Stage 2
Well I’m now onto stage 2 of development, which means player maps now are created as well as DM maps
I am wondering though, if DM maps should be created in an isometric view, and leave the 2d to the player map
A player map is one that indicates where the doors, chests, and Walls are, but leaves out enemy’s, skeletons, and traps that way there is abit of a suprise when you see one....

Game Development
Well properly a good idea to start blogging about the game and it’s development
Synapsis: I decided to write a game that uses webgl, and is based on the d&d world, but it will will have it’s content created by the users
Now: so I started with the interface, and have got most of the site layout sorted, it still needs graphics, but that’s why I’ve bought an Inkling so...

Works favourite pattern
The Intersperser Pattern scatters pieces of functionality throughout a system, making a function impossible to test, modify, or understand.

IE 6,7
I think as a community we can finally stop supporting them,
Wikipedias stats say that only 8% use that, and since Wikipedia isn’t blocked and doesnt say anything to stop ie6 (unlike facebook) I think it’s a fairly safe stat

Budget
Well it’s budget time again, or as I like to call it incredibly complicated math time,
It always ends in me paying more money and everyone saying I’m paying less
So what’s my predictions,
Petrol increased
Cigs increased (doesn’t effect me)
Min alcohol price (I mostly buy expensive stuff anyway)
And tax allowance reduced, so I have a whole 50p more
Council tax increased...

Dialects
I wish people would understand that just because a framework is written in PHP does not mean you know how to code for it
The best way to think of a framework is like a dialect, in china there are hundreds of dialects, two villages 100 miles apart will both speak chinese but words are different

Mass deaths
Has anyone noticed that the places that most Mass Deaths of animals is happening, is in the bible belt, surely that’s a good indication god isn’t happy with people praying at him and going to his house constantly, rather than he’s upset with the rest of the world
Mad TaxMan
As everyone in the UK knows, VAT has gone up, but did you know the things you can pay tax on ??
for example, Sanitary Towels (lady products) are tax free, Honey bees are tax free, but here is the mad part, Bumble Bees have VAT, that’s right if you purchase Bumble Bees (who would do this exactly, since honey bees can also pollinate and don’t have VAT) then you pay 20% tax on them
