Was going to make dinner, ended up making a Quake-style console instead!
Weekend fun! Modelling and texturing a tree (stem).
The Warrior Diet
Food and eating habits are very often up to discussion. Especially if you have an unorthodox method that you follow or embrace.
I often get asked about the “Warrior Diet”, and it is of course difficult to explain the whole concept of the diet and convince someone about it during just a couple of minutes. And why I have come to the conclusion that it is a really good diet - after spending about a decade on health and training issues. Maybe because it is so dead simple - it is hard for people to grasp the concept.
After I’ve explained it though, the most common response I get is: “Wow! I could NEVER go a whole day without eating”. That is probably the most difficult stepping stone for anyone, to be able to change routines.
I will share a link to Ori Hofmekler’s site. Ori is the origin of the modern “Warrior Diet” and has written a book with the same name - it contains references to some science reports - which makes it a very respectable book, at least to me. The website contains lots of free information - I say enough to get all the basic information about the diet. The book has some more to it - from history, to dishes and even training - all related to WD.
iPhone port
The iPhone port has been getting some love this week(-end). I wanted to see how the demo I have shown you earlier, works on the real device. And see just how slow it was running. It was expected to be quite slow at it’s current state and the characters contains quite a lot of vertices, and it uses the MD2 format. Though, I just did some quick tests and it was running with debug on a iPhone 3G.
It received two memory warnings after loading everything in and then ran at about 10 fps. There are lots of optimizations that can be made, so I will save that for the future. We will see what happens during the coming week, I want to get some designing done.
My mood for game development right now is pretty high. I’ve been brainstorming this week and reading the book that I mentioned earlier. Energy was preserved during daytime on the weekend. So I opened up my framework, first time since Christmas. I was determined to fix a bug and get that font rendering finished. I was up and running quite quick and finished in just a handful of hours, it was nice to get that bug squished finally!
Then on Saturday night and Sunday I got carried away and wanted to build a GUI, rounded rectangles more precisely. I am quite satisfied with the result. I will be able to build lots of stuff with this foundation that I have now.
