Well, 31/01/13 is here, and that is the end of January! I’m sure I mentioned previously, but I intend on taking part in One Game a Month. I’ve completed my first game of the year! I recreated Breakout/BrickBreaker/BlockBreaker whatever you want to call it. The game is fully playable on a windows machine, powered by [...]
I officially graduated just over 6 months ago with a First Class Honours degree in Computer Science from the University of Hull. Since then I’ve been working as a Software Developer using C# just about every day. I knew the language pretty well whilst still studying, but since leaving and migrating to a real job, [...]
No exams, no excuses. I haven’t updated my blog for absolutely ages, and I have no excuses, except that job thing I have…). I’ve finally created a Portfolio page which could do with some work and some nicer images, but for now, it’ll do the job! Although I haven’t updated my blog for a while, [...]
Windows 8 is due to be released at the end of the month, but I was able to get hands on a copy for myself a little bit early. I actually discovered this by accident after pre-ordering a copy, I realised I already had access to the RTM copy, so I promptly cancelled my pre-order [...]

It’s here. Graduation is in 13 days. Results day is today…. I’m happy with that! What more can I ask for?!
It has been far too long since I last updated my blog. I can put this down to a few contributing factors, dissertation, exams and work. Good news though, I have finished my dissertation, finished all my exams and I have finally left my job as a checkout operator at a supermarket (today was my [...]
After 24 hours of solid development, we successfully created a Tower Defence game controlled by the Kinect, it was really good fun, especially when testing (although I have to confess it became a pain having to stand up and move 3ft away from the keyboard to test it, so we may have implemented mouse functionality too…). The [...]
The Three Thing Game 24hour session starts tomorrow morning, and I’m working on some map generation stuff at the moment, forests are nice if I can get the trees to order correctly. Things are going pretty well, for myself at least – I can’t get hold of any other members of the team so I’m [...]
A few days ago I wrote about Three Thing Game and the Kinect Tower Defence game we intended on making, since then, we’ve got the ball rolling a bit and some code which does things (but nothing interesting). We’ve also had the Thing Auction, where every team was given 530 credits to bid on words [...]
