The First Step Is...
Admitting You Have A Problem

January 25, 2012

I have at least half a dozen subprojects that I could be working on, so I stupidly started on internationalization. What a tar pit! Of course, now that I've got time invested in that, I hate to just back it all out and throw my hands up in disgust.

I did the internationalization because I was working on my GUI code and needed overlay text on all three platforms. I figured "Why not do it with wide strings and support more languages?" Sigh. I am making progress, as you can see:

There's still a bit more to do before I write this up.

However, while I was goofing off over the holidays playing indie games, I had this crazy idea "Why don't I write a video game?" You know, something simple that doesn't require any more graphics than I've already learned. So I started on that. I'm thinking of putting it together as some kind of short tutorial, since people do sometimes email me asking how to get started. We'll see.

I'm currently nibbling away at the internationalization and GUI stuff, and rewarding myself by writing more of this mini-game. I'll have something for you soon.
