In today's episode of "Other ways to waste my time", I've been playing around with simple GLSL shaders.

I can smell roasted chicken. Why's that?

Oh, yeah I put chicken breast on to roast an hour ago didn't I.

Stumbled across Open Fodder yesterday. If you want to play it you'll need appropriate disk images for the full games (Cannon Fodder and Cannon Fodder 2) but you can still play various demo levels if you don't have them.

This evening I investigated adding lighting and shadows to my TwoSticks shooter and I added a simple level progress bar that gives you an indication of when the level exit portal will appear.

I made some changes to my TwoSticks shooter yesterday to implement a mechanism for the player to choose when they jump to the next level rather than it being automatic based on score. Most of the changes were good but it really unbalanced the gameplay and I couldn't at the time see a way around it.

Today, the addition of a single variable and changing one evaluation rebalanced the gameplay. Such is the way coding often works when you walk away from it for a bit.

One of the things I'm enjoying about Calckey is that I can see some of the server metrics through one of the widgets.
