Random Ideas

I've actually been building proof of concepts for a PC version of the game for a while now. I've been trying very hard to improve speeds using just the .NET CLR, but it looks like I'll have to begin looking into either making or borrowing a proper image library for this. My own very basic algorithms just aren't enough to keep up – I'm hoping to have it run on 512MB RAM computers, although it looks like whoever's interested is going to need 1GB to run this well – it currently runs using just 8MB of RAM – but it can easily balloon if I decide to preload resources into RAM. We'll see.

Oh yes, card images copyright Wizards of the Coast, or Hasbro, or whoever owns them. Definitely not mine.

1/100 NG 00 Raiser Kit

After more than a month of thinking about it, and allowing it to run out of stock all over the place, I've decided to finally buy a 1/100 00 Raiser kit. I've yet to open it – since I bought it just so that when I do want to buy and build it (which is after exams) – I actually have a kit to buy. It's been awfully difficult to find at the right price – but I've finally bought it.

You can guess what this means: more photos in May or June once I'm done building it – of course, I don't paint, so it's bound to look like crap (although it does mean it'll only take me one afternoon, rather than one month).

Well, obviously, considering my course, I obviously use calculators. Here are the three I currently use the most. (besides my computer and my PDA)
