Blog Update
I wanted to re-assure you that my blog won't be focused EXCLUSIVELY on programming, the vast majority of my posts are going to be around that subject but I might sometime write tidbits of text about this or that.Upcoming Project
Since the last few days, I have been looking for a project in which I could submerge myself and work on in my spare time. I am still searching but I am getting closer to having an idea in mind. I've wanted to program a game for a long time now, not a good one or anything remotely revolutionizing but something that I could do that would strengthen my grip on my programming language. I tried a messing around with a console interface but I couldn't bring myself to making anything else than a very boring text scroller without any semblance of combat and adventure.
So from this day on, I am leaving the world of console game programming and moving on to 2D graphical game programming. I was thinking along the lines of one of these two screens:
The big panel in the middle of the second image and covering the whole window is where the game will take place.
My idea of the game is that it is going to be a 2D top down RPG, much like Lufia or Golden Sun and the likes. I would draw the sprites, make the music and the "animations". The biggest challenge to my mind right now will be to program the engine of the game and make it as easy to re-use as possible. With my little experience in the domain I expect this to be quite a challenge.
Feel free to check my gallery of pictures related to the project here. Not much right now but I will update it as I make progress.
