More Pointless Updates
So yeah WordPress 2.7′s available, I’ll upgrade that later this evening.
Got a BIT out of my coding slump, my big progress today is an auto-launcher for a game launcher I put together so I could run my favorite emulated games without having my keyboard nearby. The auto-launcher picks up when I plug in my x-arcade DIY tankstick, and will, once I finish the actual launching part, launch the game launcher so I can launch the games. Seems a bit bass-ackward?
Least I can get the global hotkeys hook installed – that’ll at least let me code it in so when I hit a specific button combination on the xarcade, close the running emulator and return focus to the launcher. The launcher was made in XNA3 which couldn’t do hotkeys cause that’s a form thing or some bull.
Oh, and that launcher I don’t think’ll ever see the light of day; XNA’s a picky bitch when it comes to what can be uploaded and what can’t be. So until I either move to OpenGL or figure out how to draw sprites in straight DirectX when there’s no tutorials on it, launcher going public’s DOA, and frankly that’s got me NOT coding more into it.
So stay tuned for 2.7 I guess, I’m really not looking forward to updating again. It really needs a way to update itself at the push of a button.
