:Life:

School's been suck-ish. English continues to be my downfall, and my literature course bores me to tears. Still, geometry and Chemistry help fill the void.

Played flag-football today with some friends. Had a couple receptions and a kick return for a touchdown so that was pretty sweet =D

:GM:

Picked up another project on top of PL@gine. I'm gonna try and enter the Halloween comp if for nothing else then to make eagly happy XD

However, it's kinda working WITH dev of PL@gine, as I'm running the game on it. I'm planning a platform shooter (how original) which you will basically fight hordes of zombies that will gradually become harder (e.g. eventually zombies will be fast and jump 15 feet :p ).

:Ruby:

Yup, I recently downloaded Ruby after talking about it in IRC (I think it was cakeboy…..) I'd heard of Ruby before, but having downloaded Python and hating it (for a reason that I now feel an idiot about), I had no interest. But now, after trying Ruby out, scripting languages seem awesome. The language is simple and easy to use, but lets you do just about anything you want. After finding Ruby to be great, it made me consider other scripting languages (mainly Lua as it seems to be the most popular scripting language alongside Python). I haven't downloaded Lua yet as I don't wanna get concepts mixed together at my early stage of learning, but I plan to delve into that within a month or two.

:C++:

Nothing really to say here other then the fact that using Ruby has re-sparked my interest in C++, as it's helped me understand some aspects of programming better.

Well, that's about it. ENTER THE HALLOWEEN COMP!!!

@hel, haha, there was just something about Python that I thought was ugly. I'm guessing Lua's good then?
chyea. I had several reasons for switching, most I can't remember now (of course) except that Lua uses much less RAM.

Retro's issue is understanding how to program

Have you tried Python again?

(Now go screw it all over and become a Lisp weenie, or be all purity freakish and start using Haskell)
