I'm back online I'm not sure for how long... been using the phone...working on my elementary school FPS and games...comic books and high school games and art
My FPS which is what this blog is about I created originally on the Tandy at home I got from cousin Mathew in the 80's when he got a new Pc a Commodore64. My father wrote a FPS back then to... i use to come home from school do things and at night I would work on it in my dads den... I also did my comic books... When we moved to Indiana I did the same things when I came home its how I got the bags under my eyes.. I have to cleanup a bunch of things here...on this blog... straighten things out... My dad back then wrote his own FPS on the Tandy i got from my cousin Mathew...he used my game engine I wrote and I helped him put his FPS on the cassette then transfer it later.... we made backups... my dad was polish too... so I helped him...also helped him with art as I went through things.. I might be able to get a day or two out of my hotspot if I'm lucky... I have been rewriting my Slavic(TM) Gui / Window Manager / Desktop I wrote in high school... right now its just going to be a GUI framework like QT or GTK but mine and for my Nowakowski TM) in house software... just like I did in high school... I am making progress... I have a ton of things to do while trying to get ready to go get my grandma Irenes birth certificate in New York and move on with my life... My skateboard game I made in high school is making progress...there are a lot of things my dad wanted me to redo... we enjoyed working on this stuff and it would help me remember we did other things together other than teeball.. People also didn't like the fact we were interacting as polish father and polish son...creating new ethnic polish traditions and our own polish heritage... I seriously have lot... when i was a kid i wrote on the Tandy a program called "Programmer" it was a IDE like a Amiga... my dad refused to buy me one and said to make my own so I did....I then showed him how to use it and he wrote a version of his FPS game he made in that... he wanted me to rewrite my "Programmer" IDE...My Slavic(TM) is what I'm doing now to rewrite it like he wanted in my Slavic(TM) again....
I made a promise to my dad and I have been keeping them...one my GED to finish high school then now redo the things I did while in high school that we had fun working on again...my video games, my art and eventually my comic books... another was pursue my polish heritage...get my grandma Irenes birth certificate and try to reach out to my Nowakowski and Kosek side... they were both born in New York... the documents I got proves that....my dad's birth certificate and the letters....I have always been proud of being polish... he wanted me to get back to sketching so I would want to do my comic books again... like I was doing before we moved to Indiana... blogging has been helping me deal with things... like I said I have been on my other blog, I will add this one to my phone now that I can log back in.... Its different being alone... I have been dealing with that and after these dogs are gone because they are not mine I will have to drive myself even more... I am hoping when I go to Buffalo, NY its exciting and I get things I need for my polish heritage / lineage and maybe find polish family...
I got so much to do I have to write a TCP server for my games like I did in high school. My sister got some of things i did with my dad the workload would of been so huuge it would of never got redone... All the ones I'm doing were mine from the start....my dads "John Nowakowski's Backyard Shoe" a horseshoe game went to my sister same with his pool game... I never bitched...mine are huuge... My highschool skateboard game is massive... so is my racing game... my FPS got huge when it morphed into a MMO.. me and my dads idea... my dad didn't want any part of it... I was allowed to use parts of my dads FPS he did on my Tandy in it... It helped make it bigger.... I had to make him assets and make him a GUI kit like my Slavic(TM).. I could only use them for so long... so I made my own to replace them and didn't take the GUI away... he had to work a job....long hours... it was never a big deal...only the render engine part....I helped him like I did the first time.... he rewrote his for OpenGL... so did I...
Trying to remember the compiler I wrote in high school my dad took away because I was using it to get around his windows account policies isn't easy... took me about a month to write... it was based on C and pascal... a high level assembler language.. that's how those languages were developed...that's what they are... I can make anything in those two languages... from scratch... how my language I wrote started out.... merged into my video game engine... My dad told me if I named it POLLOCK to get back anyone he was going to throw my ass out...it would still be an insult...to pick a good name for it...something else I have to do again...
In my new Slavic(TM) I got a "WinSlim64.Inc" like I did in high school... things I leaned from the Tandy and importing files... only take what you will need ...so I don't have to link to the runtime or embed the entire thing....just like I did in high school... most people use the SDK wrong... 99.9% of developers use it wrong...I learned the proper way in elementary school...Why polish went with a Tandy! It stated that in the Tandy developer manual!! They were right!!! Oh it's called WinSlim64 because its only for 64bit Windows... I will do a LinSlim64 for 64-bit Linux stuff.. only things required by my Slavic(TM) framework...
