What're you all working on?

[Traveler]

PGD activity seems to be on it's back again. News has dropped to an item per week or so, new forum topics are barely made and if there are any, it only gets a reply or two. Not really sure what it is, but it does bring some thoughts to mind, I really shouldn't have.

Anyway, since you is not doing any posting, I figured something else is keeping you busy. So what is it?
A new book you really have to read? A GF thats keeping you doing stuff all day long? A cool project, the world is still not ready to know about? A game that is taking every hour of the day? Or have you gone over to the dark side, and abandoned Pascal/Delphi?

I'm trying to add to my "juggling" a small project, at this stage just a ASCII RPG, for a bit of experience in that area. I'll eventually start using SDL for graphics though.

im juggling my time between making a control panel (administrative and user) for a game server host. and physics stuff for an engine

i'm trying to find out how to make a good modular 3d engine. I guess the count of scrapped engines today is about 15. i've just completed optimizing my vector math library with handcoded sse instructions and my matrix math library is halfway sse optimized

Hi busy working on my current project http://www.cerebral-bicycle.co.uk/viewdoc.asp?doc=319. I've been implementing a event system and playback systems for a demo which I hope to release in a month or so just so I can get an idea on how it performs on other machines.

I'm hoping to get some more interesting screen shots up in a few days, the planets are nice and all that, but I know everyone want to see vipers :-)

I'm just working on my multi purpose 2D engine. Nothing specific, I just want it to be able to do the GFX (Hardware Accelerated where available or software if not), sounds and sprite managed and all the rest of it, might make future projects a bit easier.

technomage: Hey Dean, I made a sort of reply post to your Viper comment in the News thread for your BSG game.

I have been a bit busy with work and as soon as I got home I dropped dead asleep.

I am also almost finished my article, pending serveral images as a bit of finishing touches. I has proven to be a bit more work than I though. (Well it is a 14 page article after all. )

I'm currently remaking a heap of projects that I lost when my HDD died a few months ago, and trying to figure out code from old uncommented back ups.

I'm also working madly on a ton of models for {MSX}'s turn based game. And also implementing new widgets for the GUI.

It's good to see you're all still busy

My 4E4 entry is still in progress. Latest challenge is to get my head around the A* algoritm. Fortunately I found a good beginners page that does a pretty nice job of explaning the whole thing.

I am still working too hard at work I was hoping to be spending 2 to 3 hours a day now on my 4E4 entry but havn't even opened it again. I will probably be making some changes to my Run-A-War entry for the contest instead.

I have been asked to do a presentation on 'Getting your game projects finished' for the Local Game Expo (Biggest computer game expo in South Africa, includes a 700 PC lan - sold out a month before the expo). So I am spending quite some time on this also.

Also trying to complete a chess game.

Have had a nice easy idea of a game to make for my kids to play against each other. I'll probably spend some time on it over the next few days. Anyone played Highway Pursuit?

Over the last two weekends I have also planted my vegetable garden (Cauliflower, Lettuce, Pumpkin, Sweetmelon, Gen Squash and Butternut so far).

When I get home too tired to work on my games I read books instead - Over the last 2 weeks I have read 2 Disk Francis stories, 3 Robert Heinlein books and just bought another "? Rama" book from Arthur C Clarke to read this week.
