Been a while...

Hi folks! It seems like it's been a while since I posted to my blog. But that's not to say that I haven't been busy. In fact a good few things have been going on.

I've finally released the second issue of Pascal Gamer Magazine. This issue, published in April 2010, features the 2009 PGD Annual Game Developer's Competition. There is also more articles, Coder's Block, Game Reviews and What's New content to keep you up to date with some of the events within the greater Pascal community.

The Pascal Gamer website has been given an update allowing you to more easily browse through all the past issues, download web banners and access downloadable bonus material from articles in each issue.

I've also set up an account with Lulu.com to allow you to get a copy of the first issue of the magazine in print! I'll soon add the second issue and as I publish new issues I will be adding each of those to be purchased in print as well. Just look on the details page for the issue you want and if it's available in print you'll see a 'Buy Now Lulu' button that'll take you to the store.

The new site also allows you to make donations through PayPal to help finance new things for the magazine.


Besides the magazine, I've also posted news on PGD about one of my newer projects 'Treasure Hunters: The Dark Labyrinth' which is based off an old board game I used to play as a kid. It features treasure collection, an ever shifting maze of board game tiles and a nasty minotaur chasing you through the maze. The project's showcase page is located here.





In other news, I'm almost on my way to becoming a Mac user! :D However unfortunately it seems that the Toronto-based distributors sent the wrong system. I ordered myself the really high end i7 Quad Core 27" iMac, where they sent me a i5 Quad Core. I was extremely disappointed, but decided to hand it back to the store and wait for them to contact Apple to investigate what happened in the mix-up. *sigh* Soon I hope, soon.


Thats all I really have for now. I guess if I forgot anything important I'll just have to make another post, probably not a bad idea. ;) Happy coding!
