I just had to paint this.

Inspired by one of the Assassin Creed official artworks found here, except I made my own version that represents the Legend of Zelda. Link has finished his adventure, with Ganon slayed in the background (as you can see his orange mane in the rain), and the Master Sword rested in the ground beside Link as he falls to his knees, looking up into the sky as it starts to rain to wash the blood, pain and evil away.
I kinda wish we would get a Zelda game as mature as this, but it’ll probably never happen. So all I can do is draw the scenes for my own entertainment!

MouseEditContinue

Today I spotted a nifty shortcut combination for Visual Studio put forward by Andrew Russell which pauses the current program and ensures that the code source viewer doesn’t navigate away causing you to lose your place. He has a blog post about it here.

He used his mouse config panel to bind this shortcut to a mouse button. Unfortunately, my mouse didn’t have such a powerful macro editor. I originally attempted to create a VS Macro to do a similar job, but for some reason you can’t bind mouse buttons to a macro in visual studio. The code for such a macro would be something like this:

Public Sub EditLine()

DTE.Debugger.Break(True)

DTE.ExecuteCommand(“View.NavigateBackward”)

End Sub

After searching around for solution I found a plugin for VS2010 which binds the extra mouse buttons to Navigate Forwards/Backwards, so I modified it to use this Edit&Continue key combination instead. Here it is!

Install instructions are provided in the download. Thanks to Jochen Baier at CodeProject for his guide to using mouse shortcuts in a VS addon. You can find his article here. My code is really just a tweaked version of his. This comes with the usual disclaimers, I take no responsibility for what this does to your computer etc.

I hope someone finds this useful.

Change Log:

Fixed engine trails stretched badly during hyperspace jump
Modified hyperspace exit behaviour so you start at the far edge of the system and decelerate near the centre

“In Holland, we have two words for design. One is vormgeving; in German formgeben. And the other word is ontwerpen; in German entwurf. In the Anglo-Saxon language there’s only one word for design, which is design. That is something you should work out. Vormgeving is more to make things look nice. So for instance, packaging for a perfume or for chocolate in order to make things fashionable, obsolete and therefore bad for society because we don’t really need it. While ontwerpe means, and the Anglo-saxon word, but its stronger, means engineering. That means you as a person try to invent a new thing—which is intelligent, which is clever, and which will have a long-life. And that’s called stylistic durability. It means you can use it for a long time.”
