I'm working on a simple battle-bots type game to help me develop a scripting system for a much larger project I've been dreaming up over the past few years. My main focus here is to build a fast & robust script engine that can run several hundred scripts while not becoming a bottleneck in a 3d R...

Oh, forgot from the OP that you use a 1.4x... I'm used to my 2.0x and defaulted to F/8.

F/8

lol.... maybe it's just that we're sooooooo active on this forum.....

Well, a few days later we say hello back.

I'm never the first one w/ such things.... today is Turkey Day... right?

I just slept for more than 16 hours straight... so I'm not really sure what day it is or who I am just yet... regardless: have a happy Thanksgiving!

Overall, I could probably pass... definitely would have failed history... and Kansas geography (DK says Kansas isn't even real!)

2. A boat is a hole in the water surrounded by wood into which you pour money. This one's fiberglass, so maybe there'll be less money pouring. Though I'm already out to have many of the lines replaced before I drop it in the water. (shrouds are fraying along with the main halyard) <-- LOOK! I'm lea...

Turn into the wind, drop sail..... and dig out the oars. :-P Actually I found someone who knows sailing and there's a local sailboat dealer that I'm going to see tomorrow to get all my sailboat questions answered. ;) (I have lots of maintenance questions.) Oh, and since it was raining when we got ho...

I'm Trouble (<-- w/ a capital T ). I found a nice book with plenty of pictures and LOTS of drills that I can do before I even put it in the water. Maybe that will help before I throw it in a lake and see how it floats.

Pics to come when I take delivery, but I won a 1970 O'Day 17' Daysailer at auction. It'll take quite a bit of cleaning and maybe a repainting, but at $400 for a boat & trailer I feel it was worth it. In all honesty I wasn't expecting to win it. In decent shape it's worth $1200-1500, but I don't ...

Now I'm sounding like my indecisive old self, but I'm picking this project up again w/ Gambit's suggestion of doing it in 2d. It's a completely different vision, but same kind of mix of physics and engineering. What made me want to come back to this project was that I came up with an idea on how to ...

I'm putting this project on hold because it is too big with everything else I have on my plate. Good news is that I'm working on the details of a 2d economy-type RTS in the spirit of The Settlers or ANNO series. I'll make another post about the RTS once I've made some "progress"... whateve...

(BTW I love games like The Incredible Machine, so the basic idea's been done and can be successful.) I loved The Incredible Machine, except this would be kind like "The Incredible Machine In 3d With the Ability to Make Parts". Maybe make some "storyboard" type sketches of what y...

I'm currently working on a little 3d Rubik's cube game as an intro to working with XNA, but I'm plotting something much bigger for my next programming venture. I know physics based games are one of the big current fads of the day, but I've been wanting to do something more engineering oriented long ...
