hmm.. it's been a while since i last posted here, and I
have learned a lot. Lets see, what have I done since! Well
not much sad to say. The truth does hurt, but
unfortunately school work was the only programming I have
accomplished since last post. I have all but abandoned my
last projects that are not well coded and were not object
oriented, although I am going to cut some of the code out
for future projects, because what can I say, I'm lazy. I
have been looking curiously at an SDL demo my friend made
and when this semester is over (next week) I plan to
contribute my own 2 or 3 cents towards a working game
demo. Our project (he doesn't like me to say OUR, as I
haven't contributed yet) will be a simple role-playing
game. His plans of the game are for monsters to be walking
around and come attack you. My idea for a first game is
more of a Final Fantsy, Dragon Warrior, traditional style
of RPG. Easy comparison: he wants Crystalis, I want Final
Fantasy 1. I have been having some trouble codeing my
homework, but I have a very good understanding of what I
want to do. The only problem occurs when I have to write
the code. All else I that I have been doing was getting an
old DEC Multia to run and toy around with that. I am also
interested in creating databases, just because I took a
database course this semester. Primary goals for the
summer: SDL game demo, play with php, play with DB's.
