Its been a while..

Its been a long while since I've last posted, so long that I've even considered giving up on this blog. Anyways, I've decided to go on... for now. I'll try to post at least twice a week from now on.

As for whats been going on with my life... lots of stuff. I've finished playing the entire Half-Life 2 series (except for Lost Coast). I've "completed" my Arkanoid clone. Completed as in I've written all the code to make levels for the game, but I haven't written the code for the levels themselves. And, it looks ugly. I also started work on a Porojectile Motion Simulator, which I finished yesterday. Again, I haven't bothered to fix any of the more perplexing problems in the code and I still haven't added all the features required for the project to be officially finished.

Today I've been messing with animation using SDL and I've got a nice little test program up and running, with scrolling and all.

I should also mention that I've just begun to learn touch typing so that I can type faster.

Oh and I've just started reading a rather interesting book, "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman". Be sure to check it out, its really interesting.

And did I mention I'm in the process of playing Prey. Really nice game.

Thats all for today's post folks. Lets all hope I can be a little more regular from now on.
