This is my first post. I woke up at about 8:15 AM to check the theme and realized that it didn&#8217;t really appeal to me that much. So I slept over it a couple of hours more, it&#8217;s now 11:26 AM, and I decided to toss away my high ambitions and just make<em> something<\/em> for the sake of being able to enter in this frenzy at all. So, a little board game\/RTS hybrid is my current crappy idea.<\/p>\n <p>Just made myself a cup of green tea to get me started. My tools:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>the D programming language<\/li>\n <li>SDL<\/li>\n <li>OpenGL<\/li>\n <li>a couple of homebrew classes I regularly use for game programming; vector math, font rendering, that kind of stuff. No time to post that now, but it&#8217;s online in a couple of places, so may link to it later.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>First step: read up on hex grids and implement one.<\/p>\n <p>Playing right now: De Stijl by the White Stripes to power me for the day. This is exciting, let&#8217;s get started.<\/p>","time":"April 18th, 2009 1:31 am","title":"Better late than never"}
