Well, long time no entry and this probably is no big update either. I simply decided that it is time to rethink some things on the about page (FAQ). I also eliminated forms on the submission page and feedback page (this one entirely) due to spam abuse by webbots or crawlers. God, I hate those things and who writes them anyway? :-)
I added a new software, named "Paranoid" to the Tools Section.
It's a little game (a "Pong" clone), which I programmed primarily for the learning experience concerning the basics of
game programming under Windows. It's not built on DirectX or any other game development API.
I kept it much simpler using GDI for graphics and some basic sound playback routines from the Windows API.
Of course, the source code is available. So, if anyone has something to say about it, I'd be very interested in it. ;-)
I also did some improvements on the site's navigation menu.
I hope, it's a little bit easier to find things around here, for now.
I took some time to improve my low level wave player for Windows, MinimalistWave. If you are interested in Windows API and sound programming, you may want to have a look at the Tools Section. Any suggestions on the code are welcome!
Maybe, you'll like to hear, that I revived the Tools Section. The occasion was the release of my own wave player "MinimalistWave". It's free software and open source, so I hereby encourage all Windows API developers to take a look at it. Don't hesitate to contact me, if you have improvements on the code or similar things to discuss.
