Hello, Android

As an effort to rapidly learn the ins and outs of developing for Android, I have built a small App that simulates the motion tracker from the film “Aliens”.

Break The Silence

I hit a milestone in one of my personal projects, so I wanted to share! I’ve finally completed the new Background system for my homebrew Nintendo DS project. The video illustrates the end result (Streaming hardware backgrounds with multiple parallax, animated tiles and smooth scrolling), but the system itself comprises of a full tool chain for building and compiling/optimizing map data, through to better management of them at runtime!

You can download the rom and try it for yourself!

I hope to make some of this tech available as a stand alone tutorial at some point in the future, time permitting :)

LIFE!

So last update I mentioned I was busy in programming tests looking for a new job. Well, my lack of communications is mostly due to the fact I succeeded at this search and landed a job with Codemasters, working on DiRT 3!

As such, I had to relocate, and have been working through synchronizing myself with a new workplace and new codebase, hence radio silence online pertaining to any personal work. However, that should hopefully change over the coming holidays, as I’m throwing myself into completing up some old code-work that I resurrected as part of my job-hunt, and hope to have something to show (if simple) in the new years :D
