Coursework
posted 01 Nov 2011
I’d like to say that I’ve not been doing any game or website development in the past week because I’ve been really busy with Uni coursework, but that would be a lie. Yes I’ve spent 2 days in the past week doing coursework, but that’s really no excuse for me not doing more of it, or even doing some side-projects.
Last week I got a new graphics card so I’ve been re-playing a lot of my games with improved graphics. The jump is pretty much from Medium detail to High and Ultra detail, so I’m very happy. Photo editing might be a little easier now as well, but I didn’t really buy that card for that, although it’s how I convinced myself to get it.
My game hasn’t moved anywhere at all. I have been spending a lot of time in my maths lectures detailing what needs to be done, but I’ve not gotten round to programming my physical notes yet. I’ll maybe find some spare time to get it done, although I have 5 pieces of coursework due in the next couple of weeks, so I should probably prioritise on those.
Kongregate is also something I fritter my time away on. Lots of really nice games, and you can get achievements for the games to make it all that more addictive.
I saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show in cinema last night and really enjoyed it, was pretty much everything everyone said it was going to be. I also saw Tintin and Real Steel. Tintin was pretty good; funny throughout and worked really well. I’m still not a fan of movies that are fully Motion Captured, but I can see past it.
Real Steel was what I wanted: lovely cgi fighting robots and not much of a plot. Overall it was a fun movie, nothing fantastic but it was a bit better than I was expecting the Rock ‘Em Socl ‘Em Robots movie to be.
Well, that’s really all I’ve done in the past week.
