Some bullet points from the book to help me remember what I've learned.

Rust: A Test Driven Guide

Published: 2025-12-23

A tour of Rust for the experienced programmer driven by tests. We're all writing tests, right?! I wrote this to help me learn the language as efficiently as possible. It's not exhaustive (but it is long!). It should allow me to start writing some code. It'll also serve as a reference.

I've been using Neovim 0.5 (nightly) for several months now and I think I've finally found a setup I'm happy with.

It's a been a while. I've been busy building my engine/game, throwing it out and starting again, again!

Text rendering with OpenGL and F#

Published: 2020-01-16

Unlike WebGL, rendering text in OpenGL is a bit more complicated. Here's how I went about it with F#.

Automated Testing In F# With Expecto

Test or Behaviour Driven Development has been a staple in my workflow for years. Now that I've got some familiarity with F# it's time to get serious.

OpenGL Library Choice

Published: 2019-11-08

WebGL interfaces directly with JavaScript, OpenGL is natively C. So we need some bindings in F# or C# to allow us to interface with OpenGL. To add further complications we also need to handle Window initialization which can get pretty tricky when dealing with multiple platforms.

Whoah! Over a year since I posted updates! Selling our house and all our stuff and moving into a van is time consuming! In that time I've had a chance to re-evaluate some of the choices I made when starting this project.

Code Style and Functional Programming

Published: 2018-07-08

In this article I discuss my choice of coding style and also touch on functional programming. It's something I've been studying for a while and I'm slowly trying to introduce into my work. Both these things will affect the style of code I post on this blog.

More JavaScript Physics

Published: 2018-05-06

Physics will play an important role in this game and the performance of the physics engine is a crucial factor. I've spent a bit more time tweaking the comparison and trying out ideas.

Under promise and over deliver! Last week I said I'd be releasing a demo of 3 physics engines I've been comparing. Well guess what?! I've got 4 to show you!

Language and framework choice

Published: 2018-04-08

I've considered a number of different languages to write a game in. From C to Elm. Certainly C is the most widely used. Elm probably being the least widely used. Ruby is what I use most these days. So why did I choose JavaScript? Let's take a brief look at languages I considered and why I ruled them out.
