Here’s a cool site I dugg the other day on game programming.

Amit’s Game Programming Information

I started my copy of Tetris on Sunday after reading some of this page and listening to the interview with Ryan Gordon from Icculus and SDL on FLOSS Weekly last week.

Everyone says write Tetris. Which makes sense. And is proving to be pretty fun. I’ve only had time to write code while on the Ferry to visit family. I’m holding off looking at any other code so I can see after the fact how terribly hacky my version is. As per usual I have grander ideas for the tool that you can use to create custom blocks than I do for the game itself. I’m such a tools guy.

Other news:

If I can sell off our ‘74 VW Bus. I’ll be able to pick up a nice new MacBook. Gonna get the 2Gigs of Ram off NewEgg and a copy of Parallels. =) I’ll be set. Then I have to move my office out into the Garage where the Bus used to be. Anyone in Washington looking to have a nice VW Bus?

Digg’s new Version 3 upgrade busticated my “Rev Digss” tab. They have an RSS feed for it now. I’ll figure out what I’m going to do with that later. For now you can view my diggs here http://www.digg.com/users/RevFry/dugg. Maybe I should just update the tab to point there.

Having problems attaching to running processes with VStudio 2k5. It’s just my spazzing I’m sure. I’ve got several files to register and usually I just generate an install with my NaNT script, install it, and run to test things out. Well, when I was using VStudio 2k3 for the project it was just find to attach to the already running MMC and things worked fine. Now I get all sorts of complaints about no debug information and what have you even though I follow the same steps. Oh well.

My boss gave me a copy of Vista to install and try out. I don’t have a machine with a DVD drive though. =) Maybe later.

Uhh can’t think of much else. Later.
