I’ve decided to copy my friend Rory and write about the project I will be completing next year. I don’t really know much about the requirements for my project yet, I have a meeting with my supervisor next week after my last exam, so hopefully will find out more then. I did have an initial meeting about a month ago to discuss whether or not I’d be a suitable candidate for the project, so I managed to find out a little about what my supervisor expects then.

I was told straight-up that my supervisor has absolutely no idea how to do this project, which makes the project that little bit harder, I kind of like the idea of being left to it though, I mean he will obviously be able to help me on specific details if I get really stuck on how to do something – but I think I’m going to be left on working out what actually needs to be done before I can even worry about how the hell I’m supposed to implement this, which I like the thought of.

I was also told that the project description was very loose and can be taken anywhere provided it meets basic functionality, which is simply: “8 connected devices operating together, calibration tool so one device isn’t overly sensitive compared to the others”. It doesn’t specify what devices are required and what I can use, so this means I can implement smart-phone support, PS3 controller support, Xbox 360 controller support, Wiimote support (which I’m particularly looking forward to), and I guess if I *really* wanted to, I could give the kinect ago, but I sort of want my project to work so I’ll probably leave that out.

Recently I’ve just had a couple of large pieces of coursework submitted, and I’ve currently got exams to revise for, so naturally I procrastinated to such an extend I decided to freshen up my blog by redesigning it, and this is it! I decided that I wanted to be colourful this time, so I was. It served as the ultimate procrastination and was much better than revising about something generic and geeky.

So, this is my new blog. On it you will *eventually* find photos of where I’ve been travelling and little snaps of my life, information about myself, some projects I am/have been working on.

I also want tutorials on my blog this time. Tutorials are cool, not to mention they kind of half motivate me to try out new things. This one set of tutorials I want to do is RTS agents with basic path finding in OpenGL. We’ll see how things go on that given I don’t have much time to do anything in life at the moment anyway. We’ll see how things go.
