Now that the first half a year of my time studying Game Design is over, I found it would be a good time to look back on the experience so far … and I realized that I had forgotten a major thing – the outcome of the first real challenge on the Game Design course. [...]
Name is still a placeholder. So, for now just “The VGNGGGwNN”. Not to be attempted to be pronounced. Ok, you may, but you might fail. Yeah. Alternatively “Primal Internet Fun”. It started with the following link was thrown out at the internal Facebook-page for the Game students at ITU: http://videogamena.me/ As fate would have it, [...]
… was just like any other tweet – I guess – but the difference is, that it made me realize that it has been ages and ages since I’ve actually written anything here, save perhaps an update or two. What better way to redeem myself than to elaborate on the tweet in question? Awesome, yet [...]
And so, the 3 week programming-course I’d been working with is over. The report is written, the program compiled (and worked!) flawlessly – although the last compile was done 1½ hour before the actual exam – and the board that ran our program is returned. I’m actually going to miss the thing, it was rather [...]
Today, the “big course” of this semester started, which for me is “General Rhetorics”. The first reaction from most is probably most likely “What on Earth would you take that for, as you’re a Computer Scientist?!”. And, that’s what I plan to answer, in a way that tells about myself. And why would I do [...]
While doing the exam I was going through the previous week, I happened to notice a funny, yet extremely obvious similarity between the subject and World of Warcraft. Part of the assignment was about Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks (RAID). The rest should be, as mentioned, fairly obvious. Of course, a similarity isn’t that funny [...]
It’s in periods like these, where irony shows its ugly face. The period in this matter, is exams. As usual, that takes a lot of reading, with your face deep into the – way too heavy – books. Now, the irony, is that I’ve just gotten hold of two great books that I want to [...]
If you’ve ever written or read sections of code, you’ll eventually end up seeing comments pretty much everywhere, describing what’s going on, arguing why this exact approach is the best, or why it was necessary that a certain ugly hack was “needed”. However, comments can also be the source of immense amounts of fun. The [...]
Before starting out this subject, I had to translate the course-name that all of the following was discussed in, which lead to the sort of spam-like name “Theory of the Science of Computer Science and Engineering” (leading to the wonderful acronym “TotSoCSaE”. Kudos to Julian for “discussing” the best suiting one with me). Anyway, to [...]
