Once again I have taken a new turn my quest to create computer games. For Christmas this year I have received a new game engine. Don't know what that it? Don't worry about it. Short version would be that it is a tool used to help create games. Most (if not all) of the large game producers create their own game engine for each large scale release they do. Lacking those funds, man power, time, and everything else that is needed to create such a tool, I have turned to third party tools. The free ones just weren't cutting it for me. Then came jolly old St. Nick with a piece of saving glory. I won't go into details (don't wanna give away trade secrets after all), but my new toy seems so far to be exactly what I needed.
Along with this shining ray of light though is a dark patch. I am not forced to switch languages, but the amount of support for my current language of choice is so minimal that I am choosing to pick up a second (or third, or fourth) language. It is one of the parents of my current work language (C#) and it is one that I have had encounters with in the past. It is non other than C++. I keep trying to jump ahead to the new great things in the industry to separate myself from the others, but keep getting pulled back. I almost wish there were only one programming language and everyone used it and loved it. I suppose in that world though it would be damn near impossible to separate ones self from the competition. Bummer. I suppose I will just have to continue learning every programming language known to man.
I don't know what exactly is going to happen on the website. I foresee a rather sizable dry spell till I get something worth putting on there, but as soon as I can find something worth of sharing with the world, you can believe it will appear! Till then, Enjoy!
