Ventures of an ex indie game developer

D.O.G.C.R.A.P

My Apple TV 4 arrived today along with my developer credentials for the bargain price of 10 SEK (~$1). Apple is eager to get developers to build stuff for tvOS so they get the pull they need to market it. I might port NSAgent; its controls is simple enough for the touch surface on the Siri remote I guess. But first I need to download 6 GB of junk updates from Apple (I never keep my shitty Mac on).

While I hate the useless interface on Mac OS, I think iOS is brilliant. Hopefully they've managed to pull off a great feat and make an equally good one with tvOS. I haven't even fiddled with an Apple TV 3rd Gen or lower before so this should be interesting.

Apart from that I've finished most of the tiny game I've been working on lately, "ProgWar" or "Programmer Wars." I settled with an API where you get updates on opponents' positions every X seconds. You should be able to build an acceptable AI in perhaps fifty lines of code. I'll challenge my colleagues for a programmer duel TO THE DEATH!!! as soon it's done. Another 5 hours possibly (I've spent probably 20 already), as usual about 3.14 times longer than I thought. Somehow everything gets better on small projects. Note to self: Dodge the Outrageous Grind on Computers Relentlessly And Perpetually!!! DOGCRAP.
