Star Hopper.

A collection of my experiences and projects on my way to becoming a programmer.

Blog.

Probably the most regularly updated part of my site (which at the moment at least, is not saying much). This is where I come usually to apologise profusely for not updating the site, or making up excuses as to why. Enjoy :)

Hello their readers. Once again I find myself apologising for not making more contents, but at least I have a rather compelling string of reasons / excuses as to why this has happened.

Going back to the end of April, I returned from the Falklands ahead of my ship to take a weeks leave in preparation for my leadership, a three-week intensive course which helps develop an understanding of core values and ethos required for those taking a promotion to Leading Hand in the Royal Navy. I pass...

Hey gang, today I have made some progress with the Star Hopper Games App page. Links have been added for dev documentation, as wella s a few anecdotes added. IRL progress of the app is slow due to most of my time at the moment being spent getting ready for my LRLC promotional course in the Royal Navy. I have made some progress though with integrating the rock / paper / scissors game logic with a GUI built using Free form, th LB bundled GIU builder (which was written in LB!). It is a lo...

Starhopper.info has been through the cleaners, various spelling errors have been removed or corrected, as well as some grammatical errors being adressed. Lots of new pages have been added, I just need to fill them up with shiney new contents. Facebook connect has been added as a login option as well. That’s it for now, more coming very soon.

Well isn't that nice. They chucked me off the ship a week early so I can relax a home a little before I FINALLY go for take 2 of my LRLC promotional course. I'm still apprehensive. This is probably more so that the first time I went there in fact, but I'm a little more confident too, it's almost like deja-vu, I know what to expect, I just have to be that how-high-guy for a few weeks.

Anyway, as I hope some of you have nostice, a few things have changed around the site, all for the bette...

I have now been slowly but surely working through my first book on programming for nearly three months, and I am a WHOLE THIRD of the way through it. Now despite the fact it's title ends "In 24 Hours" I swear I have not been dragging my feet on you. I am just taking it slowly as I a) am really interested, and b) am taking a lot of notes, and am thinking about making some tutorial videos to help join what I have learnt thus far. As the title of the blog post alludes however, I have finally got...
