A few days back I was contacted about translating some of my Vita tutorials into Spanish.  Well the results of that conversation are available here on IndiceVita.es.  This is my spritesheet tutorial translated into Spanish.  I believe they are going to translate more tutorials in the future, so if you prefer reading Spanish […]

  I logged in to my Safari account this morning as part of my daily ritual to check which new books have been added and I discover they’ve added Beginning iOS 3D Unreal Games Development.  So what’s so special about this book?  Well, there are a couple of things… First off, although there are a […]

  I just ran in to one of those massive annoyances while working on another PlayStation SDK tutorial covering the SpriteTile class.     A SpriteTile is used to group multiple sprites together in a single texture.  There are literally dozens of utilities for packing sprites and every single one of them starts at the […]

    I have to say, Nathan does quick work, much faster than I do!   As I said in this earlier post Nathan volunteered to port my SFML C++ tutorial to SFML 2.0.  Well, he is done.  So in addition to the 1.6 projects, you can now download source for SFML 2.0.   Keep […]

  I decided to take a quick look at the RIM Gameplay SDK I mentioned a few days ago.  I haven’t really gotten much into coding with it, but I have to say WOW did it ever get up and running quickly.  Cross-platform gaming libraries normally require a number of hoops be jumped through before […]

    One of the most bizarre things missing from the PlayStation simulator was support for analog sticks, or gamepad support in general.  I had just assumed that you would be able to plug a gamepad into your PC to control the simulator, but I was wrong.  A keyboard only solution made owning an actual […]

    One of the biggest points of confusion for people new to Blender seems to be navigating the UI.  The UI layout of Blender is amazingly powerful but it is extremely easy to find yourself lost in a sea of windows and panels you’ve opened with no idea how to close them.  This video […]

  I am going to continue to develop a number of PlayStation Suite SDK tutorials and finding them could start getting confusing.  Therefore I have put together an index page off all tutorials I have created and will continue to update it as I create more.  Tutorials are ordered in more or less chronological order […]

    The LUA based Corona SDK is one of those things I have really been intending to check out for a very long time now.  One of the biggest reasons I haven’t looked closer ( other than time ) was the complete lack of published materials.  Today however, I logged in to Safari and […]
