RE: What Are You Reading?
Cancer Ward by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Not the kind of thing I usually read but I figured I should broaden my horizons.

Another book.

Once a master of nothing, now a noob to pretty much everything.
Hiatus resolved. I stalk these hallways again.

RE: What Are You Reading?
Im mainly reading A dance with dragons. Still hadn't finished lol.

Also reading:
1)C++ Dynestified. Finished it. Making a roguelike game right now.
2) Introduction to SDL. Tying to learn how to add graphics into my games.
3) Calculus A/B baron
4)Plasma physics dymestified
5) and eventually a book on object oriented programming with C++. I hear that's when the real coding fun begins!
I like learning Smile

RE: What Are You Reading?
I'm sitting on a half finished roguelike myself that I'd half forgotten about. Now that you've reminded me, maybe I'll try to work up the motivation to finish it! Thanks! Smile And good luck with your C++ studies, by the way. Also, there are two SDL libraries I've found useful for roguelike development: libfov and SDL-ASCII-Template.

If you don't get my jokes, it's because of Postmodernism.

Yeah, roguelikes are awesome. I used to want to make one (I still sort of do), but it was just too hard for me. I kind of lost my love for the genre after that :/

Those are very useful actually. Thanks.

Right now I'm working on the random generator shenanigans such as enemy movement. I also I'm trying to port what I have to a SDL library instead of a shitty looking counsel game (which is why I'm reading SDL books).

I should have an alpha by summer so maybe I will post a free link then Tongue

Just do a step at a time
Here's how I'm doing it
1) made a moving character and a user created map. Done all in a counsel
2) made traps and treasure
3) added items
4) enemy function
5) enemy AI (I got it but its doesn't work well)
6) player skills (so you can actually kill stuff)
7)NPCS
8) then SDL for graphics.
I'm on step 6-5. I got the core movement down but not the actual game elements in.
A big part of development is to do little by little. Always start with putting in random ideas in a counsel window is what I've learned from my experience.
