I'm currently sitting in the Vancouver International Airport, in my sweatpants, writing this post; waiting to board a plane to London, one-way, with no plans of returning any time soon.

Have you ever wanted to see a random, funny and colorful message every time you launch your terminal? Well I did, and and here's how you can do it too.

I recently set up React Dev Tools inside an Electron app, so I thought I'd write a small tutorial on it. The whole process should take less than five minutes so let's get started.

Just over a month ago, I left my job to pursue a career as an independent software developer. In other words, I quit my job to work on an app by myself. I am now officially "living the dream" (ugh).

Last weekend I converted my website (the one you're looking at) to the Hugo Static Website Engine. If you don't already know, a static website engine converts a directory structure of (usually) Markdown files to a set of HTML files that can be uploaded to a static web server like Surge.sh.

I am currently building a 2D platformer game called Platform Pixels. I chose to build the game using the libGDX framework because it can export to iOS, Android, and Desktop very easily. The framework also includes (optionally) the Box2D physics engine, but I chose not to use it. Instead, I wrote my own physics engine.

tl;dr add silence to your sound files if they're too short.

I am not an artist, so when I set out to make a game I needed to find other ways of making it look good. One of the things I did for my game Platform Pixels was add a lantern lighting effect. Here's what it looks like (zoomed out for greater effect).

When I started working on my first game Platform Pixels about a year ago, I had no idea how much work it would be. Since starting the project I have learnt how to make a game, create music, design graphics, edit video, and a bunch of other useful stuff!
