Implemented Lighting System in Amnos. I like it, especially now that it doesn’t drop it down to 4 FPS X.x
Does anyone have any experience with network programming? I’m creating this, and I could use any help I can get.
Worse case scenario, I’ll use SDL_net in the implementation for now, but that’s so sloppy I really don’t want to do it.
I really like sfml’s networking library. My engine has a nice networking system on top of it
Coding Fail
I just spent a good two days looking though my lua and C++ code trying to figure out why lua coudn’t spawn items. Turns out it was spawning them UNDER FLOOR TILES.
What if all women were bigger and stronger than you? And thought they were smarter? What if women were the ones who started wars? What if too many of your friends had been raped by women wielding giant dildos and no K-Y Jelly? What if the state trooper who pulled you over on the New Jersey Turnpike was a woman and carried a gun? What if the ability to menstruate was the prerequisite for most high-paying jobs? What if your attractiveness to women depended on the size of your penis? What if every time women saw you they’d hoot and make jerking motions with their hands? What if women were always making jokes about how ugly penises are and how bad sperm tastes? What if you had to explain what’s wrong with your car to big sweaty women with greasy hands who stared at your crotch in a garage where you are surrounded by posters of naked men with hard-ons? What if men’s magazines featured cover photos of 14-year-old boys with socks tucked into the front of their jeans and articles like: “How to tell if your wife is unfaithful” or “What your doctor won’t tell you about your prostate” or “The truth about impotence”? What if the doctor who examined your prostate was a woman and called you “Honey”? What if you had to inhale your boss’ stale cigar breath as she insisted that sleeping with her was part of the job? What if you couldn’t get away because the company dress code required you wear shoes designed to keep you from running? And what if after all that women still wanted you to love them?

For The Men Who Still Don’t Get It, Carol Diehl Wow. (via punkrockmermaid) Its funny because as I read though this it looks like half of this shit already happens. I’m all for equal rights but stop pretending women are all innocent and perfect. Equality will come when both sides see there own flaws |
Forgive me, but I’d love to get inside her.
You know, I was asleep tonight. Deep asleep. Then a thought starts clawing at the back of my mind a few moments ago: “what kind of stupid thing has Kayne said this time?” And that thought refused to be silenced, so here I am, awake
So I guess what I’m trying to say is: don’t be a dickhead.
Sorry but… look at her! She’s gorgeous, and a Whovian, …and I really shouldn’t have said that.
Sorry, I shouldn’t blog while drunk.
Drunkenness is no excuse for assclownery. If your first thought upon seeing a woman is to sex her up, then you need to reconsider your life choices. She’s a cosplayer, not a porn star.
That, and commending her outfit just for being sexy or whatever overlooks the effort and creativity involved in making such a good costume.
That’s not the first thing I think, thank you very much. I’m attracted to her because of the creativity.
Besides, I already apologized.
Any apology that begins with “sorry, but” is not an apology.
Fine, whatever, don’t care anymore.
What if I told you, that you shouldn’t have to feel sorry for having sexual emotions.
I see how EVE Online makes it’s fucking money. It takes time to train skills, which can sometimes take days. Just getting Mining to level 5 will take 4 days alone. On top of that, it’s possible to lose training by being “pod killed”. Every second that is spent on one of these skills is money…
This is the reason I stopped paying for mmo games it is l
An anti job. Hard work you pay to do. Plus no game on earth is worth a monthly subscription. IMO

Front end reworking
I realized that a major flaw of my entities module in the GatorQue Engine is a bad front end. For example: Each entity system has virtual functions for HandleInit(), HandleEvent(), UpdateFixed(),UpdateVariable(), Draw() and HandleCleanup(). HandleInit() and HandleCleanup() both take entity pointers and handle entities one at a time. The rest of the functions have to iterate though the entity list and perform its action one at a time, and I feel like this is not only wasteful but a pain in the butt.
I’m thinking about changing some things. Ryan has an event manager in the Core Module I might use to make things like updating and drawing only called when needed.
I will look into this and work on maybe a new format for systems,
I’ll keep you posted.
So, here’s a question: why are female video game protagonists so rare? Their absence is palpable, and we talk often of how we want to see more of them, but the why of it is typically addressed with generalizations about target audiences and a lack of women in game development. Penny Arcade Report senior editor Ben Kuchera wanted better answers than that, so he did what any red-blooded gamer would do — he found some numbers to crunch.
This sooo very much, this:
Where do I even start? What is there to say? I could talk about how I want to smash my head against the wall when I think of how Portal managed to surprise us with a female protagonist twenty years after Metroid came out. I could talk about how this article made me think of Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation, a game with an intriguing, awesome-sounding woman of color at the helm, whose exclusive release on a poorly-selling handheld console I completely forgot about thanks to a lack of marketing fanfare. I could talk about circular logic and player statistics and gender portrayals and all the other arguments that have been made a million times before. But while I find the things described in that article frustrating for a plethora of reasons, if I step back, I know that this problem wasn’t born in a vacuum. This isn’t something I can argue from a standpoint of gender equity or good storytelling, because at its core, it’s not about that. It’s about money, and it’s about everything that’s wrong with how the gaming industry works.
