My Hammurabi source and binaries
Yesterday was Memorial Day, and I didn't have anything to do, so I decided to dig into the game Hammurabi.
Original BASIC Source for Hammurabi
This game was written in line number BASIC, which is what I started out on those many years ago. ("those many years ago"=="18…

I have put a kabosh on starting new projects, after coming into the knowledge that my tendency to start new things while leaving other things unfinished simply leaves in its wake a long series of unfinished things. This applies to my entire life, not just projects that I work on.
So, when one is tr…

Today, I was thinking of a couple of different things, and had an idea that melds the two.
I belong to an online writing workshop, where the members post stories/chapters or parts of stories/chapters, and give feedback to one another.
At work, when I make a change to software, I have to send it to a …

Okay, so I have a ByteAddress class, as well as ByteRegister and WordRegister classes.
Each of these has an event that can be set to call a function that gets sent a reference to the object that had the event.
Now, the event fires off when the value of the register is set. Not changed, set. If the …

Finally got to the part of my little pet project (a MC6809E virtual machine) where I needed delegates and events, so I put them in.
The first one I put in is for the VM itself. I was previously writing text to the console based on what instructions were being processed by the VM. As time went on, …

Game developers don't know the meaning of the word "rhetorical", do they?

I made this today for a coworker. It is meant to have a properly calculator-y icon, placed into the quick launch bar, and then used to bring up the calculator.
features include:
* only brings up one instance of the calculator.
* if calculator is not running, it runs it.
* if calculator is running,…

(Disclaimer: Yes, I know it is called C Sharp.)
For future job eligibility, I have finally decided to break down and learn C Pound.
My initial impressions:
Its not really all that different from most of the other language I program in.
I *DO NOT* much care for the Equals() thing.
I really like the idea …

Here it is.
I technically have placed it in Bellevue WA, which is where I am based now, but it is really for anyone in the greater Seattle area.

Things are getting more routine. I know the bus schedules, I know where things are a lot better now. My manager will be finally here today, so that's a good thing. I, however, will be doing full time interviews for another group, so I'll only have like an hour between 12:30 and 1:30 or possibly a…

Almost forgot this.
Today is February 8th, 2006.
On February 8th, 2005, I quit smoking cigarettes.
I have not relapsed.
They say that once you've reached the 6 month mark, it's pretty much a done deal.
I still don't like handling cigarettes or having them around me, even if they are in a pack, and the u…

Zip Files with PocketPC Games:
VoracityPPC ARMV4Rel

I didn't make installers. You'll need to connect to your devices with ActiveSync and put them on there manually.

This post is an addendum to two posts. First, VoracityPPC is progressing apace.
And second, with the HauteCapture utility, this is what it saves if you export a screen capture:

So, John has been working on an online version of his game Voracity
We discussed a couple of user interface and highlighting issues, and he made a few changes yesterday, all of which help the game.
Since then, I have naturally been obsessively thinking about it some more, and, deciding that the game …

Is it just me, or are web comic artists the most sickly members of the human race?

My journal is not closed, but all of the recent journal closings have caused my avatar to gouge out its own eyes.
The theory is that if you close one eye, what you are looking at is only half as stupid as it really is.
Taken to the extreme, gouge out both of your eyes, and things don't look stupid at…
