A lot of people say there’s a fine line between genius and insanity. I don’t think there’s a fine line, I actually think there’s a yawning gulf. You see some poor bugger scuffling up the road with balloons tied to his ears, he’s not going home to invent a rocket, is he?

Adventure on the Horizon
Written on January 11, 2009 at 3:08 am about Life, Musing by
Tom Well, not so much ‘on the horizon’ as ‘inside my computer.’ I’ve been using my copious amounts of spare time over break to work on an adventure game engine, similar in ability to the old SCUMM games made by LucasArts. I’m developing it in Java, since that’s the language I know best and can leverage its built-in functions to save some time. It’s code-named JADE, for Java ADventure Engine. Once the engine itself is done, my friend Jack and I, along with likely Chris, will work on an actual adventure game for it, hopefully to be released here through SpartaLive, but of course we’ll see. So expect updates on the dev progress here.
In other news, I had my wisdom teeth out a few days ago, and apparently have some sort of mutant healing factor, as there’s been no pain and very little swelling — I was back to solid food in less than 24 hours. That was a plus, because Jell-O gets old quickly. (Though pudding never, ever, gets old.)
Tomorrow, if all goes according to plan, I’ll also be heading to Providence for dinner and a movie with a good friend of mine from college — fingers crossed. Seems hard to believe vacation’s almost over though; there’s only two weeks left. Well, that’s all for now I s’pose. Until next time, readers.
