Impressed with the ipod touch

I’ve got to say this new iPod touch I’ve gone and bought is pretty bloody cool. I’m typing this post on it right now actually. It’s pretty fast for typing on and it corrects a lot of words automatically when you get things wrong.
So yes, apple, you’ve done well here. I’m getting addicted to it. It does so much. It does make me want an iPhone now though to get the gps and phone too.
I love tower defense games

I’ve just spent the last four hours playing a tower defense game, this one’s free and here’s the link: Play Warzone – Tower Defence.net, for your tower defence games
I just find them very very addictive. I’m tempted to take a quick break from the platform game engine and make a quick one myself. It’s always good to have side projects and I think this would be a good one, they’d be some nice programming functions in there too, like A* pathfinding and a lot of code using types for the different towers and enemies.
Another one I really like is Master of Defense, http://www.master-of-defense.com/ this one costsjust over $20 but is well worth it.
The only real problem I have with them is the amount of time they take up. Before you know it, it’s dark outside and you’ve been playing all afternoon. It’s like playing World of Warcraft all over again!
I’m supporting the people of Gaza
January 8, 2009 at 8:30 pm | In Uncategorized | 3 CommentsI know this is very off topic but I wanted to write this.
I just read that in the last 13 days. Over 700 palestinians have been killed, several hundred of these were children, and today, 2 aid workers were shot and killed by isreal even after being given the green light to go into the area.
This makes no sense to me. Why aren’t all the other nations condenming Isreal for this clearly random bombing of Gaza? How is it fair that a technically illegal country which Isreal is, is allowed to murder so many innocent people? The people of Gaza were there long before Isreal was and have only attacked Isreal in the past due to Isreal blockading supplies and making life very hard for people in Gaza.
Isreal is not acting proportionally to the attacks they’ve had from Gaza, they are simply murderers using the small number of Isrealis killed by rockets from Gaza as an excuses to kill hundreds, soon to be thousands of civilians in Gaza.
Two new youtube videos

Quick update on everything

Hi all,
just a quick update on everything I normally blog about:
The You Tube Blitz Basic videos are proving popular, I’m getting some good comments and have just hit the 21 subscribers mark. I’ve seen other you tube posters make little games to celebrate hitting certain numbers of subscribers, I’ll be doing this for getting to 25 I think, just need to decide what the game should be.
I’ve not been doing much at all on Fruit drop lately, it’s nearly finished though, it’s just the small details that need fixing now, such as changing from text to bitmapped fonts, which is faster. I also need to implement the high score tables and tidy up the graphics. Don’t know when I’ll have this one finished.
Other games, well I’m wanted to get started on my Action RPG title, I’m still not 100% sure what language to write this one in, I’d like to do it all in Blitz3D, but I want to be able to use it on my CV as an example game, so it might be better to do it in C++ using the allegro graphics library. I’ll make that decision once the design document’s finished.
My home life? I’m still spending all my week days away in Switzerland, which really sucks, especially as I’m trying to move into a new house with my girlfriend, due to the leaky roof problem in our current flat. Might be moving this coming weekend, will have to wait and see.
