Serving Musings On Game Development and Play. Source Control For The Hobbyist Developer. I've been working on an XNA. Firstly, what is source control?

Serving Musings On Game Development and Play. Getting Diablo 2 Working Under Dual-Core Vista x64. The problem I encountered was one of massive framerate drops on a pretty regular basis. Not only was the framerate pretty poor to begin with, but it seemed to periodically encounter particularly long frames, drop to near nothing, and then quickly catch back up again, causing everything to zoom by at a stupid-high speed. Diablo 2 Shortcut Compatibility Settings. I'm not sure why Diablo 2 chokes so stupendousl...

http://dynamitochondria.blogspot.com/2011/11/running-start.html
Down to the Subcellular Level. Tuesday, November 1, 2011. Hi and welcome to my new blog home. New URL, new title, same old challenge to myself to write more often. The old blog. Will stay open as an archive. Go. I'm kicking off the new digs with my Nanowrimo. Project, World War 2.1. In no deliberate order, connected by hypertext links by topical cross-reference.

Serving Musings On Game Development and Play. Objects, Components, and Entities, Oh My! A new post at last, and it’s that rarest of rare beasts, a programming post!
