Results are in!

After handing in one piece of coursework today, I got the results from another.

For those of you who aren't aware, this particular coursework involved making flowers. This is how mine turned out:





The colour could be changed. Each flower is unique in a lot of ways, dynamically generated and you could have as many flowers as you want. They also animated, blowing in the wind.

Here's the results:



Winnar!

Coursework 2

Since I got back from Ireland, I've been pretty busy with coursework. Due to the ol' Lappy being out of action, I couldn't do a lot over Christmas so I had to work my arse off since I got back.
Which hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be.

The objective was to create a "3D City", which comprised of at least 2 houses, 2 road signs, 2 lamp posts and a crossroads.
Things like texturing, lighting etc. were not required and listed as "possible extras".

In about 3 days, I managed to go from this:


to this:



Even managed to add a couple of nice effects, like fog:



and the big one, lighting:



That was a pain in the arse too, but I think it was worth the trouble.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out, it's not due in until Monday so I have a good bit of breathing space to tweak it and stuff.

By working my arse off during the week, I pretty much have a free weekend which already has went rather well. On Friday night, Nicci came down for a nice big programming session, which was good fun and we managed to achieve a lot, so I'm glad she came down. Now she's went home, so I'm probably going to fiddle a bit more with the OpenGL coursework (see above) and maybe get a start on the next coursework.
Just got one more coursework to get out of the way by next friday and I can relax again. Awesome.

Stupid chargers

Since the last update, I got a replacement charger for my laptop. Which died some 2 or 3 days later.
So I'm still suck on this crappy old thing, despite having piles of coursework to get through.
Oh well.

Things did get moderately better around here since then. New years was fun, watching most of my friends get drunk off their face and proceed to vomit everywhere. Good ol' Dave managed to chunder while the fireworks were still goiong off, at 00:03. What a tit.

Then on thursday of this week, we all went out for a steak together. That was pretty aweseome and they all showed up for once, too. Shocked, I was. Shocked.

And that's Christmas over with for another year, I finally get back to liverpool tomorrow. Can't wait, this place really sucks at times.
And I'm really pissed about the laptop, this old computer can't really handle much, I don't know how I used it for so many years without screaming. I can't watch a video unless it's fully streamed, I can't even play a simple SNES game without lag, I mean what the hell?
All I can really do for entertainment when on this thing is either do coursework and revision (tch, yeah right) or talk to Jen and Nicci on MSN. Or whoever else decides to message me. But even then, THAT lags. I miss my computer. By this time tomorrow I'll hopefully be on a bus back to my humble abode at marybone.
Don't worry, Uber, daddy's comin'!

I have issues, I know.

Now I'm just sitting here procrastinating, all my women have apparently vanished as I wait to go visit my brother. Yey.
