Beginning Game Development
beginning game development
I think my tools for developing will be C++ using Visual Studio Express, OpenGL, and GLUT. I have found two websites that I will look at to start experimenting, http://nehe.gamedev.net/ and http://www.videotutorialsrock.com/. My first goals are to figure out creating shapes, lighting, coloring/textures, key mapping, movement, collision detection, and simple physics/gravity. Yes I know it is a lot but I think I learn them by simple examples and then tailor them for my purposes. I know that I am new to C++ but I feel that I know logic and object oriented programming enough from PHP that the transition will be better than not knowing it at all.

Word Lens
Impressive iPhone App of the Day: After 2-1/2 years of development, Quest Visual has finally launched “Word Lens,” an iPhone app capable of translating signs in real-time.
QuestVisual founder Otavio Good explains:
It tries to find out what the letters are and then looks in the dictionary. Then it draws the words back on the screen in translation. The translation isn’t perfect, but it gets the point across.
This is fucking amazing!

A beginning?...
I am finally thinking of posting interesting things, thoughts, and progress of programming projects. Who knows what the future will hold.

Strong Is As Strong Does of the Day: North Korea is strong. How strong? Well, the source code of the official webpage of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea pretty much speaks for itself, doesn’t it? (i.e., very strong).
