Coding for Fun… Code n' Play

Lotta — Sun, 24 May 2009 00:03:23 +0000

I rebranded the site… to Code n’ Play.

When I set this site up, about two months ago, I didn’t really have any plans where I wanted to go with it, so I just named it Coding for Fun and downloaded a free WordPress theme to get it started so I had a place to host my Post Snippets plugin for WordPress.

Well, I’ve really enjoyed all the positive response I got from that plugin, and the ambition to make something good out of this site has come as a result of that. So I decided to make my own WordPress theme and rebrand it – to make the site a tad more serious. The theme is done (you’re looking at it right now) except some minor tweaks with the commenting styling, which I’ll do as soon as time permits.

I’ll continue posting updates to my WordPress plugins, as well as releasing new ones. And also I have some articles planned that will surface down the road. Both around WordPress and PHP as well as some other coding platforms that I am working with.

Still, this is just something I do for fun, I have my daytime (and sometimes evening and nighttime) job which takes a decent amount of time, so articles, new plugins and updates will come when they come. But things are cooking!

Cheers, and hope to see you around!

Fix Symmetry for LightWave 3D

Just a quick heads up.

If time allows I have planned to rewrite my Fix Symmetry plugin for LightWave 3D from LScript to a compiled C plugin in 32 and 64 bits versions. I have a few other things planned this weekend as well to complete, but if I get around doing this, I’ll post an article about some useful techniques when working with LightWave plugin development.

A site about Coding

Welcome to my new site about coding. I’m a CG artist, but I have a past as a coder since the Commodore 64 and Amiga days. I still dabble around with coding in my spare time now and then, developing what I find interesting or fun.

It can be anything from writing assembler code on the Amiga to a C++ plugin for the LightWave 3D platform.

As I’ve been coding for a long time, since the end of the 1980′s, I’ve had time to explore tons of different programming languages during the years. Here I’ll write about the languages I use today like C++, Actionscript, Assembler, Python, LScript and PHP.

Oh well, I’ll see what I make out of it, but expect to see code snippets, algorithms and different projects surfacing here. This is something I do for fun, so just don’t expect to see updates daily here. I won’t be as active as I am on my other sites about 3D work, but I hope in time there will be some interesting things posted here to read about.

Cheers!
