PP (PewPew) and PP2 (PewPew 2) haven't been compatible with modern devices for a couple of years now as I focused on PPL (PewPew Live), but the persistent stream of emails and comments from folks wanting to play them made me want to re-release them.

When aiming for a fully deterministic program, it is common knowledge that you have to deterministically seed your random number generators, be careful about multithreading, and the floating point computations.

Occasionally someone will asked how I obtained the PPL look.

I wanted to write this post for a while.

You usually use the C library gettext with a _() macro that returns a localized version of the text passed in parameter.

Note: This post was initially written in 2013, right after the release of Pacifism.

PewPew Live was released today on Android!

I'm working on PewPew's sequel, for which I've revamped the graphics.

So!

I have been working on prototypes for games for a while now.

I was watching the live broadcast of the Google IO when I got the pleasant surprise of seeing PewPew 2 as the (currently displayed) recommended app.

I am hosting PewPew's scores on the Google App Engine.

When writing this post I often wrote "iCon" instead of "icon"...

Today, while doing my daily googling of PewPew-related news, I found a piano version of PewPew's main theme!

At one point during the development of PewPew, I wanted the players to be able to enter their name for the online high scores and replays.

Quick post to say that I released an update for both PewPew and PewPew 2, that includes a new game mode called Asteroids.

I was until very recently doing an internship in Singapore.

While it's true that Android's openness cause fragmentation which increases the work of the developers, it also allows the creation of new markets and opportunities.

When reading other's developers blog, I always appreciate reading the posts about the number of downloads.

Here's an interview I gave for droidgamers.com.

One day has passed, and PewPew is doing well.

The title pretty much says it all.

Currently my work has shifted from developing PewPew to porting it to several different phone OS.

I finally submitted to the App Store updated versions of PewPew and PewPew 2!

I am porting PewPew to the Bada OS.
