Going South (working title)
Here is the title that will make me famous! Ok, probably not. But I think it's worth a gander. Not much to look at now. Still in the design phase. Design? What's that you say? Oh how little do you know. heh :)
Update: 1.12.2003
I have put this project on hold until further notice. I still like this design, it's just that school and tyring to get a job will be a main priority right now.

Here is my first game using Game Maker. Not too bad but could be a lot better. I kind of sucked on the graphic part. I guess it was a good learning experience. This was mostly completed because there were other power ups I wanted to put in and the documentation is woefully inadequate. Check it out in the Files section. Let me know what you think.

Here we were suppose to make a screen saver type of application using only 2D objects. I went with a simple bouncing stars thing. It was pretty easy. I even made a little class to handle the stars. :)
I was pleased with the outcome. Check the Files section to download it. I included the source so you too can see the behind the scenes of a simple graphics program. I believe it should only compile in Windows. Let me know if you have any problems with it.

Our second programming assignment was to make a really simple program to read in a text file that represents a maze. After loading that, the user could then wander about. There is no collision dection and movement is fairly restricted. It was a fun thing to do though. Fairly simple to do. The hardest part initially was getting the camera to point in the right way it should be.
Another stumbling point was when I was porting it to Linux, I had to find a different texture loading routine as the one I was using that was part of the AUX library was not present on the linux network at school. A little annoying to say the least as I started porting two days before it was due. That will learn me. Also look for this in the Files section. Let me know what you think. Oh yeah, to move around the maze, 'W' to move forware, 'S' to move backwards, 'A' to turn left, and 'D' to turn right.
