Ups

What've you done lately?
  • Fog Lifting

    Did everything turn out as planned?
    I've spent a lot of this week doing jack shit.

    Well, I say that. But you know what it's like.. Even doing nothing, I'm still busy..

    I've done "simple" things, this week.
    I've tried not to code anything too big, done simple tweaky bits, and pissed about with some music.
    I also started a new website, which would've previously meant coding my arse off, but Lazy Jay just used Tumblr instead.

    Fuck it..

    It'll do..


    Downs

    What didn't you get done?
  • Plenty

    Why not?
    I've been really lazy, and my 2 weeks stuck in an empty shop, bored out of my freakin' mind, begins on Saturday..
    I had aimed to get hundreds of things done, but I haven't gotten them done, and now they're going to sit doing nothing for a while.

    *sigh*
    never mind..


    Now

    What are you working on right now?
    Spinal sent a bit of code at the weekend, and I oughta get around to that.

    How's that going?
    .. I appear to be procrastinating quite a bit, so probably not too well..

    Next

    What's the plan for the week ahead?
    I'm all out of give-a-shit, so it'll probably involve Audiosurf or something.
    ..Although the last time I tried playing that, it spent about an hour doing Steam/Game updates, so I probably won't bother.

    Ups

    What did you get done this week.
  • Began porting engine code to the Touchpad.
  • School

    Did everything turn out as planned?

    Porting code to the Touchpad has gone well enough. I had to dig into some ARM assembly briefly to implement some basic atomic operations (I just needed atomic increment/decrement routines), so that was a fun experience. Crashed gcc and the assembler in the process. I've had to write a lot of boilerplate code that Apple otherwise normally provides via its Cocoa/Core frameworks and the Obj-C language in general.

    C and C++ don't provide any constructs for synchronization, so I've ended up implementing most of that myself using pthreads (while keeping in mind that the implementation should work on the Touchpad, iOS, and regular desktop operating systems). Might have the implementation switch to libdispatch behind the scenes on Mac OS and iOS though. It's fun in its own way, but I'd really rather be working on other stuff. Also considering implementing some of libdispatch for the Touchpad as well, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms.

    Downs

    What didn't you get done?
  • Whole bunch of homework
  • Porting the bigger parts of the engine itself
  • Going to club meetings

    Why not?
    Time and said homework coming back to bite me in the ass, as usual. You'd think I would learn.

    Now

    What are you working on right now?
    Homework. Still trying to parse Emerson's writing, which is just jam-packed full of.. stuff. So much stuff to wrap my head around. Doesn't help that it's so far out of context to modern times either, I suppose. Don't know, will probably bring it up in class.

    How's that going?
    Fine so far.

    Next

    What's the plan for the week ahead?
  • More code
  • Maybe start going to club meetings again if I have time
  • Read more books

    Ups

    What did you get done this week.
  • Started working on a Match3 game engine
  • Downloaded and transferred stuff to my TouchPad
  • Went back to work

    Did everything turn out as planned?
    The Match3 engine was a lot simpler than I was expecting, and all seems to be going well so far.

    Downs

    What didn't you get done?
  • Still some decorating bits need finishing off
  • Grass hasn't been cut for a couple of weeks now.

    Why not?
    Lazy
    Bad weather

    Now

    What are you working on right now?
    As above + Match3 game graphics.

    How's that going?
    Not really started, got some nice placeholders though

    Next

    What's the plan for the week ahead?
  • Work on Match3 game.
  • Proper work.
  • Stuff that the Mrs will come up with

    Ups

    What did you get done this week.
  • Read stuff for school.
  • Attended all my classes.
  • Added some network functionality to TSOClient and the loginserver.

    Did everything turn out as planned?

    More or less. I had some issues with Nicholas (another developer), but we sorted 'em out.

    Downs

    What didn't you get done?
  • Not as much programming as I'd like.
  • Attending my second self-defense lesson in karate.

    Why not?

    Because of school.

    Now

    What are you working on right now?

    A loading screen, so that the client won't appear to be freezing while loading all the floors and walls. Also going to move the loading to the very beginning, because it makes sense.
    Right now the loading happens when clicking the 'Login' button... o_O

    How's that going?

    Ok. Probably not as fast as I'd like because of school.

    Next

    What's the plan for the week ahead?
  • See above.
  • If I have time, make another 'Tube video to document our progress.

         		Perhaps switch to a background-load, so that as soon as the login box appears, it starts loading stuff? That way, the user can take a half a minute or so, to log in, and the loading would be half-done by then...

         		Actually, the loading is already threaded, so yes, that would be quite easy to do. But a loading screen existed in the original game, and I think the community (https://www.tsorestoration.com) would like to see us bring it back.

         		I went to London today (11th)! Got up at bloody 6am!

    I joined Trade Unionists from around the country in travelling up to London to attend the NSSN rally and march to lobby the TUC, calling for a 24hr general strike as the next step in the fight back against the cuts. We were met by the deputy general secretary of the TUC, who accepted a letter and petition supporting these demands.
