I wanted to do a quick update for everyone. I’ve been to my first day of classes and found out that I won’t be doing any programming this semester for school. This fixes the slight concern that I may have to do lots of programming for school and therefor “burn out” on it and not do much for myself. But since I won’t be doing any for school, that means I can channel all my programming prowess into my personal projects.
As other things go, I started then stopped native versions of the Zombie Infection Simulator. The first was in OpenGL, the second in SDL. I just didn’t care enough to go through with it, because of all the work it would take based on the fact that the simple (and rather elegant) way the Java applet works can’t be directly ported into OpenGL or SDL. I’ve started working on the database specification for my checkbook program (name unknown at this time). I figure that to be my next project. As for the version of Zombie City that I ported to OS X, I can’t contact the original author so I think I’ll just put it up anyway (he shared his source, so he must have expected this was possible). If he ever contacts me though, I will comply with his wishes.
Other than that, my copy of Gish (by the ever cool Chronic Logic who made Bridge Construction Set and Pontifix) just finished downloading so I can get around to playing it (I’ve been meaning to buy Gish for a few months now). See ‘ya later.
