Web developer tries to be a game developer
I’ve been working as a freelancer web developer since 2010. That’s quite a long run. But even longer, I am a passionate gamer. Ever since my first computer (C64) in the year 1989 it was all about games and programming. But never at the same time. While gaming is still a nice hobby, my main work is developing web applications and websites for clients all around the world.
With this blog, I am trying to document my progress in trying and failing developing a game.

Implementing a low-cost Astar algorithm
First of all, I am very proud that I finally implemented the A*-algorithm. I took me quite a while to understand it. Of course – once you understood, it seems so simple. But the way to get there is definitely not. And I am saying this with a programmer background (but completely different industry) of…

First time combined ui views with world map
Big step for me today, even if it doesn’t look like much. Because today I combined both worlds.

Clothing and backgrounds added
I added some self drawn backgrounds and added a clothing layer to the bigger avatars. Also I take advantage of the modulation of textures.
