Agile Cutter (space ship)

Haven't made anything worth posting in a while... A loong while. But now I couldn't sleep 'cause I wanted to design a space ship. It turned out like I had imagined it too, which is unusual. Maybe I'll add color at some point too.

It's heavily inspired by the game Star Citizen, especially the Cutlass.

Edit: Made another one. Even better! I really need to make some kind of game at some point.

Winter hike

And so I took my camera and went out... The tracks are of a squirrel.

Also saw a white tailed deer, but didn't get a post-worthy picture of it.

Red Roids updates

Got around to coding on my game Red Roids again. Here are some screenshots of the updates:

Added aim sight (the two yellow stripes in front of ship)
Added ship health display for self and target (Green to yellow to red to gone)
Added parallax star field background
Ships get damage from bumping into each other (with particle effects)
Ships spawn in smaller groups
A new game begins after a team has won (Fleet size grows for every new game)
The zoom-view is now a toggle and is adjusted to always show all the ships
New and shiny main menu which can be navigated by either mouse or keyboard

The source code is available on github and should be compilable on any platform supported by SDL: github.com/nailbar/Red-Roids

Random Terrain (HTML5)

I finally learned how plasma fractals work. Now I can do this:

Another HTML5 experiment

Going further with the Neural Network thingy I now made a simple self-driving race simulator where the cars practice on their own behalf and then race against each other.

Simple Jet model

A rather quick sketch modeled rather quickly in Wings3D. Yay. Moving on...

Edit: Added another quickie.

HTML5 testing

Evolving bugs
Played with what I think is neurological networks (it's my first try so don't judge me :-P) and made a small simulation of bugs looking for food. There's no learning going on, but an evolutionary process using cloning and mutation is used to make them better.
