    • You barbarians! I'll sue the council for every penny it's got! I'l have you hung, drawn, and quartered! And whipped! And boiled...until...until...until you've had enough. And then I will do it again! And when I've finished I will take all the little bits, and I will JUMP on them! And I will carry on jumping on them until I get blisters, or I can think of anything even more unpleasant to do...

Lua-fu

Posted by Brandorf on August 19th, 2009

When it comes to programming projects, I can be a bit schizophrenic.  I can be right in the middle of working on a project, when all of a sudden I drop everything and start another project.  In this case it’s just a simple WOW addon, but I’d been meaning to learn Lua programming, so it was a win-win for me.

You can see the fruits of my labor on curse.com, which I must say, is a very well done project site with its corresponding curseforge.com.  I was very impressed with how quick and easy it ended up being.

Drafted, or a voulenteer?

Well, my friend Ari, despite going for his masters, apparently has the spare time to go out and do more work on the side, how’s that for dedication?  (Instructors, I don’t think you are giving him enough homework.)  At any rate, his enthusiasm is contagious, and has me now pledging a portion of my free time to work on an open sourced game. 0 A.D. I’m quite impressed with what this game has accomplished so far, it reminds me very much of Age of Mythology or Age of Empires, two of my favorite RTS games to date.

After talking with their lead programmer I’ve been accepted into the team, it’s been a trip getting my head around a project of this size (and it is HUGE).  I hope to make some solid contributions to the project over time.
