“I heard police or ambulancemen, standing in our house, say, “She must have provoked him,” or, “Mrs Stewart, it takes two to make a fight.” They had no idea. The truth is my mother did nothing to deserve the violence she endured. She did not provoke my father, and even if she had, violence is an unacceptable way of dealing with conflict. Violence is a choice a man makes and he alone is responsible for it.”-Patrick Stewart

15 ton electromagnet hits the road.
A 50 foot wide electromagnet (shown above in a scale model) is taking a five week road trip and cruise from its home in Brookhaven National Lab in New York to the Fermi National Accelerator Lab in Illinois.
Initially a truck will carry it to a barge, before shipping down the Atlantic, around Florida, then up the Mississippi River to Illinois.
The US$3 million move is still cheaper than constructing a new magnet which could be up to $30 million. Fermi Laboratory will use the magnet to study particle physics.

So ehmm I’ve been working on my first game. I am writing it in Java because the GUI stuff seems to be a little bit easier to get going then what I saw from C++, even though I have way more experience with C++.
I have an idea for the concept but at the moment I am mostly working on learning skills and creating resources.
So far I have:
Next is a level loading mechanism which I am going to base on what Notch did for one of the Ludum Dare’s he basically loads a png where each color pixel represents a different style of tile. So you can literally draw your levels. Seems like a convenient way of doing it.
I am incredibly excited to work on this and I can’t wait to show you all how things progress. Watch this space :-)
