May Update

     After a short break I have decided to post a new blog update to let you know what I am up to at the moment. I had a couple weeks off from school but have now started the summer semester.

Mobile Course
     I mentioned in a previous blog post that I was going to be taking a special course on mobile applications over the summer. I am now a couple of weeks into that course and working hard on course projects. The course project I am working on is an attempt to improve location detection around campus based on the router a mobile device has connected to. Our goal is to improve on GPS which is not as accurate indoors and cannot accurately differentiate between different floors in a build. We hope to eventually use this technology to provide context specific information to mobile users in various different applications.

RPG Project
     Another update I have is related to my RPG game project. I have posted another YouTube video showcasing some of the new features. Unfortunately, due to my busy schedule this summer I may not have much time to add more to it any time soon.
     Also, I feel I have hit a roadblock with this project. I have reached a point where my engine has enough features for me to start making a game, but I lack a clear vision for what I want the game to be about, and what the story will be. This is a problem I have come across with many of my previous projects and is why I have never been able to take my project to the point of completion. This is something I hope to think about over the next couple months and try to develop solutions for, while at the same time improving and adding to the existing features of my engine.
