Another box mental work-in-progress video

Had some issues (see my youtube channel) but finally have Box2D doing object seperation and collision detection for my work-in-progress indie game "Box Mental".

All I can say, is that Box2D rocks. I'll definitely be playing with the flash version for another prototype idea I've got. Next up for box mental? Well, need to update the navmesh generation so that it can handle arbitrary scenegraph nodes. Also need to add collision shapes to those various objects. Then work on some more interesting behaviours/animations. Plan on submitting to the sony compo this week too.

More soon.

Blast from the past

Oh man. This takes me back. I can't even remember why I started looking for this. But here is a link to a screamtracker mod I did back in 1994.

Plays pretty much as I remember it in VLC too!

Back then, I was heavily into the demoscene. Not that there was much of it in the UK. But I was coding my own assembler demos, tracking and all of the usual demo stuff. Man those were good times, I remember phone hacking to a site in the US that was supposedly the biggest underground BBS of the day. Me and a guy called Ben? were using bluebeep to fiddle around with Kingston Comm's phone network.

And that was 15 bloody years ago. FIFTEEN!

Damn.
