There’s an age old question that people get asked, “What keeps you up at night?” It’s in regards to the things each of us fear, can’t control, or are just plain bewildered by. I’ve noticed that life is not this simple road where you just make money, sip chocolate milk, and ride off [...]

Over the last couple weeks in my new project I’m working on, I came across something that stumped me. I’m trying to program my game and get the player character able to use spells and ranged attacks on enemies. This requires some reasonably complex calculations to make sure that everything happens just right – [...]

It’s easy to keep doing what you’ve been doing.
It’s easy to keep believing what you’ve been believing.
