Data structures

What did I do?
I wrote algorithms for two basic generic data structures: a linked list and a binary search tree (BST). This was done for two reasons: to derust after not coding for a while, and to learn a bit about data structures.
Some short definitions: a linked list consists of nodes, which contain some data and a pointer to the next node in line. This creates a list which can be easily iterated through in order to find whatever data […]

Week 1 gameprogramming I

Starting a new course that i think will be fun.
I am programming C++ in Visual studios and started to learn the coding language that resembles flash actionscript and Csharp. It was some years ago i coded so a introduction to coding in C++ is good for my learning process. This week we tested to build simpler programs to get started, some of them was challenging for me.
One of the programs that was challenging for me was this program that I […]

Totemic at DreamHack Winter

In two weeks time we will be taking Totemic to DreamHack Winter, we will be at Uppsala University’s booth at the DreamExpo.
Come see us there and play Totemic!

Programming III – First Weekly Post

During out first lecture this semester we were tasked to compress a specific .bmp-file to as small of a size we could. I worked with Jonas Lundgren and William Nordin with this and we managed to take take it down from 190kb-something to 20-25-something if I remember correctly, but we never managed to decompress it again die to time constraints.
I just started with one of our assignments for this course as well. In this assignment we are going to write […]

Programming again. Woo.

On Monday the programming course started and even though it’s been two years since I last used a programming language it quite easy to pick up again. Two years ago I used the language Java and there are similarities between it and C++, but I’m not complaining about that.
I went through the PDF with exercises thinking they were relatively easy until I got to Program 23. I could not quite get my head around how to do it and consulted […]

Week 10: 2D Graphics Course

This week the 2D graphics design course began. It started off with some life drawing where we practiced sketching up the dynamic of a pose. We also got into how to how proportions on human looked and how to draw a body and head. We also got an assignment to sketch 20 thumbnails of a character and reflect on our drawings over the past week. My thumbnails were supposed to depict a citizen of a post-apocalyptic society, and each thumbnail […]

The Solar System – Console program

This week has been our first introduction to C++ programming. We’ve been going through computer history, types, loops, bytes, bits, etc.
Here’s a simple program I made with the knowledge I have so far. The program called The Solar System
I know this may not be the most beautiful code out there and there may be some flaws with the program but lets pretend they don’t exist!
Heres the code:

When it’s running:

Traveling through space (You can see the stars go by […]

First week of Game programming 1

In the beginning of this week, we started the Game programming 1 course. This is a introduction course C and C++. This week we have worked with how variables, loops and branching works in C++. We had over 20 exercises to practise and understand this, but since I have been programming a lot earlier in C and Java, the tasks was pretty simple to understand. But they were great to get in the programming mood.
In this week we also went […]
