Days go by, and still I think about you

Despite all the negative critism by the users I was truly impressed when I saw the new tech demo for the PS3, titled "Linger In Shadows". Although very abstract, I was highly impressed with the close ups on the cat and the fur shaders. This comes a long way from Shadow of the Colossus. Other points that impressed me were the rope physics, and the depth of field (some of which I expect to be demonstrated in Insomniacs upcoming game).

This is a quick share. If you have further understanding of the graphics system please share with me what you might have thought after a closer look.

I'm truly, truly, truly excited about this month. I'm finally putting in the hours to learn and apply AI. I woke up at at 4 am, and at 5 am I was on campus, reading Artificial Intelligence for Games by Ian Millinigton. Although we spent half of lecture going over the silly-bus, and some more time on Dishonesty Policies, we eventually got down to business. Of course that only meant going over what AI is, and the three basic Data Structures: Linked Lists (Queues), Hashmaps, and Trees.

Since several people did not finish the lab on time Jeremiah did provide an extension for it which is largely due to the fact that lecture ended rather late.

So it sounds like the first day wasn't overly exciting, and next class isn't two days from now. What in the world will keep me busy until than?

The answer! Robocode! At the moment it's me and Casey Flach in a team for the monthly competition. My goal is nothing short of first place in Hall of Fame! Anyways feel free to check out the rules here.
