Back in action.
Ok, after a long time away I've decided to come back to Live Journal and Blogging. Finally something interesting to write about!
I'm studying Computer Games Software Engineering at Northumbria University. A real programming course where they teach you to actually program C++, rather than cut and paste Java!
Hopefully these adventures in game development might be of interest to people out there. This semester they keep it simple for the newbies - text adventures, so they're letting Tineladia and I do a MUD since we've got some experience of C++ already - next semester we'll be moving on to the interesting stuff.
Any ideas for a good MUD appreciated - it's going to be a custom codebase so there's plenty of flexibility out there. You can't write an entire MUD in a few months, but the framework will be there for them to mark, and development will continue afterwards.
