Last weekend I holed myself away at James‘ place and spent the entire weekend working on the Fortunes prototype. Its gotten a little bit more work since then and this is what it looks like currently. Sadly I couldn’t get my video capture working and the stills don’t show off terribly much yet, as there [...]

Slow progress this week I’ve had multiple family events, a wedding and a rehearsal dinner distracting me this week, and getting the logistics involved for both. That combined with the fact that networking is a bit of a weak-point of mine, lead to a little bit of a drudge since last time. MYSQL woes Trying [...]

So I’ve read woot commstoday and they mentioned 5 great reasons to start a developer diary. My favorite of these are staying sane, and feedback. In the past I’ve written slightly more but about more broad general things, the industry and concepts instead of concrete things like what I’m working on. I think that, in [...]

So I want to talk a little bit about why I’m here. Maybe we can get James to talk about his reasoning later. I want to create interesting worlds World building has been a past time of mine before I even knew the term for it. When I was young often in play I would [...]

Lots of stuff has happened since last post. First of all we found out in addition to registering our business with the state of Georgia we also needed to apply for an Atlanta Business License. That was an adventure in beuracracy itself. Maybe Jame’s will use his writing skills to regale you with the details [...]

So I’ve managed to get taking screenshots from the phone itself worked out instead of just capping my whole screen in the emulator. I’ve got all the necessary extra screens working for the most part but decided to share screen shots before moving on to the final one. Some of the screens are still need [...]

I’ve been working on a real graphical interface for our current game and dealing with some quirks of android in the way of things I’m trying to do. I meant to put up some screenshots a week or two ago but need to borrow a camera or find a way to do screenshots on the [...]

So Despite labeling the last screenshot post screenshot Saturday, there was no updated screenshot this past weekend. Unfortunately there wasn’t much graphically different between the two days. In addition to the coding work on this project, I’m trying to design this site to make it look better, and working a full time job to boot. [...]
