About 2 weeks ago I finished my final exams ever! I just got the results in and it looks like I’ll be graduating with a BA/BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science come autumn.

I’ve also accepted an offer as a .net developer, I’ve only been there two days but they seem like a good bunch and I already have a lot on my to-do lists. As the work largely revolves around business logic which often lives on top of databases, and I’ve not had that much experience in that area, I’ve had to learn alot and read up on all that kind of stuff – Which will probably take me some time to fully grok.

Which means that I’m not going to have too much time over the next few months for my pet project – My employer is paying me for my full attention after all.

But it does mean that I can put some money away to pay contractors to work on various parts of the game, expect some nice art and music when my new roguelike is ready.

As an aside – Last week I started adding some code to the SFML library sf::String class that would allow more flexibility with text rendering such as centering, horizontal and vertical alignment as well as wordwrapping, and subrect rendering. All of which will be very handy for any project that needs to manage text, but seeing as I’m making changes to the SFML code I may as well submit the new features I’m writting to be released in a future version.
