SimpliciTI and Comment boxes

Posted by: Hoani Bryson - 17.12.2011

In the hobby section there is now a tutorial for setting up mspgcc uniarch SimpliciTI with a peer-to-peer example. Please check the read me in the zip file for credits.

My other exciting news is that you can now post comments on these tutorials, or my games for that matter. So let me know what you think!
A huge thank you to http://www.htmlcommentbox.com which made all of this possible. What a guy!

More Tutorials

Posted by: Hoani Bryson - 12.12.2011

Phew...

A couple more tutorials have been added and the mspgcc uniarch setup has been updated to help people running Ubuntu natty (may work for older versions but I haven't tested it).

I also modified an openchronos programmer so i can program the exp430f5529 board which you can check out here if you find you are in the same situation as me.

Tonight I also got a modified SimpliciTI protocol working with mspgcc uniarch so expect a tutorial on that by the end of the week with the example code! It just needs a little tidying up...

Cheers,

Hoani

Some MSP430 Tutorials

Posted by: Hoani Bryson - 28.11.2011

Cool, the site is better and finally configured for the sack of useless garbage that is internet explorer (whom take linebraks in code as a space and format your website accordingly <rage/>).

This news post is all about the hobby section of the website... there are now tutorials there for the ez430-2013, the ez430-chronos and msp430-gcc (aka gcc-msp430 or mspgcc). So if you want to get started with some of your msp430 devices watch this space as I intend to add some tutorials from the ez430-rf2500 boards and some more advanced tutorials on the 2013 as well very soon.

Cheers.

New Website

Posted by: Hoani Bryson - 15.11.2011

Sweet! I finally took my website by the nuts and re-built it from scratch. Now maintainability has become much easier. What does this mean for you? Not much really except I will probably add content more frequently.

Cheers,

Hoani

2011 is upon us

Posted by: jackrussel - 10.11.2011

I graduated last year from University.
Now I've been doing a lot of Embedded Software engineering. A sudden spike in my programming abilities has meant two things:
1) I'm keen on finding a new game making environment that uses Emacs
2) My programming has become more embedded focused rather than game making focused...
3) This website could use a few changes.

So here's the plan. I'm going to transform this website, and then make it not just for my games but also a few projects I do at home.

Not that anyone reads these news feeds anyway :P

CAE2 Tower Defense

Posted by: jackrussel - 28.09.2010

Last week saw the release of CAE2 Tower Defense. This project took a few months and was a joint effort with Glynn McCabe. So far it has been getting some nice reviews from fellow class mates. Anyway, it is available on the games page. Enjoy!

Vocab Tester Released

Posted by: jackrussel - 22.01.2010

Ok, so it is a little bit late... But anyway I have now released a vocab tester I developed for when I was learning Te Reo Maori at uni.

Anyway, it basically takes words from a text file and tests you on them so you can make your own vocab list.

Hopefully some people will find it useful for their studies or just for general learning of a language.

Cheers,

Hoani.

ps. Happy New Years and Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving Update

Posted by: jackrussel - 29.10.2009

I think it's thanksgiving in America soon... maybe.

So I'm working on this new game, you play as a werewolf and hunt zombies and vampires. I'm trying to give it an arcade touch and I plan to base the levels on my University.

I also have a couple of other ideas for games I wish to make but we'll see how everything goes. I also plan to finish that vocab tester this Christmas.

For now, I have exams and my allocated procrastination time is just running out.

Vocab Tester

Posted by: jackrussel - 15.08.2009

I have been working on a vocabulary tester which I made so i could practice for a vocabulary test. I think I may still have a little more work to do on it until it is finished though.

New Game Under Development

Posted by: jackrussel - 20.04.2009

Hello!
Recently my flatmate (Alistair) and I have started making an epic Puzzle Platformer. Unfortunately a demo is unavailable, but the basic engine is already well underway. I don't want to spoil too much of the game bust basically you can play as any one of three selectable characters and the idea is to reclaim what was stolen from you by the baddie.
Anyway, hopefully something will be posted on the projects page soon.

Happy late easter!
