I have finally finished exams for this semester. This means that I will no longer procrastinate. Which is probably silly, because I could have used more study. Still, I have a decent chance of passing everything, so hopefully everything will be fine.

Although, over the last few years I have noticed something: I spend most of the time in exams looking around the room and thinking things that have little to nothing to do with the subject of my exam (mostly game ideas and how much time I waste in exams) and pretty much everyone else seems to work through them constantly. Maybe if I did that too I would go better in my exams.  That and if I could actually remember what I had studied. A lot of things I had reread only a few hours before my exam, and even wrote down and did example problems, I forgot in the exam. However, one piece of trivia that interested me for a few minutes a couple days ago because I couldn’t remember seeing it before I remembered quite well (I think I passed that question), so I don’t really get these things. Maybe I should try to figure out how my mind works, and then I’d know why I remember some things and not others, and that would improve my studying. Not procrastinating would also improve my studying, but that is too much like effort.

Until I wake up again (sleeping for a week to recover from exams is sounding really good).

A couple days ago, I downloaded ClanLib, a 2D graphics library. It also has support for networking, sound, etc.

Although it did take a little bit of effort to get working,from what I’ve seen so far it is a very good library, and I have already made a simple test game with it. I am thinking of expanding this game with a network mode, etc, although I am not sure if I will release it at all. Although I will have to leave it for a while, since I am in the middle of my exam period. After exams and I have completed my test game, I have plans for other games that I would like to make using the ClanLib SDK, some of which I have wanted to make for a while but didn’t have something I would want to make them with. Although I would like to get a few people I know together to make a dev team, and make one of them. If I actually get it done, I think it will be very good.

Anyway, that’s enough about ClanLib for now, although you could go to www.clanlib.org and have a look at it if you want.
