Yak shaving on a stupid library that let's me create multidimensional tables in a pleasant manner.

Code:

tabular(2):by(3):by(4):fill(function (a, b, c)
  return a + 2 * b + c^2
end)

Still working on implementing multiplayer. Just finished my third rewrite!

I had a bug where Player 1 would join properly, but Player 2 would fail to get the level & gamemode info. The way I'd written the connection code was to broadcast Player 2's connection to everyone and then spam connect packets back to Player 2 for everyone else on the server. Found out that ENet was giving me packets out of order, making Player 2 process the Player 1 connect packet (which is just an ID) before processing it's own connect packet (which contains all the necessary info)..

It's fixed now, so I can finally get back to work writing position and action packets

Did you have to fix this yourself or did you just change something with enet? I'm considering using it someday and I thought it was able to keep UDP packets in order, but your post put me in doubt

Not right now but well ...

I'm doing a puzzle platformer with control over terrain (tile-based),

Currently making the linear interpolation system for each block

I fixed it myself using enet. All I had to do was call enet_host_flush() just after the broadcast call. I'm going to mention it in ENet IRC and see if I did something wrong, if not at least they'll know of a possible issue.

But don't think ENet isn't good. ENet is AMAZING. When I was searching for a network library it was the only one that ticked all the boxes. It's just functions. It doesn't force any patterns on you or anything, everything is up to you and the API is very clean & simple. ENet +1

I'm finishing a (C++ template) system which allow me to group
 - group pools of objects of different type together;
 - have all live instances of the objects be updated at the same time (in one update call);
 - objects are updated by type, and other considerations which mean less cache miss;
 - access to objects in the system from outside the system is allow only through "monitored" access: you have to provide tasks to apply to the object and it will be executed only when all objects are updated (there is also a way to access the object in an thread-unsafe way);

Why is it useful? To allow me to gather different kinds of objects together that should always be updated together in a synchronous way (like all graphic objects) but still have a simple way to manipulate these objects from different threads.

It would simplify a lot most of my current code. We'll see!

A level editor in Unity wherein you describe little micro-chunks of level that will be strung together.  Editor scripting is fuuuuun.

Programming a web-based multiplayer game and messing with Unity. Oh you guys really should check out Spine (a 2d animation tool like Spriter) by Esoteric Software. Looking forward for its Unity plugin to mess up with soon as I need it else I can't move on with the Unity one.

Working on a platformer game for android.
Off topic, I really want to learn C++ game development as most of the game development jobs require fluency in C++. So where to start?

I made the mistake of starting gamedev with C++ - a lot of people do that apparently... What I ended up doing was bouncing around between languages and engine for ages, then back to c++, then on to XNA with c# (best decision EVAR)
The big problem I had with learning C++ was how to go from std::cout << "HI" << endl;
to graphics in a window. I recommend SFML ( http://sfml-dev.org ). There are good tutorials by
sfmlcoder (google him)

Also I'm currently stripping down my platformer to get the basic engine and restructuring it so I can make a template for my next little project. Really it's procrastination from my big project but yolo

Just about to try to set up AngelScript so that a friend and I can start tinkering with it in time for an upcoming project for which we wish to implement it.

Just set up my first SVN repository on my Ubuntu box. Got it running properly with http access (apache) so that I can log into it from any other computer in the house. I'm going to start doing my Unity development using this repository. I'll set up a second repository later for web development.

I'm wanting to create some online functionality for my game, so now I'm learning JavaScript and exploring the possibilities of Node.js.

JS seems like fun. I'm already imagining all the things I could do with this... One of those times I wish I had my own small server box in the closet to be able to properly tinker with all this interesting stuff.
