I’ve put quite a lot of hours into my Pacman clone, the last few days. Usually I mix up my evenings or even weekends with other stuff besides working on the game, but now, I just had to keep working on it. I suppose its partly due to some of the new features, but I [...]
A few days ago I read about a pacman clone made by a student that got taken down because of copyright violations. It raised quite a few eyebrows as there are literally thousands of clones out there. I doubt I’ll be reading a similar letter soon, but it got me thinking as to how far [...]

Next to game programming I have an other interest, namely 3d art. One of the very first images I remember seeing were from Steven Stahlberg. I was completely sold when I came across his images of those girls on futuristic bikes and dinosaurs. A year or so later I got my hands on a copy of [...]
Up until a few days ago I had never used WP before. I always figured that, being a webdeveloper myself, I could perfectly do without and just create something myself. Because well be honest, it’s much more satisfying to create something yourself, than to just install something that is used by million others, too, right? [...]
