From UFO:AI

about

• blondandy is Andy Buckle
• born 1977
• work as a radiotherapy physicist

I have some skill with maths (calculus, 3D stuff, vectors, ...), so please ask if you need something worked out, or if you need something checked.

contact: using the sf.net system.[1]

the day job: this[2] google scholar search should return my work.

my minor contributions

• wrote some java to generate the weapon_tables.
• noticed that the weapon skills had no effect. [3].
• patch to improve to-hit estimate [4].
• patch to make skills increase fast when they are low (20-50) and slow down as they approach 100[5].
• patch to make combat knife rubbish against armour [6].
• patch so that mouse click turn cancels aiming only on first click. second click required to turn. [7]

then I got svn permissions

tools

This is a win-centric list.

• [8]Psycle: a tracker/sequencer
• [9]Audacity: for messing with samples
• [10]GIMP: for messing with images
• [11]Blender: 3D modelling
• [12]Dev-cpp: C/C++ IDE. not in development anymore :( its still good though
• [13]TortoiseSVN: svn client. good intro to svn. its a shell extension, tortoiseshell. geddit...
  • its also very slow (perhaps that's why its called tortoise). after you use it, its starts its "TSVNCache.exe" process hogs hard drive time. made other stuff unusable. so I have abandoned it.
• [14]the tigris console svn client. slower to complete tasks than tortoise, but does not hog resources when you don't want it to. I have *.bat files for most simple tasks now. ask if you are interested.

  • svn co https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/trunk trunk

• [15]poEdit: compile po and play trunk
• [16]Perl: script to compile all maps to play trunk.
  • though you are probably better off grabbing mattns mappacks [17].
• [18]google reader: for RSS feeds from ciabot [19]
• [20] GTKRadiant for mapping, which mattn has set up for UFO:AI.
