Sometimes something cool falls off. Saturday, August 30, 2014. LCR Tubes with less fun instructions inside. I found Eric Zimmerman's blog a while back and have enjoyed his series of posts about how he teaches game design. Particularly this one about fixing broken games. Like most geeks, I like games. I like playing them, thinking about them, how could I make them better, how can I make my own. I'd like to do this assignment, but I'm going to choose a different broken game: LCR. If a player controls no to...

The Bitwise Challenge Post-Mortem, Part 4 – Some Disagree

https://somedisagree.com/2013/08/15/the-bitwise-challenge-post-mortem-part-4

Of all the [programming/nerdy/political/random] blogs on the web, this is one of them. The Bitwise Challenge Post-Mortem, Part 4. This is part 4 of the post-mortem I’m doing for the Bitwise Challenge, in which I made a Tetris-like game called Loftis as an Addon in WildStar in four hours. Here are links to parts one. If when a block is rising it cannot move into the position above, it is time to place it. The code for placing a block is straightforward:. Check for scoring nRowCount = 0 arRowsToRemove = {}...

Sometimes something cool falls off. Friday, January 30, 2015. Ive been updating my backup procedure for Windows and learned some new tricks to share. My current backup procedure is the most horrible thing I could imagine. It copies and compresses all the files I care about and stores them on a NAS. It ignores some critical backup components:. No incremental just a full copy of everything. This takes up a lot of space. As of right now it cannot be done. For three reasons. . It takes longer to do the backup.

Sometimes something cool falls off. Wednesday, April 30, 2014. No doubt, the world of. Habitaria fears the might. Of a level 4 habit builder. And his magic helmet. I admit, the primary point of this post is to keep my resolution of one post per month. It seems like an easy goal; until finals. Warning: this post contains a bit of personal junk. Some years ago I read 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. More proof we are living in a cool future). I don't consider myself a success, but I feel like I'm final...

Sometimes something cool falls off. Saturday, November 29, 2014. JQueryFileTree - an old plugin. I've been on a project at school for some time, it's a lot of fun. I enjoy working with others for a change. The project uses jQuery and we had a need to view directories from the server. Originally I wrote a very messy class that got the job done, but then one day I stumbled on jQueryFileTree. My lame file tree. Why am I even writing about this? One part of our project didn't need files, only folders. Th...

Sometimes something cool falls off. Thursday, May 29, 2014. Damn you Avat. I mean Carbine. This might be my last post, save yourselves. It's too late for me. WildStar. Comes out in two days and I already know my weekend is ruined. This game is too much fun. Warning: personal insights that don't generalize nerds ahead. I'm also linking to phrases that come from pop/nerd culture that have influenced my way of thought over the years. It's an experiment to out the random clutter in my conscience. Someone who...

Sometimes something cool falls off. Sunday, March 22, 2015. I'm not a fan of the name, but I cannot knock. Them on professional packaging. Over spring break I decided to give Soylent a try. If you haven't heard of it check out this link to learn more. My original plan was to give it a solid scientific method-ing (could I be the first person to use "scientific method" as a verb? But either because I'm busy, lazy, or a realist I opted for a simple approach. Two bananas per 1/3 of bag:. Not worth the effort.
