Well the text was changing color but no longer. Hopefully many things will change in the future. Haven't made a lot of progress in java this weekend. I just added a bunch of tutorials to my java worload list thingy. that way i can check them out easier. I'm planning on going over a couple of java 2d tutorials and swing kit tutorial. Then i'm going to pull out a java game programming book i found.. then i thought i might check out the slick game library.
i had some trouble with lwjgl last time i tried to install it, i think it's supposed to help you do hardware accelerating tricks but i just don't think my gpu can handle that as i'm on a laptop. The stationary computer isn't as accessible to me as it once was so i'm not really developing on there. I let the family cannablize it into some sort of "house computer" it has it's uses that way too.. so i don't really have any complaints i just wish my laptop came with better graphics chips. You'd think they would have been putting better gpu's in laptops by now but maybe the extra cooling involved was a factor they had to get over? I don't know.
Spring break's almost over and i'm not done with everything i wanted to do.. but no worries, i'm getting there.

Java Game Dev
Ok, i edited the speed ot the color switch so it's much Sloooower now. so slow that you probably won't be on long enough to see it happen unless your reading through the archive.. which acording to google analytics no one is ever on here more then 9 minutes so i doubt it's read.. but i like to keep it up all the same.
Currently following tutorials here for java game development, but i plan on going over the java 2d tutorial afterwards, to be honest i think this game one is a bit over my head, never actually did a proper learning of 2 dimensional graphic stuff in java during my class. it was pretty much like C++ this whole time, except with java.. so it's kind of not as fun. Buuut~ i'll carry on all the same, with an inferior education on the subject i'll find a way somehow! Anyway, i kinda get what's going on with the graphics, but some things baffle me so i believe his 2d tutorials will do me some good.
A lot of it doesn't feel like learning how a proper instructor or book would teach me either. It's just a bunch of code that he throws down and trying to explain chunks of it here and there.. or he just thinks we've reached a certain level(So i guess i'm sneaking in under the radar?) Now i usually spent sunday nights working on it but lately i've just picked up wherever and started working on it. Getting through it quicker this way.. it was all a part of the master plan, the sunday game dev thing was just to get me working on stuff. The schedule works.. MUAHAHAHA!!!!
yeah whatever, Personal Life. Played Golf today, Rode my bicycle on a bike trail for the first time. 5.7 miles. It's not impressive by bicycler people but they wear stretchy shorts so what do i care how they feel about it? I'm making my first steps, that plus weight training and i might bring my weight down. Here's hoping. Then i came home, ribs, crappy facebook game, Developin' Game time, And i thought i'd update my log. Now it's either nap time or Calculus time.. i'm leaning towards calculus. Test on monday. Hard to study at home but i think i'll manage today.
