Working Late, Studing hard

still at work and just implemented a mini map for the game, it is not so much a mini map as an actual map that tracks specific positions where the player will take measurements...

don't ask me why, it is just part of the requirements, but I am very happy because I spend 8 hours working on all thee images and locations to map the dots into the image...



well for more info on this just check my blog on the tgedev.blogspot.com
some lame images of what I have been doing :P


I have also been keeping myself busy studying, in particular for the Emergent and adaptative computation class. Basically study evolutionary, adaptative and genetic algorithms that will be applied on individuals or cells (in a computational system) to produce organized and coherent behavior. this is particularly good when we have problems where the domain of the answer is too big to be analyzed, or the answer is constantly changing due to changes in the environment that it resides. there for we use several small individuals that could come up with rules that will be tested over time and changed or evolved over time to get better rules that will eventually lead us to the answer... I do not recommend to read more about this unless you are totally into the evolutionary and adaptative computation thing, and since I know most of my readers will not care, they probably did not make it all the way here, I know that my advice is a given...

One of the most important things I have been learning in my life lately is the fact that I need to repent constantly of my sins, of many of my actions, and patters of behavior form the past. In order to do this I also need to identify what are the idols that I have in me. I used to think that idols where all the images that the Catholics worship, but I understood that some people in my life where some of my idols, all things that I rely on to make me happy, on circumstances that will give me pleasure or any thing that is self center.

I know this is bad, but believe me I did not know I had so many idols in my life, and I didn't know that I was mad at God for not giving me those idols when I wanted them, and the obvious reason to this is that all these idols where taking the place of glory that ONLY belongs to God. Many idols are not bad in itself, they are bad when they become gods in our liefs. I think I will elaborate a little more on this applied on my own life since I will be listening to the mars hill message about this topic once more.

To all of you who care I love you.
