Everending DevBlog 61: Slow and Steady
I have remarkably little to talk about this week. I’ve been putting the hours in, but they’ve all been towards porting existing code into Haxe. At first, I found this task tedious and demoralizing, but as I get deeper into…
Eve DevBlog 60: Changes
I’m not quite sure how this week happened the way it did. I started looking up methods of doing rapid pixel calculations in Flash, and from there I found Pixel Bender. Pixel Bender is a fragment shader language that, as…
Eve DevBlog 56: A Slow Week

Eve DevBlog 50: Low Blow
Well, it’s been a really weird and depressing week, but not actually too bad in terms of productivity. I’m still mired in animation work, but the light is definitely starting to show at the end of the tunnel! First, I…
A Real Sum of a Glitch
