I hope you all had pleasant holidays +and a good start into the new year. I was able to spend New Years Eve with +good friends and relax from congress. + +Congress was a new experience for me and sometimes a difficult one. I still +don't handle large crowds very well. Luckily I had some kind of place of +retreat at the assembly table of our hackerspace. + +My problem with large crowds made it hard to visit many talks, but luckily I +will be able to watch them on thanks to the great work of +the VOC team. At least I got to socialise a little with people I usually don't +meet due to geographical circumstances. + +With me usually spending much time at the assembly table I indulged into +programming Haskell. I wanted to see how much my project of the past few months, +my game engine [Affection][aff], has grown into a usable state. I implemented a +game similar to [Asteroids][ast] called "Haskelloids", whose code base can be +seen [on Github][has]. It is basically playable, but I'm still in the process of +refining it further. Not only the game, but also the engine are still rough at +the edges. + +Unfortunately I didn't dare to make many photos at congress, but when I have my +films developed I'll upload what I have. + +[aff]: https://github.com/nek0/affection +[ast]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroids_(video_game) +[has]: https://github.com/nek0/haskelloids
