uuuuuuuuuuuuugh...

Dag nabbit, I got totally lazy and didn't continue writing this friggin' blog.

So here's the deal, at work, I have a set schedule for writing my wiki/blog relating to work. But when I get home, gorram it, I have absolutely no motivation to update it. How am I supposed to stay motivated doing this? I'm finding it incredibly difficult. Yar yar yar...

Ok enough bitching. I am trying to start up little projects. I've been playing Supreme Commander a lot and it's made me want to work on some old AI stuff I had from the graduate class I took in Fall 08 (I dropped the class, felt a little bit overwhelmed, perhaps a post for another day). I figure, I can use the basic movement algorithms I got from it and build up from there. I love RTS games and it would be cool to make something.

I've decided to use Processing since the code I do have from the AI class was done in that. I'm very much tempted to use XNA since there is a nifty tutorial on selecting using using a game box. But, I also want to learn how to do it myself and not just copy and paste, which is what I will end up doing anyways. However, I use C# at work, and I want to work in a different language whilst at home. Even though at UNM I used Java.

Speaking of other languages, I've tried my hand at Haskell - aside from what I did for a class at UNM, but I dunno what to use it for. I need to go through the tutorials and figure out how it works to a decent point. There are some cool things you can do, but I'm not sure which ones. I'm thinking of doing Project Euler problems with it, but we'll see.

As for the old game that I had said I'd start working on. Obviously I'm not ranting and raving about it. I got distracted and lost interest. There was so much in there I was sure what to do anyways.
