roncli.com blog: June 2005

Ack. My 28th birthday has snuck up on me. Another year down, not too much accomplished other than the launch of OSMusic. Hopefully I'll get some more motivation to do stuff this year.

AM Browser

New name, same great freeware.

Crazy Browser has changed its name to AM Browser. No idea why, I kinda liked the old name and the new name is, well, lame. But it still is excellent software, currently on 2.0 RC2. Highly recommended for those who like IE, but are frustrated with its lack of a good popup blocker, or missing tabbed browsing support.

Back to Cent
Posted: 6:45:00 PM 0 comments

I decided to work a bit on Cent again. It's amazing that with all the time I took off, I was able to look at the code and not go, "Huh?" Perhaps more amazing was the fact that I upgraded to the latest Crystal Space CVS, compiled it, and made it through all the errors in my code that occurred due to the change in the way the event handler works. All without asking for help. There's hope for me yet.

Anyway, did more file I/O stuff, corrected some pretty bad errors, learned the difference between memcpy and strncpy, and actually made pilot functionality working well now. You can add and remove pilots, and the system will save them, knowing which one was your last pilot selected so it'll use it when it's game time. Which is still far off. But I figure if I can put a solid config in first, I'll be able to focus on the details of the game later.
