I use a Python script to help generate code, data, and textures for Bok’s Banging Butterflies. However, this script was starting to get unwieldy. At more than 500 lines it was getting harder to find certain sections when modifications needed to be made.
Extracting Data for my Let’s Play
In my Let’s Play of Baldur’s Gate I use a lot of cropped and edited images, and rely heavily on the in-game dialogue to tell the story. As I am a lazy programmer, you may wonder why I spend so much time editing these images.
Return of the Stone Cleric
Aura has rejoined the Troupe, bringing along her clockwork squirrel Muffy and her skills as a tinkerer. Now their journey takes them back south along the Trade Way. They are to go to Nashkel and recruit another priest before their next expedition into the Cloakwood.
Disappointing Beach in Mui Ne
After spending some time in Ho Chi Minh City, it was time to move onto to somewhere more relaxing. Mui Ne would be the next destination – a small fishing town on the south-east coast with a sizeable beach.
A Month in X-COM: UFO Defense
I’ve been revisiting an old classic. One of, if not the earliest PC game I ever played. As a teenager I would plan out bases and send soldier on missions in an attempt to repel the UFO invasion.
Doing Spawn Eggs Properly
Spawn eggs were almost an afterthought in Bok’s Banging Butterflies. They worked, but the experience was rough. Not all entities had spawn eggs, and most eggs looked identical. With 61 butterfly and moth species, it was almost impossible for players to know what they were spawning.
The Best Anti-Piracy Software
I watched as Windows shut down and the computer restarted. The familiar Windows didn’t appear once it booted up. Instead a black screen with some white text ending with C:>. My fingers tapped on the keyboard. A blue screen appeared asking for sound card settings.
Falling Stars and Haunted Hearts
On their second expedition into the Cloakwood, Aegon and his Troupe assaulted the spider’s den. They wiped out the entourage of the creature within, but it cost them the lives of Breagar and Imoen.
Crawling the Cu Chi Tunnels
During the war, Vietnam defended itself using guerilla warfare, relying on stealth and sabotage to fight a superior military power. To support this, the Vietcong had a vast network of tunnels that lay beneath much of the country.
I Completed Miracle Sudoku
I’ve been playing the puzzles in this game on and off for months. Now, after 74 hours in this game, I have completed all 100 puzzles. This will now be the 8th game I’ve full completed in my Steam Library. Only 430 to go.
