Daily progress blogging
It’s 2010 now, and I looking back at 2009, I feel like I didn’t accomplish enough in game development. So, for 2010, I’m resolving to do something productive game development related every day, and blog about it. The rule is, I need to have produced some text, image, code, 3d model, or something like that. [...] Continue reading

Editing
Map editor is now ready for use, a little cumbersome, featureless but ready nonetheless.
So I’ve made a small test scene, not quite happy with the lighting, undecided if the game should be more zoomed out or stay up close as it is.
At any rate this now means I’m ready to start working on the game/engine.
Keep [...] Continue reading

Downtime Warning!
Hello all. It seems we are ending the year with a bang, and hopefully not a bad one, as the server undergoes an OS upgrade tomorrow (December 31st) at 9AM PST. That’s 12PM EST, and whatever it is wherever else. This procedure should only take 1-2 hours of downtime, but the reason I chose to have it right in the middle of the day rather than an off-time is that it could also really badly break a lot of things. I want to be available and ready to fix them all (or tell the smart people to fix them). This is a really major procedure that is very scary, so let’s hope the site survives it! No, it’s not adding anything new or interesting that you will notice. It’d be nice if it sped the site up a bit or something, but I wouldn’t expect that either. It’s just a necessary thing to keep up with the times. And then it’s a new year full of new surprises and an actual newsletter every month and actual games being released and actual t-shirts.
Hamumu.com will be down for up to 2 hours at 9AM PST on December 31st for an upgrade! Continue reading

How to run your Xcode universal binary under Rosetta on an Intel Mac
Here’s the trick. First, build your universal binary, let’s say under Debug mode. Then from a terminal …
cd build/Debug
/usr/bin/arch -arch ppc MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp
This will launch your app using the Rosetta PPC emulator. This way you can test your Universal binaries from an i386 system
I’m doing it this way, because for some [...] Continue reading

Another Port
Well, I can relax now.
I have the results back from the Samsung contest, but I can’t say how that went … yet. There’s supposed to be a proper winners announcement deal on SamsungApps Thursday, so if I have anything to add, I’ll do it then.
So that’s one thing off my mind.
