Sorry for the lack of top-notch mathematical formatting, but I’ve done my best to make everything still look good. 00 is an interesting case when it comes to exponents. Whilst anything to the power of 0 is 1, raising 0 to any power gives 0. So what happens when you raise 0 to the power […]
read moreAfter going from here to my other site, I’ve decided to come back to the blog format. Maybe, once I get my theme done, it’ll support slideshows and everything will be sweet. So the first one was done on 2016-10-16, next one on the same day (or maybe they were both just uploaded then?), the […]
read moreFirst of all, if you haven’t seen Crossbow Endurance, you might want to do so now. Here I’ll be dealing with the second version of this… unique video: You’d be forgiven for not noticing, amongst the constant barrage of crossbow shots, that there are a few coded messages spread throughout the video.

read moreGrammar. Something many people seem to lose all concept of when typing ideas through their computers, but also occasionally when speaking. So here I’m going to catalogue a few common mistakes people tend to make.

This no longer works (probably due to their move away from particular site), but you can do the same thing yourself. First, go to https://github.com/gabrielecirulli/2048 then press the green “Clone or download” button, and press “Download […]

read moreYou’ve got a flickering light, but can’t change the model’s skin to match? You want it to, but can’t work out how? Well, you can’t. Sucks, right? But don’t worry, it can be faked (and convincingly too)! What we’re going to do is set up timers to control the flickering instead. This is, in some […]

Note: I am still working on this, the parts are now uploaded to http://nestor.broadribbon.com.au/projects/ Click each image to view full size The plan The plan is it follows these two individuals (male01 and female02, refugee versions) going traveling along vaguely the same journey […]
read moreI believe the canals of Half-life 2 are a pretty good example of intelligent level design. It’s a perfect location for that part of the game for a few reasons.
