What I did today

Reverse engineered another commercial product. Once again, not releasing or using. It’s really really funny though, how insecure paid applications can be.

Got my 0x100th medal. :smiley:

Also, working on an extremely simple and easy-to-use model editor:

I tested my knowledge in Paint.net and threw this together.

I used “I Want My TTR!” for and “Lapetus” for the fonts.
I’m actually thinking of making a cyberpunk themed action game too. Which was part of the reason :wink:

This reminds me of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon - really similar style. :slight_smile:

Today I sighed. Well first I opened my IDE, I looked at my ToDo list, poked around some of my classes, and then I sighed. Every time I work on a project I seem to hit this point where the code becomes this amorphous blob and making changes becomes more and more difficult. This time through I was determined not to let that happen and I have been refactoring and refactoring to (hopefully) so I can keep making progress. I have tried to keep my tasks very small and simple so that I make some amount of progress. I think it is a mental thing more than anything else…

sigh

Finally got to a stage where I could record a video to show, yay.

I finished a utility for the place I work at and got to take a look at some… Well, mythic (In the ‘Once upon a time there was a terrible dragon that killed everyone. The end.’) C# code.

Wrote a little blog post on inspiration for game development coming from the Homeworld series. Great games, those.

First day of university, CS naturally. :slight_smile:

oooh, homeworld. love that one. … have you played ground control 1/2 ? … just wondering. if you find homeworld inspiring, GC is basically the same game but more 2D.

Set up gulp, react, and browserify ! :smiley:

More work done on my XML based markup language:
File: main.rml


<rml class="Main">
	<main>
			// Lists are not yet implemented
			//<list name="myArray" type="string">
			//	<ar value="Hello"/ar>
			// <ar value="Good Bye"/ar>
			//</list>
		<int name="index" value="500"/int>
		<string name="line" value="This is a test of strings"/string>
		<@func name="myFunc" /@func>
	</main>
	
	<func name="myFunc">
		<print>
			<@var name="line"/@var>
			<@var name="index"/@var>
			*Really a Markup Language* is single and ready to mingle!!
		</print>
	</func>
</rml>

Output:


*Really a Markup Language* is single and ready to mingle!!
This is a test of strings
500

To Do: Conditional Statements, Loops, Boolean Values, Lists, Math, Console in Window. Wish me luck!

Got Catalyst drivers working on my laptop! (Linux)
Then spent most of the day playing games that didn’t work or didn’t work very well before.

Still would not recommend AMD. Get an NVidia card and save yourself all the pain.

Made a Halloween themed profile picture during math class.

Congrats! I remember what a pain it was to get my old laptop to work with my AMD card in Arch. However, keep in mind that you would still have to go through a painful process with nvidia. Besides, if you’re going to play games don’t do it on Linux. It sucks, but games and drivers are simply made for Windows nowadays. Hopefully that’ll change…

Anyways I just got finished writing one of my science fair essays, this year I’m comparing different artificial neural network training algorithms. I think I’m the only person in my class excited for the science fair. It’s super late, I need to go to bed. G’night forums.

No, nvidia drivers are reasonably well supported. Or maybe it’s just relative to AMD.

To sum it up, a new catalyst driver was released today that is incompatible with the latest xorg server (released at least a month ago).

Things do stuff, but its time to tidy up the code… the guy in the locker is an instance of Wall -_-

Excellent pixel art! :slight_smile:
