  • Torque Game Engine

    January 20, 2005

    Screenshot from Demo Jeremy forwarded me some new about the Torque Game Engine from Garage Games. For a hundred bucks, you get a scriptable 3D game creation engine w/ source code. It’s cross-platform too, supporting Linux and Mac OS 9 and 10 in addition to Win32.

  • Weird Hiccup

    January 19, 2005

    My sister points out that my site is messed up, like it can’t find the stylesheet. Links are also strange with a “redirect” attribute I don’t remember putting in. I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it, so I try unpublishing and republishing the last auto-posted article. Then it’s OK, but is it coincidence?

    Update: It happened again between 830PM and 1010PM! What’s going on?

    Update: Apparently it’s an exploit that allows the site_url option to be changed by unauthorized people…spammers or attempts at search engine optimizing?

    The temporary fix is here… disable some code in your wp-login.php file and wait for the devs to fix. At least, I HOPE this is the problem. I had noticed some weird things happening with my site_url settings getting changed on me a couple months ago as well. I wonder if this is related to that incident.

  • Five of Ten

    January 19, 2005

    I’ve queued up 5 game programming projects for this year so far:

    • The ActiveEdge Winteractive, which I’m finalizing code for right now
    • The resurrection of Crixa
    • A Flash conversion of a game programmed by my cousin Ben Loh, originally created in RealBasic
    • A collaboration with the “cool” Brad Fitzpatrick, Illustrator / Cartoonist. Not that other guy.
    • There are also some tools on Ingeeni’s Website that look interesting, so I want to see what’s up with them. Looks like an interesting 2.5D sprite technology for Flash.

    I’m also evaluating some cross platform third party game engines for C# development…more on that later. So many tools. So little time.

  • Stupidless Computing

    January 19, 2005

    The idea of “stupidless computing” came to me in the car this morning while returning Diane’s PC. Has a certain ring to it, doesn’t it? I felt a tremendous desire to do something about this.

  • Bruce Lee Ultra-Interactive

    January 19, 2005

    Visit SiteStumbled upon I Know Where Bruce Lee Lives, the “ultra-interactive kung-fu remixer“. It’s a Flash toy that allows you to sequence audio and visual clips together. Delivers a lot of oomph for a relatively simple bit of interactive technology. It again shows that content and design is king, not fancy shmancy programming. Bruce Lee kick programmer’s butt any day of week!

    An interesting feature is the sequencer, which allows you to save your “mix” for playback, though not to an MP3.
