Update: If you're in the SF area but aren't attending GDC, drop me an e-mail. It looks like I'll be doing the presentation at the Adobe building downtown, and of course, they don't charge you thousands of dollars to get in. :)
Howdy!
What have I been up to since October of last year?
Well, I wrote an chapter on clipmaps for Game Programming Gems 7. It goes into details on how you can implement a clipmap texturing system similar to what's in Atlas. Useful if you're implementing your own terrain system or just want to learn more of the theory behind that part of Atlas.
This was also my first time being published in a real book. It's pretty dang surreal to see your name in print, much less an article you wrote coming right after it. Weird. :)
I'm also giving a talk at GDC on Tamarin, the scripting runtime behind Flash. Looking for a good scripting runtime? Come to this talk and see why Tamarin might be just what you're looking for.
Finally, you may be wondering about the forest pack, which has a few bugs in the latest TGE release. I'm looking for a contractor to fix those bugs, because I'm simply too busy to do it myself. Are you a sharp TGE coder? Get in touch with me (beng AT garagegames DOT com) and we can work something out.
