The glass skull of Eternal

Posted by Eternal on Aug. 20, 2006, 12:57 a.m.

Now, you have probably seen my avatar by now, with the glass skull. I'd like to point out that I actually made that, thank you very much. :) Now, I plan on making ones with different lighitng and backgrounds and stuff, and then maybe a render in DB or GM? Not sure yet.

Anyways, I plan on it being like, my logo thing.

In programming news:

Dev C++ makes no sense whatsoever to me. There website isn't too organized either, so I couldn't find tutorials. It's better than the eclipse site though, that one is shit.

I downloaded the DarkBasic trial. I like it. I'll probably buy it with my paycheck. (See later in blog.) It's got a really good help file too.

I have been doing bits and pieces in VB6. I'd upload some, but Working Model won't let me compile. :( I'll have to wait for fall, so I can get my friend Matt to get me a better version. It's too GUI for me though… It has <i>too much</i> interface, it's basically like GM for applications.

I sprited a little for AV today. I'm working on a yellow motorcycle.

AV freezes everytime I run it. I can get some GM games to work, but some don't. I am assuming that is the problem, as the same happened with Fred's FPS. I'll get someone to test later.

I have been slacking overall in GM, because I am starting to work more with other languages.

I still hate the .NET framework, but it is used alot in the 'rea world', so I might get around to learning some of the languages.

So, yeah. My friend is on vacation for two weeks, and they mow lawns at this one place on sundays. Now, I'm doing it this sunday, and I did it last sunday, so I get his paycheck. ($30) This will go towards the Buy-Eternal-Dark-Basic Foundation. Then I'll just save up another $20 dollars, and it's mine. :)

Real work starts soon. If you can call it that. I work once every two weeks at Chess Tournaments during the school year. Good pay, $50-65 a day, and the people are nice. But it's not like, an everyday thing.

I gave some C++ tutorials on my site under classes check here:

<a href="http://s9.invisionfree.com/CPPgamedev/">http://s9.invisionfree.com/CPPgamedev/</a>

Don't bother sending me the class finished assignments, but feel free to do them and contact me if you have a problem.

Google "Visual Basic Express Edition" <—Free VB Software by Microsoft, really great along with VC++ Express.
