Half-Life Mod Runner
I was getting sick of having all of these links to different half-life mods on my desktop and I didn't trust somone else to do it right, so I made my own. If you want somthing done right you gatta do it yourself. All it does is show you a list of all currently installed mods and letts you run them with a command line. If you still play half-life, you might find this usefull. I will release the source to anyone who is interested, just email me. Check this out in the files section of the Programming section.

More Plans For "Suzie Strikes Back"
The team and I have some more detailed plans: We plan to make the robot about 12cm wide and 20cm long. We will be using computer duster to put the candle out. We will most likely be pulling the trigger with a motor instead of using an electrical valve. We will be using a fire detector (yes that's what it's called) to detect the flame. They say it can detect a lighter flame from about 5 feet away. There will be at least 4 sharp range finders, one on each side and possibly one extra on the sides. We'll be using an Atmel processor. The flame detector and a tube hooked up to the duster will be attached to at least one servo at candle height. We'll use aluminum for the bodywork. I'm hopping that me and Jonathon will be able to make the robot do smooth turning around corners instead of stopping and turning. Before we can really get going, we need to go shopping!

My Back
Well, I broke my back snowboarding, :(. I fractured my spine in two places, I can still walk, and it's what they called a stable fracture. And no, I did not wail myself off a huge jump and land funny. I was just going really fast and got distracted for a second, and caught my back edge on the flats. If you know Nakiska, It took me 1 minute and 10 seconds to get from the top of red crow, to the gold chair, and that was on a slower run. I'm feeling good now, so nothing to worry about. I should be back on the slopes mid March.

Strato Combat
I have decided to actually name my game. I am working on it... don't you worry. In the first version it WILL have banked turning, a larger playing area, a fixed screen resolution (it changes it), locational damage (at least detect if it actually hits the plane, not it's bounding rectangle), sound, a way better GUI (Graphical User Interface), the ability to create your own planes, different controls (up/down to increase/decrease throttle, left/right to change how your plane is banked, a button to rotate through primary and secondary weapons), and bullets will no longer be reset every life, when you come back to life, you will have the same number of bullets as when you died. Click here to see some images and some detailed plans.

Snowboarding
It's nearly ski season! A little bird told me that COP is going to open this weekend. Wow. Anyways, I will be driving almost every weekend to Nakiska or Fortress, if you are willing to pitch in a bit for gas, I can carry up to 4 extra people. Give me a call or an email, and we'll we what we can do. I'll be posting a calendar in my snowboarding section so you can check out my ridding schedule. Hope to see you on the slopes.

Belvedere
It was a nice show. Not as good as Good Riddance, mainly because there weren't as many people. Still some good fast paced punk though.

(Hint: Look at any of the old versions of the game closly). This is only available to friends that I know directly, email and have you answer in the subject please. Winner will be chosen on Oct 17th.

Plans For That Atari Game V4
I have been thinking a lot about making an Atari game version 4. I would rewrite the entire program. The planes would now do banked turns and when you press right, it'll bank more and more right until you are fully sideways turning as fast as you can. When you let go of the right button, your plane would still turn until you pressed left to level your plane out. I would also add in loops so that you can get behind your enemies in one swift move. Most of the weapons would be the same except a few added effects like smoke trailing behind some of them. I will hopefully add some neat plane dieing effects like your right wing gets blown off and you go spiraling to your death. I also hope to add g-forces to prevent people from using the sharp turn too much. The reason why pilots in real life black out is because the g-forces suck all of the blood down to their feet and don't leave enough blood for the brain to function. So I'd do the same thing here, have some kind of blood pressure meter and when it drops too low, you will black out, level out and fly straight for a short period of time. I also plan to have multi-player over the LAN and over the Internet with bots and hot seat up to 4 players. as that is, I think it will add considerably to the game. If you have any ideas, they are all welcome, I just may not use them. :)

That Atari Game V3.03 Release
I just went through and fixed some bugs and balanced the homing missiles. The homing missiles are no longer as cheap as they used to be. They run out of fuel earlier now, so they don't chase you all across the level. AND they now have limited sight, meaning they don't know that you are behind them and they will fly strait until they can see you (within 55 degrees). I also added in a game speed modifier. You can edit this value as you please. It was put in there to allow really fast/slow computers to run it at a normal pace. That's about it. Download it in the programming section.

Starship
I have decided to release a really old game I made a while back (in 2000) in VB. It is again a 2d birds eye view game but it takes place in space and it isn't multi-player. There are like 3 bad guys that you can kill, with AI codes, but that's about it. The only weapon that you have is regular missiles. There are cheats, and god mode is by default set to ON. Press enter then type in the following to enable/disable cheats: Cheaters Never Prosper = enable cheats, Teddy Bear = makes the oppennets sit still, I Dont Want To Die Anymore = god mode, Warp Speed Ahead = warp speed, Lole Pole = super slow, Just Shoot Dumb Dumb = teddy bear + they shoot, Die = kills yourself. Hope you can have about 5 mins of fun.
