Xmas Xompo 2010 : Status Report17th November 2010 I have a pretty good idea of what I intend to do, but am having some trouble sorting out a few medium-sized gameplay issues in my head. Once those are out of the way, I'll be ready to start, although I'm probably pushing it a bit by now. :O |

Blitz seems crap at percentages11th November 2010 The default data type in Blitz for numbers is integers, not floats, so (howFar / howWide) * 100 is interpreted as: 1) howFar / howWide = x; but x is a float, and I want an int! Hence I must round it! 2) *rounds value to 0 or 1* 3) I must now multiply th*snip* |

Load BMP?24th October 2010 For some of the BBC BASIC things I've been doing as a side-project in my Computing lessons (and I may eventually put up here at some point), I recently wrote a BBC BASIC program to read in bitmaps (to then do some other stuff with them). Here's the bitmap*snip* |

What Have You Done : 20th October 201020th October 2010 Ups What did you get done this week. Been a busy week work-wise, but I finished up on an ASCII-art generator and PBM reader in BBC BASIC as little side projects in Computing. My teacher has been setting me little extra tasks to do along the lines of 'mak*snip* |

What Have You Done : 13th October 201014th October 2010 Ups What did you get done this week. Since last time, I've been doing various things. I got quite a bit of good work done on my current coding project, and the next big chunk of it is going pretty well. Time to work on it comes in small gluts due to scho*snip* |

Graphics lib for C++4th October 2010 On (I think it was Phoenix's) recommendation, I've been using SFML. It's pretty versatile, although perhaps Allegro may be simpler (I haven't checked). |

What Have You Done : 8th September 20109th September 2010 Ups What did you get done this week. [*]Went back to school. [*]Got older. Did everything turn out as planned? That's all that happened basically. :P Downs What didn't you get done? [*]Any work on 'actual coding'. [*]Free time. Why not? School. *snip* |

Any good books, lately?29th August 2010 On the non-fiction side of things, I recently read 'Bad Science' by Ben Goldacre. It's an entertaining but interesting read on pseudoscience and alternative medicine. Currently, I'm reading 'Can a Robot be Human' by Peter Cave. Again non-fiction, it's a bo*snip* |

Thoughts on Unregistered Comment System...18th August 2010 While it's OK in principle, I can see spam becoming an issue once any spambots track it down. Also, it's not that hard to register, and creating an account at least encourages people to come back, right? Ultimately though, I guess it couldn't hurt to at l*snip* |

Frontpage17th July 2010 The only thing I don't like about that is that it shows a new entry for each individual post... how about combining similar things, so instead of: Andy posted in topic Foo (1 hour ago) Bob posted in topic Foo (3 hours ago) Chris posted in topic Bar (4 h*snip* |

QOTD : Bias Towards Installers?16th July 2010 I'm fine with installers from established companies / organisations I trust, but anything else I want in a zip so I know exactly what I'm installing. |

Frontpage13th July 2010 I like Stealth's idea of having an activity feed in the middle. My only concern would be that it would make the current sidebars redundant, so what would you put in their place? |

Level storage?27th June 2010 But if you don't have a file system, surely storing them in an array like that is the only way of doing it? Sorry, I'm slightly confused... what are the limitations of the SNES, and why is your given method unsuitable? |

Skills and Interests26th June 2010 What platforms do you enjoy coding? Well, I've only ever coded on Windows, cos I've never really thought that much about coding for other stuff. What other useful computer knowledge do you have? Nothing particularly special with computers, although I'm *snip* |
