01/06/2003 - Today sees the release of Nova, which is my most ambitious project to date.  Nova is a versatile high-level object-oriented programming language.  You can find out more about it here.

05/12/2002 - It's been almost a year since the last update, but that doesn't mean that there has been no development going on.  In fact, a lot of foundation work has been completed for my future projects.  Also a new really big project is currently being worked on and is producing fantastic results!  Details will be available upon its first release, which is expected to be in the first half of 2003.  In the mean time I've added some new pictures to the 3D Boids project web page.  They are from the BBC's Natural History Unit's Talking with Animals television series that used my simulation to demonstrate how birds can flock together.  It was filmed with Charlotte Uhlenbroek on Brighton Beach, November 2001.

27/12/2001 - A very small and quick update to the boids simulation.  I've changed the viewport's cursor to a small crosshair as an additional improvement for the BBC.  The frame rate regulation / timing has also been removed, further technical details about this is given in the version information.  You can download the new binary from the project web page as usual.

05/11/2001 - My boids simulation has been updated again, we are now at version 0.9.  Changes in this release include a couple of extra landscape options as requested by the BBC's Natural History Unit and a really effective optimization that nearly doubles the frame rate.  Full details of all the enhancements are listed in the detailed version information as usual.  Feel free to download and try the latest binary from the project web page.
