I just discovered that my friend Steve Gargolinski has a blog, called On Games and Code. He’s a programmer at Blue Fang Games, and you’ll definitely want to check out these posts:
- the slides from Steve’s lecture on genetic algorithms in games
- the video and slides from Steve’s talk on games and intelligence
- if you’re a programmer, even an armchair programmer like me, his post on “primitive obsession” is helpful
Strange fact: Steve and I lived across the hall from each other our freshman year at WPI. I always used to wonder how there were these game industry people who seemed to know each other forever but I’m guessing that in 10 years we’ll get together at some event and reminisce about playing Counterstrike with the guys on our floor. Or maybe Steve’s tendency to play nothing but Jethro Tull on repeat all day every day :)

Nice. Thanks for sharing. It’s always nice finding programmers that are willing to write a blog. Doesn’t seem like there are very many.
