Oh school oh presentations!

Again I've been busy with school. I had to prepare a presentation about Thomas Bernhard for German class and I've spent the last 4 days in my room reading his books, that is "Gehen" and "Der Untergeher", and reading his biography and reading more of both and creating a presentation that contained 60(!) slides in the end.
Presenting took me awfully long - more than 70 minutes - but at least the teacher thought it was a fine.
You can find an example of Thomas Bernhard here (although the translation may be not that good).

I've uploaded the source and the presentation to my webspace.It released under FDL. You can find it here.
Doing this I've come to think that my other physics presentations might be worth uploading, too, so here they are:
One about the Doppler effect: here
One about optical resolutions, telescopes and microscopes (that makes use of some nice java applets): here

The one issue you might have is that they are all written in German.
Anyway, I hope someone can use it or read it or like it.
Fortunately I'm going to work on some computer-related topics again now - although my A-levels will start soon :( , but until then I'll try to code.

Greetings,
Andreas Kirsch

PS: I've also uploaded my entry for the BWM (Bundeswettbewerb Mathematik - this is a national math contest) in 2007. You can find it here.

Shelled Project Pages

Shelled! Logo (courtesy of RedThumbGames)I've finally found enough time to write a few things about Shelled and put up a general Shelled info page and one describing my memories of its development. So if you're interested you can take a look at it and tell me how you like them respectively how you like the game.
By the way its totally free and you can download the  game source and mod it, too, so if you haven't tried it out, do now!

On other news I've been working on this and that and my GarageGames project still isn't finished as I'm waiting for some artwork and I've been playing around with Doom 3 and Quake 4 (respectively their SDKs), maybe I'll post a few screenshots in a few weeks. I'm still in a trial-and-error phase but I know what I want to do, so hopefully I'll be able to create something nice.
There are also a few other projects and tasks that keep me busy: mostly school at the moment and preparing for my A-levels - though I've only started last week with that -, the second round of a computer science competition and other stuff.

Anyway stay tuned for more info soon.
