No news...

Well, that's not entirely true. I finally managed to land a job, and I've registered for classes for next semester. As such, I haven't really been doing much in the way of programming. Oh well, I still fully intend to complete more of this site as time allows. I still have to get the projects section up and I might do a section showing off some of my web design work, but we'll see.

At any rate, I'll update here if/when there is any news.

Vapormap screenshots!

Tuesday, November 3, 2009, 10:34 pm

So as many of you (my readers probably consist of people I chat with in IRC) undoubtedly know, vaporware has been officially announced, which is a set of single player maps for DOOM2 that uses the Eternity Engine. I am slated to produce a map for the set, and producing I have been!

Look for more updates soon!

Lessons I learned today...

Floats can have larger absolute values than integers of the same bit-width. Yes, I know, pretty elementary. I had this great idea that I would use Doom's solid seg system (which blocks out entire groups of columns for rendering where 1s lines have been rendered in the frame) to clip seg x values to the visible screen. Problem is, the float values used in projection are cast to ints long before the segs are clipped to the solid segs which can produce situations where floats with values larger than INT_MAX (or smaller than INT_MIN) are cast to integers. Crashings were the ultimate result. Bad times. Lesson learned.

Maps section is back up

Just a quick note that I have put up the doom maps page back up now, so people who want to see my feeble attempts at mapping can giggle at the dumb kid... or something

New site up! (sort of)...

Tuesday, October 27, 2009, 11:51 pm

Ok, so the basic functionality is all up and in place. There is still a bit more work to be done on the back end, but this new site should starting seeing some real content soon! The new site format I designed is a bit more like a wiki (that only I can edit) in that the various sections, subsections, and what-not are all part of a single 'Pages' system and referenced by name... Just wait 'til I get the various sections up and you'll see what I mean.
