Firefox 4 Beta 11 is awesome

admin — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 02:56:02 +0000

Still using Firefox 3.6? I’ve been using FF4 since beta 10, and I must say, it’s very nice. The latest beta is so awesome, that I’ve been using it as my primary browser. If you haven’t switched, I encourage you to do so!

Another update: New tools almost finished.

admin — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 02:19:16 +0000

Just another quick update. I’ve finished the tool building API, and have moved on to building actual tools.

I’m going to avoid giving another optimistic delivery date, but I’ll be surprised if there aren’t lots of goodies ready for download by Christmas.

Until then, happy programming!

Update: New tools coming along nicely.

Just a quick update. I promised some new tools and documentation a few months back, and they are coming along nicely. My timeline was overly optimistic, though. Expect to see them in early June!

GMP is getting new tools, docs

admin — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:01:42 +0000

Here’s the low-down: GMP development took a back seat in the last half of 2009. The truth is, I joined a great company back in June and got too busy to work on the engine. Work is now in balance, and I’ve been back digging at the internals of the engine, my games, tools, and, of course, documentation.

I’m always tinkering with my own little game clones, but lately I’ve been interested in creating some nice little DHTML WYSIWYG tools to help with game development.

As well, a few people have let me know that while the current documentation is useful, I need to add more tutorials and templates. (Thanks to all for the ~~kick in the butt~~ encouragement).

Well, it’s happening. I am listening. I’ll have some good stuff posted on the site in the next 4-8 weeks. If you haven’t already, grab the RSS feed for the site, or sign up to the GMP google group to get an update when I post the new code and documentation.

GMP API docs got a facelift

admin — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 06:00:03 +0000

The GMP API documentation pages got a small facelift, and you can now expand and collapse variable and method definitions with a quick click.

Simply click the variable/method title bar to toggle to the view of the single item, or click the expand/collapse links to apply the change to all items in the section.

This this should make the API a little easier to read. Enjoy!

GMP upgraded to version 1.7.3

GMP has been been upgraded to version 1.7.3, and is available now on the downloads page.

This new release adds the G.deleteGob method. Thanks to Ray for noticing that the method was missing! New documentation for the method has been added to the API documentation as well.

Enjoy!

GogoMakePlay Has A New Look

admin — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 22:15:52 +0000

This site has had several major redesigns over the last few years, and darn it if I didn’t feel nostalgic for the dark backgrounds of yore.

Truth be told, games look better against the black background, and I just can’t resist a little web work. Hope you like it!

New Sprites For Galaxoid

admin — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 00:46:58 +0000

After updating Puckerball with new graphics, I decided to give Galaxoid some new sprites.

The old look was flying saucers. The new look is more pixelated like space invaders.

Hope you like it!
