Today, I made my 1,000th commit to my SVN server. It wasn't much of a change, reversing a commit that turned debugging on for one of my websites, but it's a milestone nonetheless.

Building up to this, I did a lot of work with the applications and libraries that currently exist on the SVN. Here's a brief summary of what I've done recently:

LibWowArmory got an ItemTooltip class added to it, only a demo application remains before I release version 0.3.

Constellation and Cent both got their libraries in the /lib directory of the SVN, allowing me to develop these applications anywhere, not just at home.

Six Minutes To Release had a ton of work done on it, including the addition of LibMinifier, my JavaScript and CSS minification/combination/compression library. I also replaced WZ Tooltip with jQuery Tooltip, continuing my move towards jQuery on the Six Minutes website.

For now, I will continue to focus on the Six Minutes website, as there are a lot of guild issues that require me to do a lot of coding. After that, however, Gate will be the focus, as I want to get a copy of that up and running before Google shuts down Blogger FTP on May 1st. Granted, I have a backup plan if I don't succeed in that goal, but I'm hoping I can get something quick done by then.

Cleaning Up Code
Posted: 5:54:00 PM 0 comments

I took some time today to update some libraries in my source code, which is affecting a bunch of my projects. Cent, which runs off of CrystalSpace, is getting a makeover of sorts, as I am switching it over from the traditional CrystalSpace build process of linked libs and using DLLs instead. The process is quite nontrivial, as I am finding that I have to modify the Visual Studio solutions a bit to get things working as I need them to.

The biggest issue I'm coming across is trying to get the plugins into the same directory as Cent.exe so that I don't have to carry around a CSPath environment variable. I thought just adding it as a reference would copy it over, but it's not. I'm sure I can resolve this, but I just ran out of time today.

The other fun makeover I'll need to do involves Constellation, my Planarity clone. It runs off SDL, which, along with a slew of other libraries, are in a bunch of directories outside of my SVN directory. I'm going to try to get those all together and get a functional build of both Cent and Constellation before I continue working on any of the code in there.

Once I'm done, it's back to Six Minutes. I have a LOT of cool stuff planned over there, and a lot of coding to do to get it done. With some extra spare time the last week or so, I'm trying to knock out things that I've been wanting to do for a while but just haven't had the chance. We'll see how far this goes.

Another Update
Posted: 12:05:00 AM 0 comments

Not too much going on right now. I've taken on another project that should be picking up really soon which will probably take up a lot of my time. In the meantime, I've stopped work on everything else to work on a game in C++ using SDL and OpenGL... goodness, the horizons I'm expanding with this project... which should be relatively done within the month. I'm having a lot of fun coding this one... it's a simple point and click game, and I've been challenging myself to use things I haven't touched yet, such as operator overloading, templates, vectors, and other simple concepts. At the same time, it's a fun game to play, so most of my time has been actually playing it. Yes, I have a working alpha, so it shouldn't be long before I wrap this one up.

I have a trip to Las Vegas coming up. I've studied up on my Blackjack game and will cram some more on the plane so I get my hits, splits, and surrenders down pat. I've had some good trips and I've had some bad trips, so it'll be interesting, if not fun, to see how I do this time around.
