Skapong is done
Skapong’s done. Really, I’ve finished it. At the same time «Swing swing submarine» has made their «Blocks that matter», Gaslamp games will release «Dungeons of Dreadmor» any second now, but I — I have written a simple pong.
There are things that I didn’t do (e.g I haven’t touched the network play at all, so you may play only in hotseat or against the AI) and the things I...

the meaning of it all
I really think I want to make games. I’ve been daydreaming about that for far too long time — without actually doing anything.
I feel that’s enough. I’m up for making a game. As it will be my nearly first game, it will be a tinsy-tiny boring networked pong — possibly more of a technology test. Still, I would like to make it properly, so that it could be called a real, finished...
