Having gone over lots of my old code and effects looking for a project to work on and get finished, I struggled to find anything I felt inspired to code. So after spending more time going over my old code archives, I came to the games I wrote back in 2002/3 and while some were pretty good, others were never finished. The code for almost all of them is by my current standard very poor, there's no OOP at all but then the language they were in didn't support it, but there's no proper structure, no functions its all a mess of gosubs which while they work are not very well thought out at all. At the time I hadn't long come back to coding from a long gap stretching back to the Amiga days, so I can forgive the bad code style a bit. Anyway to get to the point, I have decided to recode some of the games in bmax taking advantage of a lot of the new things I have learned over the years and hopefully I can create so cool retro inspired games worth playing.
I still plan to put some of my recent opengl experiments to use in a demo related effort but it can take a backseat while I attempt to get a game done first.

Time to Code again
Well I have finally cancelled my WoW account, havent actually been playing for well over a month due to RL issues but was totally bored of all the content having killed 99% of it with in the first few weeks of the expansion. Dont know at this time if I will ever go back.
So now I have lots of free time I think its about time I got back into coding and to start with I think I shall finish learning OpenGL, move onto GLSL shaders and maybe take another look at Directx stuff once I have one that.
Will continue most of my coding in bmax since its a great little language, can always use c/c++ if I feel the need but for most things bmax is just nicer for me to tinker about in.
Going to try and get a little demo scene style intro coded, been a while since anything came out of the TTD stable since myself and zawran been busy with other stuff. Probably do some cheap retro thing since I like retro effects :P
