For anyone that is using the Advanced Custom Field Widget, I can confirm that it is compatible with version 2.8 of WordPress.

I have a few plans for things I want to include in version 0.6 but I’m a bit tied up with work and one or two other things at the moment. As soon as my current urgent commitments are finished, I plan on knuckling down and getting 0.6 finished off and released.

Who would have thought LittleBigPlanet would have such an impact on my blog. In writing my tutorial section about logic and game control mechanics in LBP, I needed to provide some sidebar content on pages (as opposed to posts) that was common to a group of pages. As a consequence, ACFW has had a couple of tweaks this evening.

Visit the ACFW page for more information (links to the page and to download the latest version are in the sidebar).

I’ve just published two of my side projects. Check out the new ‘Projects’ section or read on for some details.

Yes, thats right… my first ever slice of cake… not the yummy kind… the framework kind, and I have to say I’m impressed. I have this madly simple idea for a neat website, but I don’t want to commit weeks of work to it only to watch it crash and burn (potentially). So I’ve been looking around for frameworks for developing web apps… looked at Ruby on Rails… nice, but needed what seemed like an inordinate amount of effort to set up… then I came across CakePHP. What a revelation. (more…)

After last nights post about implementing ORE, I tried a few more experiments in the hope that I’d be able to achieve my goal of having a BDS compiled EXE load an FPC compiled DLL and share objects between the two. (more…)

Its been a bit of a slow week (and a bit) for ORE. Firstly… design… it doesn’t half get in the way and secondly… nice in theory… hellish in practice… my theories about how to shift data around the system have largely evaporated. (more…)

Following some feedback from PGD, I’ve made a few changes to lcount. Read on for details. (more…)

I was curious about how many lines of code were in one of my projects so I did a quick search on google, couldn’t find any software to count the lines in files that wasn’t shareware/commercial, so I wrote one. If you want a quick and dirty line counter for Windows, read on (more…)

The PGD Annual is a game programming competition… its pretty unique in that one of its core values is that your entry must be written with Pascal.

This years competition is in full swing (thankfully I’m judging this year, so it only gets hectic for me around each stage deadline) and here is a short video showing some of the highlights from some of the entries so far. (more…)

Well, after nearly 12 months of no action, I’ve decided its about time to resurrect our PGD competition entry from 2006. I’ve also decided that although we’re going to try and sell it, I’m going to keep a track of how things are progressing with the project on here. (more…)
