Disqus Comments Added

Just letting everyone know I added Disqus commenting to this site, so if you have a profile with them, use that, otherwise they offer many other ways to login via Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo etc.

This adds some more commenting features, and should make the experience better overall. All previous comments should have imported correctly into Disqus.

Blogs have posts you say?

Just finished up all of my assignments for this semester, next up is the exam period. What does that have to do with posting on this blog? Well I find I get more done in the lead up to, and right after exam period, so I hope to put some or all of that here. I have also been working with some others in Dark Omen Games to help get Nebulon ready for XBLCG. A gameplay trailer is on the blog and we hope to get the game through peer review some time in June or July. I have also been considering another project that I will announce if it gets started, also done with the others at Dark Omen Games.

[Edit: Might as well embed the trailer here – Enjoy!]

Future Plans

As I mentioned in the last post, I could not move the Vectors/Scalars post over without too much issue, so I decided to drop it and instead rewrite it later, also taking into account suggestions I received about its contents. I am considering experimenting with presenting it in a video form where I can explain it better than in a written form.

I also intend to expand it into a series where I will cover the basics for 3D math/objects like what tangents and normals are, as well as an overview of Trigonometry. (Probably as a side video)

I hope to start on these soon, and I am also looking into working on some samples/tutorials for XNA, and maybe even native Direct3D10. I also have some plans for a game I would like to make, but that may take a backseat to everything else + University.

Finally thanks to the nice people at MS Press Australia, I have a copy of Windows via C/C++ 5th Edition to give away with an upcoming review of the same book. I need to consider how I will do this, but expect more information then. (Also if you have suggestions, feel free to contact me via comments, Twitter or email.

Blog Move

Update: It appears that there are some issues with the ISAPI filter and rewriting all the possible URL combos that Wordpress needs. I hope to move to an apache install soon, at which point this will be over. The current permalinks will always work, and hopefully I can have cleaner ones in future.

I have taken the time to move over my most valuable and still relevant posts (okay its just the Halo Wars review) to my new Wordpress installation. I needed to move from a .Net solution as I am not sure if I will be staying with this host in the coming months, and the Blogengine.net software was causing me too many issues to deal with at the moment.

I have already setup a redirect for the Halo Wars post, and am working on a redirect for the RSS feed in the meanwhile.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused, please be sure to update your RSS reader and any bookmarks.

I hope to rewrite the Scalars and Vectors tutorial some time soon, I had some issues with how I wrote it previously and wanted to add some more examples to it.
