Bob's packed programming page

20th of Feburary 2003

Although it seems I've been neglecting my site recently, it's not really so!

I've updated my code snippets page

I've also added a link to Allegro as a project, now that I'm leading the development of the Allegro 5 graphics API.

I'm also working on FBlend, and might actually release something by next week (I hope!).

I also need to write a page for Zasx II at some point. Maybe I'll do that next week.

Updated the code snippets page. Bug fixes, more algorithms and better descriptions.

So I haven't updated this site in 6 months, big deal :)

I spent my summer at NVidia as a GPU architect. I was working on "OpenGL API Capture and Playback". They kept me busy, and that's part of the reason why there were no updates.

I've put up a page with some useful code snipets

I've also been doing some work on Allegro, preparing a new masked_blit patch and building the graphics API for v5. Hopefully, I'll get more time to actually implement that API!

FBlend is still being worked on. I just need to finish up the changes to the trans blender and then I'll make a release.

I'm progressively converting this site to use HTMLex by David A. Capello. HTMLex is a great HTML scripting program. Not quite as powerful as PHP or ASP, but it's good enough for me :)


4th of March, 2002

Woah! Haven't updated the site in over a month!
So what have been doing lately? Mainly studying - I have a heavy semester this time around, so I don't have much time to code (and even less to update this site :(

I finally got that subtract-saturate blender working in FBlend. It was a little trickyer than I thought. Now I just need to update the assembly code to reflect the new (working) algorithm...

I'm also in the process of updating Zasx to C++ just for fun. I'm using STL and inheritence and that stuff everyone's been talking about. STL is quite nice; someone should port it to C :-)

Well, it looks like Allegro.cc had a face lift! Matthew conviently converted everything to PHP, so it can be easier for him to add new features to the site. Yay!

I know, there have been problems with 2xSaI on the new Allegro - you'll need to change the line
#include "allegro/aintern.h"
to
#include "allegro/internal/aintern.h"
to make it work again. I really should update the package to make use of all those neat tricks I learnt while making FBlend :P

D.U.M.B. v0.7 has been released! Currently, DUMB can load and play Impulse Tracker (.it) files with ever better quality than MikMod (used in Winamp). Basic S3M support is also there. XM and MOD to be added Soon(tm).

Sorry, but there are no updates to the site. I'm really busy with school work lately :-(

Oh yeah, I also went on a small trip to San Jose and Seatle, courtesy of some nice companies.

It looks like Excite@Home went bankrupt while I was gone. I knew I was a good custommer, but they just can't depend on me this way :-)
