Rant show/hide

     Wow, twice in a week. Pretty impressive, huh? I bet you're pretty impressed.
     At any rate, it's been a hectic week so far, but so much better than previous weeks. I've got Senior Project completely done (coding wise), now I just have to complete the documentation and hand it in. When I do, I'll get full versions of it online for your perusal, including source, executable, technical documentation, box scans, and instruction manual. It's a clone of Puzzle Fighter, though it only has a 2-player mode. Also, all the music is pulled from Weird Al or DDR. I don't even pretend that it's mine, but I figure they won't put up a fight if I use it to demonstrate my audio loading and playback functionality. Maybe they'll get mad at me for posting mp3's of their music online, but we'll deal with that when the time comes.
Also, after I get that online, I will put up some more extraneous programming, including my vector math stuff, which a lot of you out there will find very useful. Well, somebody somewhere may find it somewhat useful. Well, maybe one person will think it's an interesting read until they realize what it really is. :P Not that I doubt my skills, but vector math isn't exactly thrilling stuff. Also, I have a gloss-mapping example that uses the vector math library to (a) generate a tourus, and (b) calculate lighting per-vertex. It's exciting, if you're into that kind of stuff. I think next I will use that to do a semi-decent ray-tracer. One maybe in windows where you can actually have multiple objects. I'm gonna have to look into buffer manipulation in MFC first, though.
     Well, I think I'm gonna stop ignoring Beth now and take off. Hopefully I'll be back again next week with yet another strip. Trust me, I have plenty of ideas. It's just finding the time to draw them that becomes a problem.
     Side note: no Linear Algebra homework means I might actually find some time this weekend. w0000000000000t!
