Officially Official: I am Exec but not a moment too soon

Yup, it's a studenty post again. So with the beginning of July, Handover at UADSA (and NUS, NUS Scotland, AUSA and pretty much everywhere else) is complete and my tenure as Executive Officer for the Students of Abertay Dundee begins, looking set to be a busy year already though.

Gamestation Rewards

Gamestation have always seemed the underdogs to my purchasing habits - they remind me more of a local game store - for Aberdeen natives a place like 'Solid Gold' than a national chain such as Game but this last trip I took to spend the £5 trade in card I won at the Abertay Games Pub Quiz in Dundee Gamestation has shown some changes.

E3, Exec & Everything Else

Well it's been a busy cupla weeks - highlighted by my delay in getting that technical post finished, still immensely enjoyable though. Trips Home, Freshers Week and a lot more about Sony's E3 Hardware revelations.

Connecting a PS3 Dualshock/Sixaxis Controller to your PC (and the basics of Programming with it)

Finally! Something a bit more technical - so yeah as the title describes I'm gonna go through the basics of installing your PS3 Controller on your PC and then accessing its input programmatically through DirectInput in C++.

End of Year 2

So year number two done and dusted.hurray! Now for a summer of...finding a job and working my ass off hehe. coursework got me back in the programming spirit however so after finally getting the phone on to Gingerbread and playing a bit of portal 2, I took it upon myself to find a driver for the ps3 controller, then connect through Direct Input and interface it with my opengl coursework. Very very pleased with the outcome and it was pretty straight forward, might post a wee guide on it later on, eager as I am to claim my share of c++ tutorialism.

Anyhoo, given I'm on my phone pending sleep I'm gonna wrap this up. :-)

Forgotten is just a state of mind ;)

Ok, It may be obvious but I'll admit it - I forgot about this - made one post realised I didn't like it deleted it and never came back... until now.
