[TDOT] New avvy!

Posted by TDOT on Dec. 2, 2007, 7:54 p.m.

Woot! I finally made me an avvy, Yeah, it can only last for a while, but it'll give me time to make a permanent avvy. *hmm, must think of something to make this blog less pointless* Uhh, GM has been slow. Haven't done anything really notable. Focused mainly on learning …

[TDOT] Insanity is bliss

Posted by TDOT on Nov. 24, 2007, 8:07 p.m.

:Crap about life:

Hmm, not much to report. Had no school for the past 5 days or so, so that's freakin' awesome! Been putting some of my time into learning C++ (taking a quiz right now :D). Thanksgiving was great. I think I ate at least 10 lbs of food. …

[TDOT] Game Compy

Posted by TDOT on Nov. 11, 2007, 5:16 p.m.

Yup, I just read about the Yoyogames winter game competition. Winner get's 1,000 USD, 2nd place gets 500, 3rd gets 250. I wouldn't mind winning any of those sums ;). So yeah, BZ is put on hold until the competition is over. It'd be sweet if I could win any …

[TDOT] My friends are retarded...

Posted by TDOT on Nov. 8, 2007, 8:17 p.m.

Yup, my friends are completely retarded. My friend just finished telling me about how he got another of my friends to pose as me talking to this one girl online, and pretty much got her raging, so that pretty well sucks. Anyway, not much else to report. Nearly got the …

[TDOT]Still Working

Posted by TDOT on Nov. 7, 2007, 8:51 p.m.

Yup, still working at it. I'm slowly getting the ammo system implemented. Right now I'm down to a problem with reloading. Once that's outta the way, the ammo system is as good as finished and I can start on something else. Been trying to decide whether or not to add …

[TDOT] I come with screens

Posted by TDOT on Nov. 6, 2007, 5:30 p.m.

Yes, I have a couple early beta screenies today. Right now I'm at that point where I can start making some headway, but it's also the point where it takes longer to make decent strides. Anyway, here's screen number one…

[TDOT] New project

Posted by TDOT on Nov. 2, 2007, 4:28 p.m.

Hello again. Been a while since I've blogeed anything :S . Well, I'm taking a break from the torments of geo wars and grids (and C++), and I'm going to have some fun with a new side-project. The game is called BattleZone: New Target (working title), and it's based completely …

[TDOT] sigh

Posted by TDOT on Oct. 11, 2007, 7:41 p.m.

Ugh, this grid stuff is seriously irritating me. I've spent the past 2 days learning how to use data structures (still don't have a GREAT grasp of how they work), and trying to draw a grid to the screen using some coordinates stored away in my data structures (after setting …

Grids and Halo

Posted by TDOT on Oct. 8, 2007, 6:13 p.m.

Well, time for my daily blog entry. Finished Halo 3, and now I'm trying to beat it on legendary (not the smartest thing to do.) Wish I had more to report about my game, but school was a killer today. I came up with a theory for my grid effects(which …

Art Style

Posted by TDOT on Oct. 7, 2007, 4:02 p.m.

I've decided to use machine rendered graphics instead of sprites for everything but the background (star field). I've been messing around with polygons and have my ship shape figured out. I still need to make the vertices rotate with the ships direction (which should be fairly easy to accomplish with …
