I already had most of these, but used it as an excuse to get the pack for some friends who don't really play games.

Big news, it looks like these games are going open source! Lugaru and Penumbra are already, and Aquaria and Gish are pending. Some fun reading ahead for some perhaps?

If you are using an unsorted array; int largestNumber=0; for(int i=0; i < 9; i++) { if(bottle[i] > largestNumber) largestNumber = bottle[i]; } There are quicker ways of finding particular values, however you would have to sort the information in some way first.

There has been an update to the blog and a new creature for the game has just been conceived and had it's art made.

So now that it's getting along in the semester shit's getting real. The game is coming along nicely and I'm not willing to let it get swept under the rug like so many other iPhone apps. So Anouncing MY OFFICIAL WEBSITE: BAM ok so nothing specials on there just yet. However I'm planning regular updat...

I might go watch some tutorials on pixeling :D Pixel art is where I learnt a lot about art ;) I have finished a map editor for the game thus far. I started and finished this in well under a night thanks to game maker. Originally I was going to make the editor in built into the game so other people ...

I have a copy of "Beginning OpenGL Game Programming". It isn't too bad but a little brief in some places, that said the purpose of the book is to introduce you to openGL and it tries to cover a lot. I have the latest edition which is nice as it discusses things while keeping in mind what h...
