Hi guys,
I have a few updates here.
Data death:
I am sitting here now, with a new, healthy hard drive, with all the data,
checked in by the recovery specialist about half an hour ago. Therefore data
death is data now revived.
I can now begin full support for X-Sight again, that is providing none of the
data is corrupted. I shouldn't imagine it is though, I played a full game of
the new Acefire and ran several other of my programs on it with no problems.
Additionally, I now have further methods and sources of backup storage, so
hopefully this should not happen again.
Programming progress:
After hours and months of looking at tutorials from websites, CD's etc, and
being personally tutored on the glories of C, and not getting anywhere with it,
I have decided, at least for the time being, to continue using VB, my former
development platform. This may not be a permanent arrangement, but at least I
won't be sat here bored to death while feeling like the C compiler is
practically screaming angry insults at me, I will be able to continue support
for my old titles, releasing patches, etc, and I may also be able to make a
smooth transition from VB to C/C++ without any delays when I finally grasp it.
I can understand the syntax no problem, having previously made an attempt on
writing a PHP chat system, however the complex methods of Windows programming,
such as memory management, pointers and multithreading, are all very mixed
inside my fuzzled up brain. I know their function, but can never properly write
their code or use them in the correct situations.
Therefore I have retired from this avenue, at least until I can afford more
intense personal tuition on the subject.
I hope none of you mind, and am always open for comments, suggestions, etc.
Other updates:
Now I have the correct equipment I will be doing a little bit more than my
software/game development, and that will be released and updated a lot more
frequently, but that is off topic and can be seen in more detail on the website.
Thanks.
Regards,
Damien C. Sadler.
