Playing by the rules(?)

Personal Project

For the last few days I’ve been relatively quiet.  This is, in part, because I have been watching NHKWorld and revising my knowledge of nuclear power (I prefer to be informed; and it’s not as if the overview is terribly difficult).

The other reason for my relative silence is work on a personal project.  Now, I’m no notch — though I’m sure we all wish they thought up Minecraft.  No, I’m working on a project I’ve kicked around for years.

Having secured myself a licence for a royalty-free game engine, I’m now exploring its power to bring my dream into reality.  (SFML, SDL, and Allegra all ultimately annoyed me more than they were worth, so even though this is closed-source, I still intend to keep bits and pieces open, at least to modders.)

More of this will no doubt come out later, and the people who need to know (or I want to know, at this stage), already do.
