For my computer graphics course, I have to submit all my projects using C++, compiled using g++ and a Makefile.

If you don’t know what a Makefile is, it’s basically a list of steps/depencies to get to the final product. For example, to end up with DogSimulator.exe, you will need to run g++ on DogSimulator.o and Dog.o (compiled objects). And the prerequisites to DogSimulator.o and Dog.o are DogSimulator.cpp and Dog.cpp respectively.

It’s not too hard in the terminal, because once you have all your files in the terminal, you just type “make” and the magic ensues. But I’m a snob for my Visual Studio IDE, so I am going to set it up there. Haha.

Fall 2016 semester is starting up, and now I got to figure out what my priorities are. Here are my current goals and projects that I am working towards reaching/completing.

Cargo Bay 5, Sink Lab Games

This project is dear and close to my heart. It is my first indie game that a group of us worked on together outside of the classroom. I really want to get this released, but everything else has been getting in the way. (Unity C#)

Use of Police Force Simulation, University of New Orleans

A Master’s Thesis project I am working on. We will use Artificial Intelligence Planner to create an intelligient simulation of an Officer dealing with a situation between mother and adult son who will not move out. (Unity C#)

Covered today: 2D Sprites and Sprite Sheets, Animations, Movement

So today I decided to work on the prototype for Cargo Bay 5 just so our team can start to get the “feel” for what we are talking about. I got a 2D character animated and moving across the screen for my first official episode of my Season/Shelf 05 streams.

Hey everyone, today is the first day I tell myself, I will spend at least 10 minutes to write a blog entry a few times a week. Some may be content packed, but some may be like this… bare! Summer 2016 is packed for me, here are the things I’ll be doing: Work with SinkLab Games First Thesis class at University of New Orleans Full-time employee at University of New Orleans Write the other 14 weeks of Honest Abe Post-Mortem Perhaps even polish Honest Abe so that it can be released on Apple ios!

So it was decided! Honest Abe is the game, Unity is going to be our platform, and git is going to be our version control! 

So today was all about the Game Pitches and Assigning Roles. Here is my game pitch and the winning game pitch, Honest Abe! H20 Wars Pitch Honest Abe Pitch (WINNER!) My two roles: Artist and Developer!

I have decided to go back in time and write a series of Post-Mortem blog entries. I’ll try to cover interesting areas, discoveries, and problems we faced along the way. So here we are, a group of 10 Computer Science Students meeting in Mathematics Building 118 at 3:00 PM on Monday January 11, 2016 at the University of New Orleans. We go over the syllabus, and our teacher explains what this class (Syllabus Here) will simulate a Game Development Company.

Introduction This tutorial will show you how to create a simple theme in Hugo. I assume that you are familiar with HTML, the bash command line, and that you are comfortable using Markdown to format content. I’ll explain how Hugo uses templates and how you can organize your templates to create a theme. I won’t cover using CSS to style your theme. We’ll start with creating a new site with a very basic template.

Dear Blog, What!? 3.5 years later! Where did the time go!? Man… I blink and I’m in what seems to be another galaxy. Too much to talk about, so I’m going to skip all of it. Well, almost all of it. Colleen and I got married April 6, 2013. It was an awesome wedding and I got a great partner! So now… I’m still someone who wants to make games. I’m still someone who hasn’t made a game.

One of my favorite PC Games was Cannon Fodder. The mixture between a point-and-click adventure game and top-down action game was a home run in my eyes.
