AaB Victory

I have vacation this week, that’s just what I needed. I spent the first weekend partying, then I went home Sunday to Tuesday where I did virtually nothing except watching football Sunday afternoon, AaB was soo close to beating Brøndby but striker Zelinsky failed to score on a 99% percents chance :(. Other than that, I wrote last time that I was looking forward to Denmarks last group match in the preliminaries to the World Cup against Iceland. That match was incredible! We won six to nothing and downtown Ã…rhus exploded in football songs, soo fun :).

The Quake 2 BSP Level LoaderI’ve finally started coding my own quake2 level loader, I’ve been wanting to do that for quite some time now. The screenshot shows the progress so far. As you can see I’ve only extracted the vertex and edge data so far, but as soon as I finish the rest of the crucial parts (textures and such) I’ll upload the program with source as usual.

I had some huge difficulties with the code to start with, the data I loaded in made no sense, I spent several hours debugging without finding the solution, then I looked further op the file and saw this line which loads the .bsp file:

in.open(filename, ios::binary | ios::in | | ios::nocreate);

The error had completely missed my attention since it was as simple as a single pipe, after changing that line to:

in.open(filename, ios::binary | ios::in | ios::nocreate);

Everything worked like it should. Dammit, that was a stupid bug, I have to stop programming so late at night, those bugs will kill me someday.

Well, my parents are visiting tonight so I’m taking them out for dinner, see ya.

Demo Party Food

I need to get away from the heap of math assignments currently waiting to be made :(. So this is a very offtopic post, well, most of my posts lately have been offtopic since it’s been a couple of weeks since I actually produced something cool :). (I made alot of small Java apps for the course at uni, but they are extremely simple and very boring).

Ever wondered what kind of food you eat at a demoparty? I dug up this picture which I took at the mekka symposium 2001, I had mashed potatoes and every day since it was cheap and fairly eatable. Demo Party Food(well, barely eatable). When I think about it, the only thing good about it is that it’s easy to make :). (don’t tell any organizers that you’re plugging a 2000W eletric kettle to the overloaded powergrid though).

I’m looking very forward to saturday, it’s the day of the final qualifiers for the world cup 2002. Denmark is currently leading it’s group with a small margin to Bulgaria and the Czech Republic, and the final game is against Iceland. I’ll go to a pub with some friends in full red and white clothes, it’ll be a blast. Downtown Aarhus will explode if we win that match, that’s for sure!

Well, I need to get back to the math, dammit :(. As always, comments, criticism and suggestions goes to my inbox and are very welcome, spam goes to /dev/null.
