So I have a disc golf tournament coming up on 6/15/2024 (see the results here) @ Veterans Disc Golf Course in Arlington, Tx. This is going to be a 2 round tournament of disc golf in one day. Typically I try not to play too many tournaments in the hot summer months. I play this […]

I’ve always wondered why my urge to fish is so strong. As a youth growing up it’s not like any of my family taught me how to fish. Oh sure, my father took me fishing (he didn’t fish) a couple of times and I was even gifted a Popeil Pocket Fisherman. But no one in […]

I’ve always been an very amateur storm chaser. Living in Texas for the past 40 years I’ve had more than my share of very close calls with Tornadoes. We’ve had small tornadoes damage our home, larger tornadoes come within 10-20 miles, tennis ball size hail, insane wind, etc. Back in 2015 I had been dabbing […]

Centipede followed by Millipede are without a doubt my all time favorite arcade games. Many hours and quarters were lost playing these games at my local arcades. I think I’ve coded either a demo or a full game based on these games on every platform I’ve ever programmed on. lol.. I coded my first attempt […]

Back in 2000 when I was dabbling around in my home music studio, I had just purchased a new digital instrument that allowed me to play acoustic guitar chord strums on my midi keyboard. I started playing these 2 chords on the keys while humming this quirky melody, eventually started singing with a humorous and […]

In the early 2000s I wanted to start messing around with music again. I’ve always been banging on my drums, but it was a very long time since I actually sat down and played on a midi keyboard and tried to make some music. I wasn’t in a band at the time, I had no […]

Download Retroblast For PC Retroblast (Released in 2008) was coded in VB6 using the last version of my DXGame Engine. Similar to the Flash game I would go on to code later called “Retroshoot”, this game was basically an exercise in learning more about code automation, “set it and forget it” game coding, etc. I […]

Download Christmas Clix For PC I coded this game back in 2008-2009. To this day it was the most expensive game to develop (I hired a professional graphics designer and music composer) and also the longest I ever spent developing a game. I really wanted this game to be polished and professional looking. I had […]

Flash Rocks My World The popularity of online Flash gaming was just taking off. It was like this platform was specifically made for me. 🙂 A platform where simple little games were played by millions of people every day, if not every hour. I was shocked that the programming language used (AS3) was surprisingly similar […]

I’ve always coded differently. Even back in the Atari 8-bit days, when coding using a basic compiler or even when coding 6502 assembly language, I’ve always taken the easiest way out when it comes to computer programming. Granted in 6502 Assembly my code was a bit more low level and optimized, but anybody that had […]
