Today I removed some OpenGL release bugs in Arena Wars. Some objects and animated textures were not released because the underlying managers were killed before them (but that happend not everytime, it was more like a random behaviour because of the GC).
Anyhow, glIntercept helped me a lot to find the exact location where and which objects were not released correctly. Also thanks to Damian Trebilco -creator of glIntercept- for pointing out there could be something wrong with ArenaWars.
More on that when ArenaWars v1.2 will be released. Maybe an early beta will already start this weekend (or maybe not ^^).

Yep, I didn't get a gmail account before and wasn't interessed that much (thought I have to wait until it is not longer beta, which will not happen anytime soon). Anyway, Karsten had the oppertunity to give some accounts away and gave me one (stupid gmail system!)

Gmail is ok, but what makes it really cool for me is using the tools other people have created like GMail Drive. Instead of using some FTP account or sending emails all the time, I can now just drag and drop files to exchange data from work and home.

Hey everyone, the last couple of days I didn't feel very good and was most of the time in my bed not able to sleep.
For this reason there will be most likly no Arena Wars patch ready this week. I will continue to work on some smaller features, but I'm not very fast in my current state ^^

About VS c# 2005 Express October Edition (see abi/PermaLink.aspx?guid=92311fe7-b0ba-4766-9a66-d2ba1c1450d0">last post): I never got it into a stable version, it crashes far to often (especially when debugging). Yesterday it even crashed and restarted everytime when I opened any menu. A reinstall didn't help either, so I'm back to the VS 2005 Preview (Beta Update) version. I guess I have to wait a little until E&C can be used without problems.

Yeah! I already read last week on Dan Fernandez's Blog that E&C for c# is comming now for sure and will be available this week sometime.

I hadn't had the time to check back on that, but while adding blogs for the blogroll I saw there is even a Visual Studio c# Express Version (free download) with the new E&C feature: Check it out here: VS 2005 Downloads
Warning: You have to uninstall all vs express and vs 2005 preview version (including all sql, msdn, etc. stuff) to get this thing to work, see the readme. More Information here at Dan Fernandez's Blog

Nice nice, this feature will rock my world! I've already tried it out and it works quite nice, declaring public variables or changing any GUI element is not possible and it crashes sometimes, but other than that this feature already rocks.

A list of cool tools I use. Everything from the OS to a Calculator!

This is a list of my bookmarks, it may change over time.
Maybe this is useful for other people, or just help to find stuff again

About me and contact information

Hi everyone,

this is my new website, blog and all that stuff. I will try to post every few days some information about Game Development, c# stuff or .NET in general, and also from time to time some things about Arena Wars (thats the Game I programmed) and StarCraft BroodWar (I like this game too ^^).

If you want to read more technical or "professional" blogs (hehe), check out my Blogroll. These people have much better blogs anyway
