I rarely need to post any side projects on here because normally I could just go outside and take pictures but in these interesting times I have to resort to expanding my content pool. Here is a selection of 640x480 shots from a game I have been writing in the C programming language. The target platform is the Nintendo Wii and to answer you question; no I will not write an app so you can play it on your cellphone. Enjoy the colours.
Game development is a slow meticulous process and what you get out of it is this ball of stuff that some people like or they try it for 4 minutes and never play it again. It is certainly not a hobby for everyone and some people make games for a living. But for me I get enjoyment out of putting things together and research how to achieve certain effects.

I rarely take pictures in black and white. I need to up my camera game. My old Canon Powershot Elph 300HS point and shoot has been showing its age for a while now. I can still take good pictures with it but it requires an increasing amount of effort, patience and adequate lighting. Things which are hard to come by when shooting wild like I do most of the time. Plus I do not like to do post-processing on my pictures so if I can get them in a decent quality straight out of the camera then that would save me a ton of time.
Post processing is all the rage now with the rise of instagram filters and snap chat. The less real a picture looks the more interesting it is to the human eye. You can watch a video of a trip to Paris and then you visit it and you realize that the colours do not pop as much as you thought they would. But alas a new camera with a bigger sensor will bring less noise and the added in body stabilization I will end up with fewer blurry pictures. Now I just have to find the perfect compromise between size, price and quality.
