Multiplication and addition through binary operations

In order to get more comfortable using bitwise operators such as & | ^ ~ in the course Advanced C++ 2 for games, we received our first sub-assignment. Performing multiplication and addition through binary operations only.
For addition we used the follow algorithm:

We have two integers, 39(0010 0111) and 23(0001 0111).
1. Perform XOR on them and store the results in a new integer we call sum. This will compare the bits of the integer and return a value were the […]

Analysis report, Gloom and other things in mind

I’ve been trying to write a section of my analysis report today. It took me all day to get down just a few words. I can’t believe how rusty I am at this writing thing.So first things first: I started up by writing down a few topics I need to have in the …

Baby steps.

Testing out the new blog I’ve been setting up to use for school thingies. I haven’t really many things to discuss in this post other than I’m super stoked for the rest of the year, can’t wait until I can dig down in a pile of code again! I have been programming for about 4 years but nothing gaming related, mostly arranging numbers and names but hey, I gotta start somewhere right? 

Machinations and other things

This week we got assigned to try out something called Machinations. It’s a tool to help you visualize/test a game mechanic you wish to have in your game and for our assignment we were to use it to simulate a resource kind of game, you know, like Settlers …

First few weeks at GAME

I have now studied game design at Uppsala University for three weeks, last week and this week I have been feeling like we’re really getting started. We’ve had our first assignment in communications class and I personally found it very difficult to find a subject and writing a bit more scientifically about something artistic. I decided to write my popular science article about Concept Art which turned out quite well and received good critique from my group. The critiquing of […]

Mechanics Design Final Product

This is my final resource design for my course Serious Games. Unfortunately, I could not find a way to post the xml file that will make the picture interactive meaning that you can’t run it 🙁
Anyway, the basic idea is that you start with 500 money that you can invest in 2 different options. Energy and property but you can’t invest in property unless you have water and electricity. So you start with investing in energy with which you […]

Sketch Dump 2

I’ve been practising a lot of anatomy the last 2 weeks since I finally got my hands on Albinus on Anatomy, an absolute god-send to character artists. But I’ve also done a lot of environment concepts in my sketch book so that when I’m able to spend more time on them, I can do so in Photoshop. Which I have. Currently working on the last of the four sketches you can see in this dump.TGIF!
