It is done!
For the past months, I’ve secretly been working on an all-new and improved website to supersede www.lunaticsystems.com, the game programming site I built on Xaraya back in 2001.
Whilst Xaraya provided everything I ever needed, I never had the nerve to delve into Xaraya theme development to create an inviting site that didn’t cause visitors to run away screaming.
This time, things were different. The new site uses Drupal, which has a much more fluid user experience to begin with. Some modules needed minor customizations and I spent some design work changing the forum to look more like other forum systems my visitors may be accustomed to. But in overall, the decision to use Drupal saved me a lot of effort. As a result, I had much more time available to fill the site with content.
The new site now focuses on game programming in C# using the Microsoft XNA framework (successor to Managed DirectX). The new programming environment is much more productive than the C++ toolchain and I feel that the C# community in overall is also more enthusiastic.
I’d love to welcome you on my site. If you’re a fellow game programmer, you will surely find something of interest there!
