As an aspiring programmer, especially with a desire to pursue games development, ever since Christmas 2007 (and also every Easter and maybe the odd random time!), I’ve read Masters of Doom by David Kushner (Buy on [...]
Hope everybody has a good time. Things have been a little slow at this end. Just been mainly been recovering from a very tough last weekend. Stereoscopic Imaging I went to see Avatar in “Real D 3D”, which was really good and obviously I had to have a quick read around into the topic of [...]
I came across my first significant bug in the DirectX 11 Compute Shaders (Using CS_4_0 for compatibility with my DirectX 10 card) although it’s my fault for using old drivers When filling my RWStructuredBuffer with something easy to debug such as: float4(1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4); What actually occurred, when checking on both the CPU and [...]

I’ll add a post detailing the exact reason once I’ve got things back up and running. Update 17/08/09 Up until the 11th of August, [...]
I’ve added up some pages for some old favourites of mine; Yendorian Tales Book I: Chapter 2 and Yendorian Tales: The Tyrants of Thaine.
