The Third First

Hello noone,
Third times a charm eh? One more attempt at rebooting this blog, hopefully to document my experiences in game development, my views on games and life in general.

First some explaination of the title:
thegameloop is exactly what it says. A game is created by repetedly drawing the world on the screen and updating whatever is in the world based on whatever should affect the world. As such its a loop unless you tell it to stop, kind of how life is right now. Every game has one of these on some level or the other and its probablly one of the first things you'd want to answer when someone asks you 'how do you make games', which people will. A lot.

Life in texels at 60fps is how life is right now. Texels being the basic unit of a texture apparently (though i dont see the word used anywhere at all) and 60fps being the numbe of times above mentioned game loop is supposed to refresh itself.

What I am hoping to do with this blog is to try and put out an opinon and share my experiences in game development and about games, interspaced with the occasional rant about life.

I hope this will be the last first and i hope you find this blog informative and thought provoking.
