As far as what direction to go, I would suggest: this article and this article.

As far as libraries and tutorials, I would suggest Lazy Foo's SDL or Seraph's SFML tutorials for starters.[/quote]

My "Lesson" Stories
The story is based in a fictional world, that is quite similar to our own. This will not be Dragonball Z. No lasers, flying, or 5 minutes power-ups. There will be some instances of chi manipulation but nothing near the DBZ level. Nowhere close or even halfway. The names of the characters are still …

My New Year's Resolution
Accomplish the goals I set last year for myself; Not whine, not bitch, but do (or in the words of the great Yoda, "Do or not do; there is not try."); relax.

So what's yours?

A year in the good OK
Well I'm almost finished my Bachelor's degree. I've spent a year in Oklahoma far away from family and friends. I must say that it's been quite an experience. I've learned alot about myself and realize that I have alot of character changes to accomplish (ex: procrastination, oy).

After my degree, I …

OOOOOOoooooooo LISP!!!

...and decided to take my own advice. Since rediscovering the joys of programming and game programming, I dusted off my Game Maker program and gave it another whirl. It it becoming a fruitful and enlightening experience. Even in a drag and drop environment, understanding the flow of events the "cod…

6 months later and I'm back
I have the worst procrastination-itis in the world. I have 4 papers due on the 24th and I haven't started any of them yet. [flaming] I suck. I went into some sort of slump, which happens every semester. Now I can't get out of it. Anyway, hopefully I'll get enough gumption to hurry and finish. Geez…

Another Day... another tribulation
Well after 3 months (on and off) of Hung-Fot Kung-Fu training, I'm going for my basics test. My flexiblity is still horrible but hopefully I'll be able to work on that during the Christmas break. Also I got two wonderful new books: Data Strucutures for Game Programmers and Tricks of the (Actual) 3D…

Rejoining Mental and Physical Activity
As most will be able to see, I tend to use the Yin/Yang symbol. I think it's appropriate seeing that I'm taking Hung Fut Kung-Fu, a derivative of Shaolin Kung-Fu. I hope I'm able to balance, if not juggle, 15 credits, learning game programming from Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus, and …
