Unity 3d

So this last week has been rough. I haven't had any motivation to do any programming; until yesterday. Yesterday I stumbled upon 3dbuzz.com. I ran across it while I was looking for 3d modelling tutorials. Since then I've been watching their videos on a simple game in unity 3d. I love the videos and I'm working my way through them. Much of what they talk about is geared at people who don't have a programming background but they go into such detail with everything that even though I am a c# developer I still have much to learn about Unity and the framework.

I actually want to use these tutorials to work on my iPhone game and get it cleaned up and working nicely. Should be fun if I can do that!

CSS3 and web design

These last few weeks I've done almost nothing with regard to the game. I'm notorious for doing lots of behind the scenes work, but when it comes to how something looks, I fight with it. I mean I really fight with it. It stops me from accomplishing anything while I play and tweak the look of just one screen.

I've finally started taking to having a stack of 10 square/inch graph paper and I usually scale it 10 px per block and draw out my screens. Since I've done that I can focus on getting it to look correctly.

I use tutsplus.com to get most of my CSS3 and HTML5 information. It is a big help when trying to figure out how to make the screen look just right. They also give several tips on how to work with multiple browsers and how to use jQuery and jQuery UI.
