As a programmer, I appreciate web sites that take (nearly) no time to display, instead of waiting for eye candy. My website,
http://www.richelbilderbeek.nl follows my personal liking. But when possible employers want to see your work, you cannot expect them to click on 'Click here to see a screenshot of X'-links. So I decided to add three galleries:
- Game gallery:
http://richelbilderbeek.nl/GamesGallery.htm
- Tool gallery:
http://richelbilderbeek.nl/ToolsGallery.htm
- Project gallery:
http://richelbilderbeek.nl/ProjectGallery.htm
And I found out, from the number of visitors to these new pages, that these galleries were visited immediately after putting them online.
So, these new slowly-loading pages do satisfy the needs of some of my site's visitors.
But especially, those are the pages to show off with!
It was time to test my Qt Creator skills, by porting one of my own C++ Builder games to Qt Creator. It took some time to sort the many small problems out, but I have succeeded: Maziak (also known as Maziacs or Mazogs') is now cross-platform!
On my Maziak page (
http://www.richelbilderbeek.nl/GameMaziak.htm) you can find the complete C++ Builder and Qt Creator source code for comparison (and why is the Qt Creator code 40% shorter?)! But, of course, you can download the complete Qt Creator project and old Windows executable, so you can enjoy Maziak on any platform.
Enjoy!
