Hey there people,
Best start off by introducing myself, I'm Martin Allen a 2nd year student at Derby University studying computer games programing with a dream of becoming a games programmer.
Through this blog you'll be able to read the highs (and lows) as the 2nd year goes along and see the progress I make as a programmer
The 3 areas which I'll be working on this term are Game Development Techniques which will end up with me producing a total conversion of the Unreal Engine into a game about the famous five (you know, Timmy the dog and ginger beer...). Intro to 3D graphics which will see me carry out my first 3D programming and console development which will span the entire year and see many areas covered. I'll talk about these in more detail in separate updates
My aims for the weekend (and Monday with the 3 day weekend timetable creates) are to make a paint program using gdiplus to practise graphics skills, I've already started this and think I have the input side of the program sorted just need to add the functionality for drawing different objects, I have plans on how to do this just need to sit down and implement them.
The other piece of work I want to get done this weekend is breaking down my famous five game into manageable chunks so I can manage the project. With a well managed project might not even have a deadline rush !
Anyways that's all for now, it's late and I need some sleep. I look forward to listening to the wonderful sound of Luton match commentary while I code tomorrow afternoon, never know we might just win for once....
