Rewriting Code is Good for you.
Or so the books say. IMO it's good for the code, and has a slightly debilitating effect on the poor soul doing the rewrite.
Now why do I bring this up? Because I have rewritten Scourge to use SFML as a base instead of SDL. There are some nice advantages …The Scourge of the Win7 Seas
My dev-version of SDL hates Windows 7, 64 bit, (Ask PY), thus the title.
So I am experimenting with SFML (Yes, dammit, I'm trying it), to see ifit is more stable with Windows 7.But for now, you may want to get the appropriate runtime libraries here if you …Scourge
So, being my major project right now, of which Minecraft++ is merely a stub, Scourge is my second foray into game engine development.
My first 'engine', Epsilon, amounted to no more than some simplified graphics access, buggy Win32 code, and limited WinMM support.I decided to completely scratch Epsilon and …Development Progress
Now, though I'm not around much, I'm still continuing with the games I am making. So I thought a little 'progress' report would be in order.
UPDATE: Now with pics.So, first up: The Scourge EngineAn SDL based game engine, using the FMod and OpenGL libraries for graphics and …'tis a pain.
I logged in 30 times, to get to the 'post blog' page >_>

OK I lied. My chiptunes aren't epic. Yet.
But I do have something epic. Reference bottom of post.Besides that, I made a ZIP of my Chiptunes in NSF format, a program to play them and… nothing else. Please listen and tell me they're horrid. I bask in your insults …A couple of pointless/interesting things.
My ISP has decreed that we get capped at 5GB a month, for which we pay lots of money. After that 5GB is used, we can only access local sites (South African) and any site with a DNS server in this country (Youtube).
So I was watching much Youtube for …Make a card
For great justice! Try sticking your avatar in a card for no reason whatsoever, give yourself crazy stats, whatever you want, 'cause I don't know what the hell to do with this thing I made last night.

Last night, much Minecraft was played. Three towers where built and the server was crashed 3 times.
My tower was better than Flashback's and sirXemic's, 'cause FirestormX connected his awesome base to it.I took this screenshot just before the third crash:
