Hooray! Video finished today. Put onto 3 VCDs and 3 DVDs (2 of each she keeps, the remainder are our copies), plus an interactive CD-ROM thrown in for the client, who, as I write, is being taken to KL Airport for her flight back to the east coast. I'm going to try and stick a portion of it online as part of my CV. Wonder how long that will be?

There will be more to come, slight changes here and there, but since the invoices went with the discs, it practically means the job is done. So there, my first proper stint at video editing. And I've come to acknowledge that it is an awful job. Very draining, very stressful. Right now, if I so much as come within 5 feet of an editing machine, I'll break out in a cold sweat and undergo a panic attack!

I'm off home now for some much needed rest and relaxation. Oh, and I skipped lunch. I fancy a KFC, some real poison that is. Hunger can be a dangerous thing...

Using Beebasm for BBC Basic games programming (Mac & Windows)

In August 2021, I released Androidz Redux , a remastered version of my 1994 game Androidz . This process started a year ago, with a couple of days spent playing around with the original code, far away from a real BBC computer. The original game was published in a magazine called Acorn Computing, and has been available to play online for a number of years now. Because I wrote the game on an actual BBC Micro, I used what tools I had at the time, namely some graph paper to create the graphics, and the computer itself to do the actual coding. This is a world away from the tools we now have at our disposal. Fully rounded IDE's such as Visual Studio Code (my current favourite) make it an awful lot easier to program games. Even editors such as Notepad++ offers some ability to edit BBC Basic code. One of the difficulties with editing old games on modern systems is ensuring that you are able to ensure that the BASIC code is properly tokenised before running on an emulator/system, and indee

Blogger for Word and DirectNIC

Now I can use Word to make blogger.com postings. This post was done using it. Glad to see that my office installation of Word works properly with it. I think now that my personal website has settled down nicely. The only major downtime for which I had to make workarounds was DirectNIC ’s hosting of one of my work sites. Hurricane Katrina brought New Orleans practically underwater, taking down some of their infrastructure. I did say things were coming back to normal, which is somewhat optimistic, as the Mayor of New Orleans has ordered everybody to leave the city, as it is in no habitable condition. In fact, DirectNIC have been keeping their servers on with diesel generators, and some of their team have been holed up in the building during the whole event. Their blog has been reported widely in the media, since apart from their postings, they have had photos, and live camera feeds showing how things really are from the center of the city. Btw, I’ve moved the worksite back to them now, f

Polymer Picker v1.10 released

Polymer Picker v1.10 introduces a new adversary - Jellyfish Polymer Picker v1.10 has been formally released. The original v1.00 has been replaced with the newer one, so you don't need to amend any URLs to play the latest edition. Making this game has been quite the journey these last 2 years. The recent additions to the game were performed over the spring and summer of 2023, and represent what I consider to be final additions to the game, to enhance the level of gameplay to something a little more challenging. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I have enjoyed creating it, and thanks to members of the Stardot community for their invaluable assistance in making this possible.
