Fluttershy says, ハローワールド!

So I've finally started down the rabbit hole of the coding project I've been thinking of for a couple years now.
This is the test project to get a few things happening first:

  • Render using OpenGL
  • Use PNG images as textures
  • Render text using a TTF font
    • Do it using a full Unicode font
  • Write it in C/C++
SDL makes a lot of this easier and will facilitate several other aspects for me in addition to helping to keep the code so that it will easily build for multiple platforms; cause it's 2013 and there is no "one platform" that "everyone" uses anymore.

The screen capture here shows this all happening together at once!

Time to let the noodle relax.

No Need For Crabs

I always wanted to have a screen saver like the one used by Washu in the episode "Hello Baby" of the animé Tenchi Muyo! a couple years ago I imagined how I would do it. So, I finally got something that works. It is only one crab that walks along the screen. The plan is to have two crabs walk in opposite directions on the screen at somewhat random heights.
Originally, there is a beeping noise that activated with the screen saver. I am still not sure if I should add this or not. Generally, I don't like my screen saver to make noise.
