As power becomes more expensive, and computers push out more heat and noise I find myself looking for ways to enjoy the comforts of always-on-service without paying the heat and noise toll. In this article I … Continue reading WD MyBook Live vs Raspberry Pi as a Linux Server
Earlier this week I wrote about CryEngine listener classes in a brief overview. I intimated that they are an excellent way to write code against the CryEngine SDK and today I want to go into more depth. I briefly covered the 40 odd listeners that I was able to locate in my article Introducing CryEngine … Continue reading CryEngine 3 System Event Dispatcher
In this article I will introduce you to event handling within CryEngine 3 and give a brief overview of the many listeners you can utilise within your project. Learning the CryEngine code can be daunting at first. It's large, non-trivial and complex. Approximately 220,000 lines of C++ are provided with the CryEngine FreeSDK, and much … Continue reading Introducing CryEngine 3 Event Listeners
This tutorial will help you add new actions into CryEngine 3 FreeSDK projects without needing to make any changes to the base code provided by CryTek. Recently I went to add a new feature to my CryEngine 3 FreeSDK project. This feature needed to add new actions (camera zoom in and out), and it seemed … Continue reading Adding New Actions to CryEngine 3 FreeSDK
I've spent the better part of a week now learning about a new suite of technologies which I am interested in using to develop my TMO gaming framework. The old guard of .NET, C#, T-SQL, ASP.NET and the three tier model feel decidedly out of date. They are cumbersome, slow and bulky at a time … Continue reading Google App Engine, Go and Go-RESTful
There's a lot of confusion and disagreement about what makes for a RESTful design. The REST API Design Handbook will help you cut through the chatter and get building solid and sensible APIs, fast. It's only a few dollars from Amazon if you own a Kindle, and if you don't - well, there's always the … Continue reading The REST API Design Handbook
There's a new love in my life, and she's petite, versatile, responsive and modern - it's the language, Go. I'm still in the honeymoon stage, getting to know the ways she likes to play and the things she can do for me, but I can tell you now - it's going to be a long … Continue reading How I Learned to Love Go (Language) And Stop Worrying
