Starting a company involves a lot of paperwork, John and I reminisce about various hacks they would use to make their college papers look longer.

I upgraded his laptop with an SSD that John gifted me, and I go on to describe the nightmarish process that I had to go through to get the machine up and running. But all of that was totally worth it because every machine should have an SSD.

John talks about how he’d like to use jekyll to handle blog posts and publishing content on our company website. We also talk about Jekyll Bootstrap a bit.

A friend of the show, Ed Shwehm and crew, launched a new podcast: GAEMZCAST! Check them out. It’s very good.

Get off my lawn is a isometric tower defense game that they are building together.

Show notes after the break!

Show Notes:

  • The guys discuss DIY.org and how it reminds them of Forrst and Highlights magazine, and this poster
  • Jared discusses how to make a better fence tile for their game (seriously, these are the things we talk about)
  • Jared talks about how Impactjs handles timers. ImpactJS uses a frame-based timing system so that things happen in game-time not real-time. The guys dig deeper into the Impact engine code and discuss how the timer works.
  • Jared and John discuss the differences between timer-based execution paths and frame-based execution paths
  • Both of the guys are enjoying game development because it involves thinking about problems very differently from their day-to-day jobs
  • Jared describes some of the gripes that he has with the current framework that they are building and how things might be done better
  • Jared talks about his experience with the weltmeister level editor for ImpactJS, Jared tries to sell John on docking his chrome dev tools window to the right of the chrome window, John doesn’t appear to be sold
  • Jared talks about his blog series “Getting started with NodeJS on Windows“
  • Somehow we end up talking about The Birdcage
