K. So I can't work on Lazteroids 2 on my crappy computer, so I decided to start on something new, aside from my little talker thing. It's a little editor that I'm calling "Editor Zero." It really serves no purpose, other than to see if I can do it.

Right now all you can do is place nodes. Can't conn…

So since my video card is borked on my good computer, i've been using a computer i once used as a server. In fact, it's sold to be a server. It's some Dell Optiplex thing, like 1GHz with 512 megs of ram, but being that it's designed to be a server, the onboard video card has like 1 meg of memory or…

So let's elaborate on what my post was about yesterday, SHALL WE?! (I apologize for doing this, i just need to vent some more) ...

So this weekend divorce came about between me and my wife, so things are really edgy at home. That's all about this weekend I'm going to divulge, but it was *much* worse…

So I'm just going to say that Murphy sucks, and so does his law. When shit hits the fan, it seems to hit hard. I won't go into details , but i've just had the worst weekend of my life (it involved the ER and a cop and some other people I won't mention), and today my video card at home fried (no pro…

Okay, so I got bored and decided to make ASCII art of some various GDNet post icons. I realize that they suck, and that some of them aren't actually here. Chances are, if it's not here, it was either too anti-aliased or I was too lazy to make it look halfway-decent.

So i've run into a few WTFs in the code for my Lazteroids game. Below are the two biggest and most problem causing WTFs I've come across in my code. So, for your viewing plasure, here you go. Spot the WTF!

WTF #1:

Okay so I think I'm going to tackle the UI next in my game. I've only written anything like this once, and it was for our Full Sail final project called "The Omega Initiative" (I swear I'll put the site back up someday).

It was rather lame in that it didn't have any windows. You could create buttons…

Okay so I got some help from Schmedly and we got the rotation problem licked. Funny how the biggest problems are caused by the smallest things, eh?

So it all works as it should now. For anyone who's interested, click the disk to download...

Well I've been doing some work on my game lately. I switched from using the X/Y plane (and the camera looking down the Z) to using the X/Z plane, with the camera looking down the Y. It caused me quite a few headaches, and modifying the camera class to have a LookAt function on top of that, just con…
