Projects

Monday, February 26th, 2007

I haven’t begun coding my many projects yet, but here’s a temporary list of what might come:

  • Enimal – My dream of making a program to simulate life and evolution. It should be in a ever changing world. The world should be visible. The first thing to make is the weather, then the plants, and then the animals.
  • Open Theme Hospital - This is a project a saw here (although under a different name, but that can’t be used any more because of a commercial game with that name). The old project has stalled, and was intended to run in python.. I’m currently in contact with one of the 3D artists, so we can start the project again. This time it shall be in the great language D!
  • Implementing various algorithms – I’m studying computer science, and here I’m learning all sorts of different algorithms, and why not make the cool ones in D? So that is what I’m going to do here.

Short intro

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

So, I finally got a blog. I’ve long thought about writing about my experiences with the programming language D, but couldn’t quite figure out how it should be. Then I stumbled upon http://odefu.blogspot.com/ . “Very nice” I thought, “this is a good idea”.

This is the result from all that thinking. I don’t know if it’s ever going to be a good blog, but I’m sure I’ll be updating it from time to time.

My blog’s probably going to concentrate on game programming with D. This is quite big, so that is probably going to be 2d, 3d, openGL, Derelict, Tango, threads ( and concurrency ), networking and certainly more.

Motivation

Right now some of you are probably thinking: “Why is he going through all this trouble setting up a subdomain and making this blog and writing to it?”. Oh, my little ignorant friend ;) I’m doing this so I can give something back to the community. Another good reason for this, is that I use Linux ( it’s gotten really user-friendly with Ubuntu ) and many users in the forum uses those awful capitalistic os’. The whole D-community seems Window$ified. Now the freedom is here!
