The life of a Games Programmer

I've given up on trying to get each LED unit passing on the packet from the previous one if its intended for a unit further up the strea...

I've been playing with electronics stuff again. Just before stopping for the Christmas break, Russ was moaning that I still hadn't f...

I'm still slowly progressing with wiring up the prototype, and I thought I was getting on well until I decided to finish one of them off...

I've spent a frustrating couple of nights trying to get my units forwarding the packets, but I've almost got it. Theres hardly any d...
