Worked all day on formatting (and eventually reformatting >_>) my mac book. Installing linux as a separate partition for development. Almost finished. ...

So after a long and fruitless process we finally finished retooling the first animation test tool. The current version displays the average time it takes to display a frame which we can then use to determine how many frames are being displayed each second. Later tonight JT plans to continue refining the program so that it gives us this information directly and so that it works for all of the file formats. Ideally tomorrow morning we will have preliminary test results that will tell us how effect ...

So it is still the third day but I thought the blog deserved an update for what's going on right now. Basically JT and I have run into a problem with our testing. Our original plan for testing was to have an image on the screen that was moving across the screen in a specific pattern and was constantly cycling between a set of images. Then once the test program was up and running we would then use the terminal program, 'htop' to record the CPU cycles and memory use. The goal here was to determine ...

So it is the third day and JT and I are on track to start testing today and continue through with that till tomorrow. Yesterday we made a test program and we are now working towards enhancing that program to fill some needs we did not think of yesterday. I will put out more updates as far as how our tests are going tomorrow. ...

I found some pretty cool jQuery calendar widgets that would work better than the rather ugly calendar already in place on the New York Senate page. First is a continuous calendar ...

Time to start getting down to business - planning was nearly completely finished. Today will be dedicated to setting up SOAS on my macbook and wiping the 1.0 and setting up a 1.5. Time for lunch! ...

Today is my second day "on the job". Yesterday evening I spent a lot of time getting to know the TurboGears framework and the structure of a quickstart project, and I think I've got a pretty good understanding. I made a sample form just to test it out, and today I plan to make more progress and really get to know how things work around here. - Kate Dubuisson ...

So it is 10 AM the second day of the quarter and I am getting ready to start working. Last night I took the time to recreate all of the Fortune Hunter images in 9 unique formats which included, 3 different types of BMPs, GIFs, PNGs, and 4 different levels of quality of JPEGs. While I did that, JT setup the XO laptop so that he and I could look at the system stats while we test each type of image. So that's what we are doing today, running tests to determine what works best as an image format on ...

My name's Scott JT Mengel, I'm a student at RIT enrolled in their Medical Informatics program and this project is my first studio setting game programming experience. Previously I've worked at the University of Rochester as a game programmer, making software for the treatment of amblyopia. Beyond that, I've gone to school at the Rocky Mountain School of Art and Design and RIT (for a time) for animation; my purpose in this project is to take my background with animation and programming and make t ...

Hello word, my name is Kate and I'll be working this summer on CIVX. I'm a computer science student here at RIT and I'm looking forward to learning a lot while on this project! ...
