And so it begins…

Posted in Development, Shock, Twisted Pair with tags , , , , on 2011/01/23 by Adam Griffiths

Well, I resigned from my job last friday to focus full time on Twisted Pair.

The way I see it, if I fail at getting this off the ground, I can just consider the time spent as a big holiday with my family. So either way, everyone wins… apart from my bank account =P.

I’m taking some time to relax but will pick up development after my last day (three weeks from now). I’ve been thinking a lot about Shock and I’ve solved a number of things in my head so it will be full steam ahead once development starts. I’m really looking forward to seeing some milestones.

Progress, Decisions and Optimism

Posted in Development, Shock, Twisted Pair with tags , , , on 2010/12/27 by Adam Griffiths

Work on Shock has been slow but good. I’m developing the engine toward an actual game, rather than hammering out a perfect framework first. Just to be clear, I am writing good code that will be in the engine for a long time. What I’m not doing is writing code that I don’t need yet. A mistake I made with my last game framework (unreleased). I’m currently scavenging code and ideas from it for Shock, which is far superior.

It’s incredibly exciting to see all of these concepts, ideas and designs come to life. I’ve had the Shock engine in my head for over 5 years now and I’ve been constantly refining it as I learn more and more about better programming practice and new programming methodologies. Shock isn’t really anything new, it’s more that it is a single implementation of the best ideas I’ve come across in that time.

New…ish Logo

Posted in Twisted Pair with tags on 2010/10/26 by Adam Griffiths

We’ve got a new logo! ……ok.. it’s not a new logo, I just lost the font and had to pick a new one that was similar. I wanted to tweak the “Development” font colour, it looked very… programmer art-y… before.

Regardless, at least I know this font is in the public domain. The font is “MoanHand” from JoeBob.

Pingoo!

Posted in Development with tags on 2009/04/22 by Adam Griffiths

Pingoo is a tool I’ve written to let me easily monitor the status of computers on the network. For me specifically, their stability.
Pingoo simply pings the targets you specify and returns the result as a background colour behind the targets name.
Simple, unobtrusive and convenient.
No more command prompts all over your desktop or overly complex third party ping tools.
I’ve got some minor fixes to make to the UI before I release it and I’ve got to find some place to host the binary.
