Adding comments to pages in WordPress

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

To add comments to other pages in WordPress you need to add the line:

<?php comments_template(); ?>

To your Page Template file. Easiest is to goto the admin section->Presentation->Theme Editor and then select Page Template from the right hand side. Add the line just after the “Edit this entry line” and just before the </div> section.

OpenGL Game Programming

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

I’ve just created a blank page for my Game Programming information. It will contain a bunch of info on how to do opengl stuff on Mac and Windows. (Sorry about you *nix guys but I couldn’t be bothered checking it, I’m just going to assume it just works with no changes :P).

The biggest problem I have had with opengl is creating a window, a simple window. I want to have a game that can run on all platforms so I was going to start to write basic window managers for each operating system but gave up when I realised GLUT does it all for you. I’d like to thank NeHe Productions for their tutorials and Video Tutorials Rock for their cube demo which I am using for the basis of my game/s.
