Don't you hate it when you're writing some new image loading or texture drawing code but don't have any suitable test images? I always waste lots of...
Sometimes you get an idea that's a little bit oddball but for some reason you can't get out of your head and just have to run with it. This has been...
After I upgraded to a 720p display format (rather than just 800x600) the framerate took a little bit of a dip on my slower machine. Understandable...

For the last few days I've taken some time off from the AI work to mess around with some graphical effects, and in particular I've been experimenting...
The physics behind a jump in a platformer is pretty simple and something I must have written a thousand times, but having an AI player jump and land...
So I've been going through as much stuff on behaviour trees that I can find to try and figure out whether they're going to be appropriate for what...
Enemy behaviour in my current (as yet unnamed) game hasn't come on very far - just a single enemy with a traditional hard-coded finite state machine...
My website has been neglected lately, so I've decided it's time for a makeover. As well as a fresh new look and a new url I've decided to move my...
