The Assignment
This monday we had a lecture with Ernest Adams about Art and music, he also gave us un assignment in which we were to choose a genre. We could chose from survival horror, real-time-strategy and children’s non-violent game. We also had to research an artist/photographer/filmmaker and a composer/musician and finally make a powerpoint presentation. The only criterias were that it had to be a minimum of ten slides and have pictures and music.The fact that there were hardly any instructions […]

A very simple introduction to this great blog!
Hi,
My name is Simon Säfström and I am studying Gamedesign and Programming at Campus Gotland, Uppsala University. This blog is dedicated to games and other things that have anything to do with the subject. I’ll be showing the different types of projects I am working on during my studies as well as possibly even writing down my own thoughts. Hopefully this will help me grasp the bigger picture surrounding the world of games and anything else surrounding it.
For the people […]

Our very first game
Last week we had a seminar during which we were asked to play a game called “Sissyfight 3000”, basically it’s a bullying game in which the players are to gang up against each other.Earlier in the day we had a lecture about the MDA (Mechanichs, Dynamics, Aestethics) so when we had played for a while we were asked to change the dynamics and create our own version of the game. The only thing we had to keep was the “target->action” […]

Problem
Today we got yet another assignment which was to find a subject that might fit into a serious game. Then we should research it and find out its key issues/problems and then we should think how it could be implemented in a video game, and what the game could try and achieve. This is supposed to be written down in around 2-5 pages until friday, so I better find a subject… PRONTO.

Multiplication and addition through binary operations
In order to get more comfortable using bitwise operators such as & | ^ ~ in the course Advanced C++ 2 for games, we received our first sub-assignment. Performing multiplication and addition through binary operations only.
For addition we used the follow algorithm:
We have two integers, 39(0010 0111) and 23(0001 0111).
1. Perform XOR on them and store the results in a new integer we call sum. This will compare the bits of the integer and return a value were the […]

Analysis report, Gloom and other things in mind
I’ve been trying to write a section of my analysis report today. It took me all day to get down just a few words. I can’t believe how rusty I am at this writing thing.So first things first: I started up by writing down a few topics I need to have in the …

Baby steps.
Testing out the new blog I’ve been setting up to use for school thingies. I haven’t really many things to discuss in this post other than I’m super stoked for the rest of the year, can’t wait until I can dig down in a pile of code again! I have been programming for about 4 years but nothing gaming related, mostly arranging numbers and names but hey, I gotta start somewhere right?
