Looks like I’m a winner in the 18th IOCCC (The International Obfuscated C Code Contest). The winning entry was classified as “Most sonorous output” category.

Back from the GDC and experiencing a bit of jet lag for first time. :-) The event was great! Additionally I went to the Khronos OpenGL ES coding challenge demo festival to find out that I won the 1st place in the Demo/Special FX category! My entry was an OpenGL ES version of the San Angeles Observation 4 KB intro I contributed to the Assembly’2004. Also source code is included in the package!

Got the results from the 5th Ludum Dare 48 hour game development competition. I won the 1st place in both innovation and production categories, which is two out of three of the main voting categories! I have now added the game to the creations Blight Warrior page as well.

Other nice news is that the Gizmondo is shipping, and the Stuntcar Extreme® is available for it as well.

I have recently released the Turska UI library as open source. The first version of Turska was created for the Truck Dismount – Rekkaturvat game. Since then it has been cleaned up a bit and the Dismount Levels is naturally using it as well. The API and features of the library itself are still very much in development. Nevertheless two additional projects are already using it. The Turska project page development is hosted in the SourceForge.net Google Code.

Updated the Pathogen Warrior game to new version. If you are wondering what is Pathogen Warrior, it is my entry to the 4th Ludum Dare 48 hour game development competition. It placed 2nd in the combo score category and 3rd in the innovation category.
