I'm just updating to say Happy Holidays!. ...and also that I'm currently
having some problems with my router. It keeps crashing, so if the site isn't up 100% of the time, I'm sorry. I'm trying my best to keep it up
as much as possible. (It's been a battle.)

Just a short little update. Incase anyone was wondering (which I'm sure they're not), the site was down today due to problems I was having
with my network. Everything should be up and running fine now. Sorry for any inconvience.

So the sites been moved over and everything seems to be going great. All good news on the webpage front. Now as for my text editor, I might
have killed it. (haha, not really) Long story short, I'm working on getting the multi-file editing working, and to do so I basically had to
take out everything and rework the core GUI of the application. (I'm not so sure if I just used that term correctly...) Well anycase, it's in
a dangerous state now, but hopefully it'll be back in the safe very soon.

Well, it's finally in the works (as you can see by viewing this site). The
big "Move" over to my own private server is almost complete. I just need
to add the actual files over and move this html document to the sites root
directory! It's nice to be hosting a site now that doesn't have a 2inch
side bar and a pop up for every page. (What happened to you GeoCities???)
Well, anycase, Enjoy.
UPDATE: Files uploaded. Please tell me if you find a broken links,
thanks!

Ah, it's almost Christmas time again! Anyway, I've been working on the File Editor program quite a bit. It's coming along nicely. (Those words are usually the kiss of death to my projects) I've added it to the projects section along with a screen shot, which can be found here. Tell me what you think.
In other news, I'm thinking about hosting my site locally from my computer at home also. (The site that's currently my file server [Which is here]) I'm not 100% sure yet because I do most of my updating from school and if I changed it to a local site on my computer I would have to set up some sort of web-applet type of editor...or just an ftp server...hmm.. The gears are spinning!

Sorry for the some-what lack of updates. I've been having a little less free time at work study (thus less time to program) but I have indeed gotten the hang of programming using the qt header files for the most part. I'm working on a text editor that has built in console support (for easy compiles... yeah I know you can just have the console right next to the text editor but w/e) and possibly multi-file editing. I'm using this as a "booster" to get me prepared for the client/server project.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
With that being said, I do indeed have an update. I was playing around with the KDE headers for the past afternoon and after all that, I don't really like them. I've decided to go with the QT headers to handle GUI capibilities for my server/client program. The good thing about QT headers is that it's completely cross platform. It will compile under Unix/Linux/Mac/Windows hopefully without problem. (I've had none with Linux... even though it's embedded :P) So it appears my project is back to being multiplatform! Hurrah!
- Nukem |
| News: 10-24-05 |
...and the project storm rages on. I'm currently working on a new project. Yes, I know, it seems that's all I do. I start a project, get bored and start another. So here goes this idea. It's a simple server and client application that forwards messages to users who can sign into the server to retrieve messages left for them. It's I guess a very basic email program but with Instant Messaging influences. I'm using SDL_net to handle all the TCP/IP protocol and currently stdio to handle input/output. (You can currently log into the server and send messages to it.) I'm thinking of transferring over to KDE headers or just plain X server headers for GUI capabilities. So yes kids, this is going to be a Linux only project seeing that I can't easily convert from Linux X server to Win32 without redoing almost the whole source code. More news at it progresses.
Oh I also added a little FireFox link on the News page for all of you that are still using Internet Explorer. :P

Ok, So I've beening a little schitzophrenic lately with my projects. I've been creating, getting 50 lines, and starting over. I'm finding it hard to find intrest in a project that isn't similar to the many projects I've had in the past. It seems all I want to make is bad, simple, RPGs. Well, I have an idea for a strategy like game where you're a manager and you have to manage a store. More of a Sim, but you get the idea. I've started some work using KDevelop in Linux and I'm currently using SDL also. More info as it progresses or terminates.

Alright, so RPG has been put on temporary hold. (like everything else I've ever programmed). I'm thinking about making a simple GUI for MS-DOS similar to the likes of DOS Shell that was packed with MS-DOS 5.0. I'm not sure how far I'll get with something like that, but it's a working idea. Also, I've started to teach myself a little COBOL programming...I'm not really sure how well I'm doing seeing that I've yet to find a decent IDE/Compiler combo. It looks like it's going to have to be ol' Notepad and command prompt. :(

Yeah, yeah, yeah, lot's of updating lately... it seems pretty common when this time of year comes around. Well anyway, I've ported my RPG over to Win32 so I can work at it during school. It's coming along quite nice and the areas of the games basic layout is almost complete. I'm also changing the characters used for graphics over to the default DOS ASCII key code instead of semi-fitting characters found on the standard keyboard. As for the battle system, inventory system, or general player party stuff, I've yet to even start that area and it'll be a while before I do so. Well, that's it.

I've decided to keep my RPG "second attempt" ASCII graphics because it's so much easier that way, especially considering how far I've gotten in it thus far. The concept of the game is almost exactly like that of the original RPG except it's A) Linux based and B) Redone completely from scratch using Classes and much neater programming. (if you can call it that). I've also decided to include a difficutly level. I know a lot of people will be turned off with that "Arcade" like aspect of the game but I know if I make a simple RPG where people don't have the option of beating in one sitting and possibly coming back and try it on a harder difficulty, they're not even going to sit through 1/2 of the first sitting. Well, not really much more to say... school is starting so perhaps I'll have a lot more time to work on programming perhaps I won't, we're just all going to have to wait and see. ...until next time.

Well, my program adventure has begun, again. I've started work on an ASCII console RPG like many before, namely "RPG". This game is currently in a very similar vein. I'm programming it in Linux but I'm sure if I can I'll get a Win32 port. I'm not sure if I want to keep it ASCII graphics or bump it up to SDL. The whole idea of the project was to keep is simple, thus the ASCII graphics but I think SDL might be a bit more challenging. More info as it developes. I'm also thinking about making a Breakout clone because I think that would be relatively easy too. :P

Ah great news! No, it's not a new programming venture... yet. I've installed Slackware Linux 10.0 on my computer! I've managed to get a fairly nice C++ IDE for it called MinGW Developer Studio and it's GREAT! A lot nicer than Dev C++ for Windows if you ask me. The only thing is, If I'm going to program on this computer I guess I'm just going to be able to post the source codes seeing that most of the PC world is running Windows. :D Well that's it for now!

You know, one day I'll finally update the menu on the side so that it goes to the NEW MESSAGE boards, but for now you're all just going to keep having to go through the old one and clickin on the link to the new one. Sorry, I don't have time this morning to fix that. As for Programming, it's been put on hold because my band is recording and such. So basically *insert generic excuse to avoid work here*.

Ok, So I just finished my first semester at college, and it was great. It's summer time now but I doubt that means I'm going to have more free time. That's alright though, maybe I'll whip something together just for the sake of an update... lord knows I haven't had a real update in about 1/2 a year. haha

Ok, So that was the fastest month (almost 2) in the history of the world. It doesn't go without any update though, I did indeed work on the side scroller a little bit, and by a little bit I mean very little. I basically reviewed a bunch of SDL stuff in C++ to get me going, I'm just out of time 90% of the time. (repeditive much?) and the release of Numb, surprisingly still hasn't happened... that's just due to my own laziness. (as usual).. So yeah.. that's all~!
- Nukem |
| News: 3.7.05 |

Ok, so the release isn't the reason for this update, actually the reason is just boredom. I'm in class and have nothing better to do. I'm going to finish Numb and then I'm thinking I want to do some sort of side scrolling game.. Just a simple one with maybe like a level or two. In anycase, I'll probably keep you all updated.

Good news to report as we approach a month of no updates. In my programming class we're finally doing stuff that teaches me things! Hurray! But even more importantly, I double anyone remembers "Numb - The Stupid Adventures of Jolly R" the text Qbasic game I was creating about 2 years ago. Well I have been working on it and I'm sure it'll be out by next update. (Actually I'm pretty sure it's going to be the reason for the next update.) So look for that in the near future.

Happy bilated New Year! Yeah, I finished my first semester at college with a 3.71 GPA.. I'm pretty proud of myself. Um, not much programming updates. My friend Mike and I started to create a DOS chat program but never finished, we sorta just got the basics of it down. Other than that, not much has been done. If you're interested in the API we were using to create it, it was SDL-Net. I'm sure if you search google you can find it 1-2-3. Well that's it.. Until next time.

Ok, So I'm not on top of things at all. I'm just updating the files today. More importantly why I am having this update is because I'm stopping programming on Millennium Crisis, it is too big of a project to be working on with school, work, and everything. I'm thinking I'm going to start fresh with a simple side scroller game... or something of the sort that I can work on in my free time. Sorry to the maybe one(?) person that might have been looking forward to that game.

I don't know why I'm so lazy when it comes to uploading new stuff. I have to still reuploade the Millenium Crisis demo with the .DLL file and the Free Fall Physics demo. I did update the link to Puckdroppers site and added Retna's site to the links page though, so I'm sorta on top of things... right? - Nukem |
| News: 10.13.04 |

Ok, Millennium Crisis is in heavey re-developement. I've redone the code once and the engine is running much better and more flexable. I think I'm going to have to do it atleast once more before I can move on in production of the game. I also made a free fall physics engine demo, it still needs to be tweaked but it runs pretty nice. I'll upload it once it's 100% done.

Alright.. Major news, I mean.. BLOCKBUSTER. I have finally released the demos for Wry 3: Stale and Hellbent. Yes, that's right, after over 2 years of waiting, the demos are finally out. They're over in the Qbasic files section. A special note on hellbent though, you have to extract the files to "C:\hellbent" for the program to run correctly. Oh and you won't believe this... I FOUND A LOST BACKUP OF THE RPG SOURCE. Yep, that's right... I found a copy of my C++ program that still works. I'm not making any promises that it'll ever be finished, but the possibility is there. :D I would say that's all.. but that sounds like I'm belittling this massive update.

Alright, hardcore programming has been done on Fear, which I'm now just going to call Millenium Crisis b/c I don't really feel like thinking up another name. I've actually gotten so far that I have released an Engine demo (it's in the C++ files section). It's not much yet but it took a bit to get that far. It's probably the most advanced release NE has ever had. More info coming soon.

| News: 9.20.04 |

You will never believe what has happened.. I have started to program again. My friend Mike and I are programming a C++ game based on members of our band using the SDL library. It's coming along pretty nicely. Also, if anyone remembers the QB game I was working on in 1999 (that's 5 years ago) called Millenium Crisis... ha, probably not. Well It's a C++ game that mixes the gameplay idea of that and a little bit from Terror. Currently it's being called "Fear" but I have a feeling that might change pretty soon. Hey, maybe I'll even post the old Millenium Crisis code sometime in the future (if i can FIND IT) to give you guys a better idea what I'm talking about. Until then.. Adios!

Alright, I just realized I've been making up excuses for not programming for about a year... and it's just sad now. So yeah, no more excuses in updates for not programming.. If I program something I'll post it and such otherwise it's just going to be regular rambling updates like usual.. For example. I got my new IBM ThinkPad laptop yesterday (and yes I'm using it right now to update this website).. For all those interested here are the specs:
Processor: Intel Centrino 1.5GHz
RAM: 512MB
Hdd space: 30Gig
Optical Media: DVD-Rom/CD-RW drive
Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 (1024x768)
Internet: Wireless B/G PCMCIA card also Dialup port and RJ45 ethernet port
OS: Windows XP Professional
Display: 17''
Weight: ~5lbs
Other Features: Keyboard light built into top of display for working in the dark and also quick resolution change both via keyboard shortcut.
So yeah, that's about it concerning my new laptop.. And who knows, now that I can just bring it anywhere I may just get bored and start programming at like my kitchen table or something.. hahaha Yep, same old excuses and plans for the future you've all heard before... (and trust me this is the last one unless something really does happen)

Wow, exactly a month between updates. Anyway, that stupid converter was lame and no one would ever get any fun out of it so I stopped working on that. I started working on this new game that the object is to get the gold bar in each level while avoiding bad guys and collecting dots for points. I programmed the basic basic (yes I meant to put that twice) engine of it. It's going to be a robotron type game (..I think?). Oh, and I uploaded the RPG demo/final release, (final release b/c the source got corrupt.) It's in the C++ files section.

Well, finals are finally over and I passed everything so I have some free time on my hands now. I still have work and the band I'm in is definitly a priority of mine but slowly but surely I'll finish the RPG. All that's really left to do is collision detection with buildings and objects and then implement the story into the game. Puckdropper created a game (and started a series) called Go Home: North, i uploaded it to the QBasic files section. Check it out it's very Wry like. I also "beta tested" the sequel Go Home: South. And that, IMO, is going to be amazing. Ok, well that's it for now.

I'm currently working on a C++ RPG, it's going really really good. I don't exactly know when I'm going to finish it but I might release a demo pretty soon showing off what I've gotten done so far. Basically, if I just went the extra step and bothered with color it would rival Hellbent..

The site is pretty much done, I just added screen shots of the projects I'm currently working on. Trust me, it took a long time to do. Also, I didn't officially change the page because Puckdropper told me that on his Netscape the page isn't working. So I sent him the news HTML file so he can see what the problem is. Once that problem is resolved I'll change the site.

Finished almost all of the sections of the web site today. The whole site will probably be completly done by Thrusday, but I'm not going to replace the old site until probably about Saturday. If you'd found this site or if you'd gotten here from the message board, tell me what you think.
