I always feel kind of obliged to make at least a post a month here, unfortunately I wasn’t able to post anything useful since the end of September (shame on me). Actually I haven’t been doing much programming at all lately. My main focus now is finishing up my Bsc in Computing Science, just one more course to go and of course the dreaded thesis. To everyone’s surprise, including mine, I will be doing a thesis about a topic picked by one of my professors who specializes in “intuitionistic propositional logic”. Hell I don’t even know what that means. Luckily for me I’ll be only dealing with a small sub-problem related to calculating the number of ‘upwards closed subsets’ (I’m not sure if this direct translation from Dutch to English makes any sense academically). Anyway it will mean I can visualize and think a lot of lattices.

So back to that tutorials thing that should be going on here. Don’t worry I’m not stopping or even formally postponing anything. I even have a few code files and some word documents laying around about adding ways to tint models programmatically so that you can give models more diverse looks without much more work. However I can’t promise when I get around to publishing it, hell I’ve got a new computer and it hasn’t even got XNA on it yet! Although I’m seriously considering switching to something else.

I would also like to add a tutorial or two on graph layout algorithms, both from my internships and the lattices that I’m going to visualize for my thesis.

Meanwhile while you wait, why not pick up the new Trine 2 which is a really good Indie game, man it looks absolutely perfect and the first 30 minutes already promise a lot more fun than Trine 1. *Not an advertisement, I’m just hyper excited about it *.

Sincerely,
