I was just watching some of Michio Kaku’s (physicist) videos and found some that caught my eye. So I decided to post them here:

The Search for Antimatter

Which Came First: The Galaxy or the Black Hole

He’s a really cool guy, I suggest that you go check him out!

I finally decided to use some libraries: LWJGL(Light Weight Java Gaming Library) and TWL’s PNGDecoder. I am currently working on the block display system, a tedious task. A screenshot:

Please note that this is still in the pre-pre-pre-alpha prototype.

I will attempt to get a site working with the game on it sometime soon.

I will also try to make regular posts on my status of the game.

Anybody got any game ideas(Ideas here)? I’ll make your game and publish it as a playable link below.

I was browsing the web today, looking for model rocket simulators. I found Apogee Rockets and looked at their software, RockSim. I thought it looked great, but thought it was a bit too expensive. Then I saw OpenRocket and thought it was great (and free)! I had a bit of a time using it, but it worked. Then I tried selecting a motor. Then I found out that Apogee Rockets has a chart which helps you figure out what engine you need. Handy!
