Site Design Update

I've just have a quick update. I messed around with the blog design today. I tried to simplify it a little, and have less of an information overload.

I'll hopefully start updating the site with real content soon. I'll have a lot of free time over Christmas, so who knows?

Project - Fetchin' Tennis Balls - Complete

This is the first of my games made with Allegro in C++. It's a basic game where you are a dog picking up tennis ball, and after you pick it up, it appears somewhere else on the screen. Your score is shown at the top of the screen, and the dog barks every time you get ten balls. This is version 1.0, so it should be stable on Windows XP & Vista & 7. There is no victory condition though.

Pneumatic Games Homepage - Dead

I have decided to delete the original homepage, and move everything to one centralized location, this blog. I will start adding posts with the sites content soon.

C++ Primer - Delayed

It has been a while since I have posted anything. Unfortunately, I had to put aside my plans for going through the C++ Primer book. I realized I did not have the time to follow through with it. Also, a couple week ago, the library that I was borrowing the book from requested that I return the book because someone had requested it. I do not know when I will get back on track with it, or whether I will start over using the newer version of the book. My hope is that once I have gotten into my new major next semester, I will be able to focus more on programming and updating this blog. In the mean time, I may be able to start putting up reviews of games that I have played.

C++ Primer - Week 1

First off, I unfortunately underestimated how long it would take me to finish chapter 2, so I just finished it today, but I believe I will still be able to finish this week goal.

Now on to what I have learned from the 1st and 2nd chapter.

C++ Primer - Week 0

I decided a while ago that I didn't have a good enough grounding in C++, so I ended up getting a book called the 3rd edition of "C++ Primer" by Stanley B. Lippman and Josée Lajoie from a library at Purdue. It was sitting in my apartment for a while, since I had a lot going on in my life at the time, but I can have it indefinitely, as long as I remember to renewing it online.

First Post

This is my first post for my blog, so I guess I'll go over my goal for this blog.

My goal is to post my thoughts on gaming, game development, etc. I also will post news on what I have been doing to fulfill my goal in getting into the video game industry, and anything else that won't fit into a tweet.
