This is a follow-up from a promise that I made in my tutorial video on designing an asset manager using SFML. That video can be found here. This tutorial is centred around PhysFS++, a C++ wrapper for PhysicsFS. For the sake of the tutorial, it’s assumed that the reader is familiar with PhysicsFS and what it’s capable of. Described here is a workflow for simple use of the library. Anything more discrete is beyond the scope and will have to be ascertained by the reader on their own accord. Lastly of note, PhysFS++ encapsulates PhysicsFS calls in a PhysFS namespace.…

Clicky Game – Development Journal 0001
Because I have no life, and because I really suck at having good ideas, the concept of Clicky Game was born. Now ordinarily I wouldn’t bat two shits at this thing after having written something like that, but I wanted to use this as an opportunity to really dig deep back into C++ and use some of the features in C++11. I just want an excuse to use lambdas liberally. 🙂 I’m doing a few interesting things with this project. First of all, I’m writing it in Visual Studio. Yes, I know, blasphemy. The reason for this though is because…
Projekt Vagabond Isn’t Dead. I Swear.
I’m starting to get back to a point where I can start working on this thing again and it’s like flipping through a kindergarten yearbook. Every now and then I’ll find something that makes me think I had a stroke of genius. Other times it’s like seeing a photo of that one kid you hated more than bees. Like you’d prefer taking nails hammered into your ears than listen to that twat for a single second more than you had to. Tonight I had more of the latter instead of the former. This thing has taken several forms starting out…
Starting the SFML Journey with Fedora
I am a Fedora Fanboy. I love the distro. I will always recommend it to everyone. Despite that love, it seems like we have to cater our minds to how Fedora wants to do things. And believe me, it does things very differently when compared against Debian or any of its common derivatives. One major point of contention early on was getting used to how differently Apache works on Fedora opposed to Ubuntu. I actually prefer using Apache deployed on Ubuntu than I do Fedora. I fucking hate administering Apache on Fedora systems. That being said, I wanted to take…
Developer’s Notes 0001 – Revisiting Box2D (Start)
This is an excerpt taken from my OneNote page regarding Box2D. If anything, it shows that I took a lengthy hiatus from this library and I wanted to get back into using it. However I hit the same wall I hit before which was determining a sane pixel-to-meter scalar which is required for a proper implementation. Also, it clearly outlines that I’m not a physicist in any way and that I write in a very wordy manner. Something that I’ve always had trouble with regarding the usage of this library is the scalar for pixels-to-meters. The official notes from…
