Back in the early 90s, one company was on the bleeding edge of PC gaming: Origin Systems.

To be a good Software Engineer can mean different things depending on what one is trying to achieve.

Since I left my job at Amazon I have spent a lot of time reading great source code.

When I started game programming I ran into an issue common to most aspiring game developers: The naive infinite loop resulted in many problems (among then difficulties to record a game session properly) that led the game design to feature convoluted and c…

Since I had one week before my next contract I decided to finish my "cycle of id".

Virtual Reality headsets have been consistently disappointing for several decades.

On November 23, 2011 id Software maintained the tradition and released the source code of their previous engine.

I received yesterday a copy of Ghost In The Wire Paperback edition.

This is probably the proudest moment of my Computer Science career so far: On April 17th, 2012 the Government of Ontario released the Mobile Website I designed and implemented for the major part of 2011.

How SDD drives took my breath away...

Six months ago I released the source code of "SHMUP": a modest indie 3D shoot'em up designed for iOS.

Back in winter 2009 I was working pretty hard on the 3D engine that would power my next iPhone/iPad game: "SHMUP".

Every once in a while I receive an email from a fellow programmer asking me what language I used for one of my games and how I learned it.

I have decided to release a free version of "SHMUP".

I bought "Blade infinity" yesterday.

I was reading an article on planetbeing's blog the other day and my curiosity was tipped off when he mentioned that phones don't run only one operating system but two.

I took some time away from programming something I hope will become a really good shmup and read the source code of Doom for iPhone.

Before studying the iPhone version, it was important for me to understand how Doom engine WAS performing rendition back in 1993.

I had to do some low level work with Mac OS X snow-leopard using my MacBookPro CoreDuo2.

Today I took a day off from work to attend the iPhone Apple Tech Talk 2009 in Toronto.
