Game programming

I got bored of programming thesis stuff and since my neurological system programming is sorta in a hold (what do you mean "do other things") because I need a good GUI and apparently the perfectionist in me doesn't feel like the standard windows GUI and a few dots are good enough for such a minor script...

So I started looking up on DirectX (ofc 11 only, because well... nevermind me) and OpenGL

One thing led to another (and its never a good thign, when we are talking me) and I ended up with a version XNA on my PC and me ready to program a small game, in order to learn the graphical aspects of DirectX a bit more and also because im bored.

It definitly won't have any priority over the thesis, but it certainly will provide a bit of change here and there

I swear, this is gonna end facepalmworthy...

Developers Hell

This device will definitly haunt me after my death. Not only is the manual for it as simple to understand (also wrong in some technical aspects) as a quantum physics book, that was translated into english from japanese with google translator, in addiotion to this the manual to the DG2020 is also completly lacking any important programming information.

The engineers automaticly asumed that anyone using this device will have access to LabVIEW , the software that costs just some thousands euro... The best part of it: its my job as a student to make a standalone DLL now o.o

Out of order

Well I guess I finaly managed to fuck up properly this time,

time management was never exactly my strength, but after finaly passing all projects and exams, slacking at the bachelor thesis might have not been the best idea I've ever had.

Now that I think of it, I lost around 2 weeks of pure thesis time and in addition nearly 4 weeks of mixed exam-thesis time, that means around 1 month. It's not like I wasn't doing anything, but I should've spent at least the tripple avarage of daily time for my work

On the bright side, I did program quite something, sadly however its completly unrelated to my project. ALSO on the second bright side I unlocked quite a lot of League of Legends champions AND managed to get to level 33 in 3 days in Skyrim, which isn't bad at all, with the exception that it's not helping my project now too...

Oh well.

The good thing is, its still perfectly makable, so I guess it's back to planing hourly again, so I get back on track.

Plan for today: Install a copy of VMware player with ubuntu on my second PC, get the system im programing on runing (which somehow didnt work for me yesterday), write down and analyze the LabVIEW core structure properly and THEN do whatever i feel like.

Let's see how that turns out...

Failing at basics

While working on a programm i somehow absolutly forgot that a subclass of a class is still the class...
Result:

Cell=Space
