Ok, I haven't posted in a few days because I was busy all of Friday with LAN party stuff, I was busy tidying up and getting drunk on Saturday, and I was hungover all of Sunday. So, here I am on Monday.
The LAN party was alright, but it could have been better. We had 3 PCs on wireless LAN, but becaus…

Hurrah! New PC! It's taken me about 24 hours to build it, install everything, and copy my data from my old drives. I spent about 14 hours yesterday building it and installing XP and drivers, and around 10 hours installing apps, games and transferring data.
Thanks to everyone in #gamedev who helped. …

I'm waiting on T-Mobile sending me my MMS and WAP settings, and have been for 2 hours. Balls.
Also, it seems to be impossible to transfer Java apps to my phone using the USB cable. I need to use a bluetooth adapter (which my PC doesn't have), or WAP (which my phone doesn't want to do just now, becau…

Yay! I got a Black Motorola RAZR V3. I'm happy. GBP160, and you get GBP10 topup with that, and a Virgin SIM with GBP5 credit on it. It cost an additional GBP15 to get it unlocked, so total price was GBP175 and comes with GBP15 topup.
I'm now trying to work out how to change the MMS and WAP settings,…

Damn. I failed at making 1 post a day. The plus side is that hopefully the content will get better.
I managed to break my phone yesterday, so I've decided that I want a black Motorola Razr V3. And, I'll try playing with J2ME for it.

I can't fucking stand retarded people who think that just because they have a livejournal and a myspace account that they rule the universe.

I made a config file loader. Well, I converted some old code, so it uses a callback to read a line. That way I can easily read data from resources. I just have this code:

Whee, we have digital TV now. No more crappy cable with about 8 channels. The guys were really efficient, they got the whole thing done in about 30 minutes. It would be less if our Internet connection wasn't fubar. Apparently the signal strength was extremely low, because it turned out that we were…

I finally "finished" my sound manager code. It could probably do with some tweaking, but I haven't had the need yet. I'll upload a new version if I find cause to change anything much in it.
So, as promised, you can download it from Here.
And now for the documentation. To initialize it, call
CSoundMana…

Bah, don't try going to The Mission sober. It's not worth it.
I was feeling shitty, so I was in bed all day. Now I'm off to a house cooling party (Just an excuse for a pissup). No coding done. I'm just posting for the hell of it.
Here, look at my lovely loggin, particularly for the sound stuffness:

Driving in town (Queen Street) on a Saturday evening is "interesting". I got sideswiped twice. The first time, there were 3 lanes; left/straight, straight, right. I was in the middle lane, and some guy in the inside (left) decided he wanted to be there too, so he pulled out without checking his bli…

Ok, I was wrong. My friends idea of "the entire day" is 5pm till 8pm. Still it's better than nothing I guess. She's supposed to be phoning me when she's finished organising accomodation with another of her friends, so I can persuade her to stay with me tonight. Completely innocent, it's just that w…

Well, the program now supports multiple resolutions. The map is designed to be viewed at 1024x768. If you view it at a lower resolution, everything is scaled. If you view it at a higher resolution, everything will be scaled up, but you hopefully won't notice that at all. The only real benifit of ha…

Well, I was half right. I didn't get and coding done. But I did meet up with my friend. My Apoptygma Berzerk CD didn't come either, but I expect it'll be here tomorrow or Friday.
I ended up watching Highlander II. It's... bizzare. Completely different to Highlander. So I have Highlander III to watch…

Well it turns out that Telewest aren't coming till next Tuesday; my dad got the installation date wrong. So I got some proper sleep, then got coffee'd up, and got some coding done. And also, my bed is due to arrive on Friday. Yay!
So, I did a bit of work on the MMORPG client program for a change (no…

My day just gets better and better.
At 7:30, I decided I'd had enough waiting for my friend to text me, after she hung up on me when I phoned her, and ignored my text messages (Ok, she replied to them but didn't answer the question: "When do you want me to come and pick you up"). So I went to see Pr…

Well, good news is that all my Microsoft stuff arrived. Bad news is that I've had a shitty day, and it's only 5pm.
I didn't get to sleep till 5am (Damn you, Coke-cola...), then I was woken up at 9am by my dad yelling on me that the phone was for me. When I got downstairs (Around 30 seconds later), t…

I finally finished my map editor. It's awesome. You can download it from Here if you want, but I don't think there's much point in it. Most of it should be pretty self explanatory. Oh yeah, it needs the very latest DirectX files (August 2005), if you don't have them you can get a redistributable fr…

Well, I just spent GBP58.95 on 5 Apoptygma Berzerk CDs, because I decided I needed them. Immediately. Well, they won't be here till the start of October, but it'll do.
I got:
The Apocalyptic Manifest

Kathy's Song
APBL2000
You And Me Against The World

23 minutes from the Dean bridge to March Road. I think that's not too bad myself. My legs are throbbing like a throbber that's about to throb it's last throb, though. So yeah. I'm gonna goto bed. In other news: I miss Spilly [what the hell is the crying smiley thing? Apparently it's not [cry] or [s…

Well, I got a little coding done, at last. You can now move collision lines around, and I got a bug in the selection code fixed. Yay.
I finally ordered my bed, from Homebase. It should come in around 14 days. And it fits in my room perfectly, which surprised my parents who were against be getting a …

Yay, my Microsoft tack was dispatched today. I wonder how long it'll take to arrive.
Nothing much of interest to say, except that I have a monster hangover. So I'm not coding today. The map editor should only take a day or two to finish off though, so I hope to get that done ASAP.
I also finally got …

Ok, I decided I couldn't face coding. Instead, I decided to do some real MVP stuff, checking out the newsgroups and so on.
And then I remembered: "Hey, I have a $150 voucher for the Microsoft store!". So I went and bought a bunch of crap, ranging from carabiner clips to a copy of Windows XP.
Here's w…

Well, I got around to cleaning out my fish tank. I have this huge glass which holds 21 pints, which I use to store the fish in while it's tank is being cleaned. So I had just finished, and was emptying out the water from the huge glass, and I managed to slip in the bathroom and land in the bath on …

I decided I may as well post another entry. I got bored coding though, so I didn't do that much.
You can put down colision lines, and select them (hover the mouse over them), and they turn white. But that's about it. I did my optimization too; it won't try to render or test for mouse intersections w…

Well, I'm procrastinating just now, so I decided to post here. I'm just starting to do collision detection in my editor, and it seems to be working fairly well. You can draw single lines at the moment, and I'm about to change it so you draw polylines. All the lines are just jammed into a vector, an…

Well, it's almost 2am now. I left Opium early because I was knackered, and because I felt too sober to stay. I managed to miss the last bus by about 30 seconds - I saw it pass the road end as I approached. So I went back to Opium for a wee bit.
Amyway, I left there a while ago, and I decided to time…
