When you cannot draw a car you can always draw a running figure. Now I cannot call it a racing game, though.
It is being made in Javascript & Html5. Yeah, that's "pseudo-3D" you see. No WebGL this time.
I could write a longer blog but no one bothers reading it anyway.

Been studying for the last month for my EMT exam. one month left. then i can fuck off practice Melee/work on my game as much as I want to.
btw use tomato.es if you're having trouble concentrating with studying, like me. And read about the Pomodoro technique on wikipedia before trying it out -- it's done wonders for my undisciplined mind, and I intend to use it for game development as well when I'm done.

On programming or "why did I write a game in Java and what next"
(Finding a good title for a blog is surprisingly hard)
I finished The Oyster Mirror, that puzzle game of mine, yesterday. You can play it on Itch.io (https://jani-nykanen.itch.io/the-oyster-mirror). The source code is available on Github (https://github.com/jani-nykanen/the-oyster-mirror). The source code is actually more relevant in the point of view of this blog.
Here I would like to share something about the project if we consider it as a programming project and ignore th...

I'll start this with some life updates:
-Graduated from college
-Loving life partner
-Big group of friends
-Doing album art and caricatures

It ain't so bad
It's just really freakin hot here in Texas.
My job isn't exciting, but it pays well and I'm getting good experience. Some of my coworkers make me look so damn good.
I still get to program projects in my free time. I'm learning the Unreal Engine!
No one can stop me from eating an entire pizza. No one.
I'm joining meet up groups to make friends in my area. Networking yo.
This shit is way better than high school.
I jus...

The codename is "Project Oyster Mirror" for no good reason.
I'm using LWJGL library for OpenGL, and that library is pretty bad. Almost everything is directly ported from C, which is never a good idea.
In the moment of writing the project has 6,766 lines of code (including comments). The first time ever I'm...

My OpenGL testbed turned into a renderer that can actually draw various shapes, which I'm starting to turn into a UI so that I can create a level editor for games :D
