BotBall

Started few weeks ago with my friend a small Scala project called Botball. We wanted to create something simple to study the Akka framework. The idea is to simulate small bots playing a ball game. The thinking was that this is something that can be nicely over-engineered to use Actors :) .

As any good project the start went mostly to sync what has happen in the real life. However, last week I have had some time to spend. The basic structure starts to be implemented. Next step would be to implement the actual game simulation.

Source code can be found from github.

Coder's Block

Coding and drawing is surprisingly close to each other. One thing that I experience in both (and too often) is the Coder's/painter's block. The situation where you would like to code/paint but you just can't either manage to start it or you don't really know what would be fun to do.

Lately I have experienced the coder's block way too many times. Playing with own 3d engine is not always that fun. Perhaps a bit too laborious for random coder like me. On the other hand, engines like Unity makes life just too easy ;)

What's next?
