This is a little piece I wrote in 2014. Here’s the formula for calculating an even amount for your groceries at the supermarket. Let ”T” be the total price of the order, ”P” be the price of a non-taxable item, ”G” be the price of a taxable item, ”t” be the tax on a taxable […]

How to Add C# Assemblies to a Godot Engine Project
With the release of version 3.0 of the Godot Engine, C# was added as a supported programming language. Due to other engines like Unity, there is a large number of C# assemblies which can help in developing a game. However, there isn’t an easy way to add assemblies in the editor. Therefore, this tutorial was […]
Using Rant in my Python program because I’m a glutton for punishment
Over the past few months, I have been researching and developing a little procedurally generated game which will eventually be created in the Godot engine. This game will have a story that’s procedurally generated for the players. A part of this game is the dialogue, which will also be procedurally generated. To accomplish this, I […]
So I Did a Panel at a Convention
Last Friday, I did a panel at A-Kon 28 about starting out with Gimp. I had been wanting to do a panel for a while, so I prepared for this one. I followed the advice of the dynamic duo that is Vitamin H, and planned out what I was going to say, along with practice. […]

This is something called procedural generation, wherein game settings, mechanics, assets, and other components are created from an alogorthim, and a bit of randomness. I […]

The Nintendo Switch™: Is this the success Nintendo needs?
So Nintendo has shown off their next console: the Nintendo Switch™. This machine is a touchscreen with detachable controllers called Joy-Cons. What a user can do is either play it while the device is connected to the TV, or take it out of the dock, and play games on the go. The device has a […]
So I wrote a cute screensaver
A few months ago, I found a GIF of Kirby (or rather a bunch of Kirbys) dancing. I thought, This would be even cooler if it was set to music. So I set about writing a simple, little HTML5 screensaver. In the Cinnamon Desktop for Linux Mint, you can write screensavers in HTML5 (technically, it […]
