Two days ago I had a trip in the great Kharkiv city.  I saw classical «Zerkal’naya/Steklyannaya Struya» monument (Glass Jet?) a.k.a. Pamyatnik Pobedy (Victory Memorial):

And rave drifting men on the city Ploscha Svobody (Freedom Square):

It was a short advertisment of the upcoming Kharkov Drift Cup event.

And huge dinosaurs:

Moar you can see there (<–clickable). I’ve got a perfect mood and a lot of impressions that day. But, memory card in my photocamera (and then accumulator) wasn’t very rubber .

UPD: I’ve seen about ten weddings near the monument, and a lot of graduating student from medical university. And also today is Youth Day, tomorrow – Constitution Day! Happy holidays!

Today is the last day of my session. I’ve closed it and now I’m happy, because two months of free time 24/7 have begun. And I’m planning to spend it with maximal profit for myself. Especially, to improve mu intellectual and programming skills. Also, I congratulate myself and my groupmates with the end of the beginning (first course). First stage have been passed.

The result isn’t so epic as in previous session. Here they are (from higher to lower):

• Object-Oriented Analysis and Programming (Java) – 5A (excellent)
• Object-Oriented Analysis and Programming (semester work, C++) – 5A (excellent)
• Discrete Mathematics Basis – 5A (excellent)
• English – 5A (excellent)
• Ukrainian – 5A (excellent)
• Computer Schemotechnics – 5B (excellent)
• Physical Training – 5B (excellent)
• Higher Mathematics (math. analysis) – 3D (satisfactorily)

Wahaha, so I will not have bonus the next semester. Smart people can make right conclusion themselves, I don’t want to comment this.

In honour of this epic event, I change motto of my blog (temprorary) to such sarcastic:

DO NOT WANT to know MATHAN

(НЕ ХОТЕТЬ знать МАТАН)

See ya!

I know, it’s a bit slooow, but I can’t miss this thing.

Well, almost a week ago, my favorite (because I haven’t seen anything else) TV serial «Lost» released the last episode.

Hey, men, it’s the worst end I can imagine. At first, some moments of this episode can make more questions than series altogether. And at second, it’s… it’s… it’s stupid! The end is so not serious and is childish.

When I saw couple first episodes, the serial seemed to me, maybe, the best series I’ve ever seen. I thought then: «And what, if at the end we’ll see that all plot is a dream of sleeping Jack? It will be very funny.», and we’ve got almost the same. It’s just a stupid delirium.

Very pitty that such good serial was so spoiled.

Well, my last post was a long time ago. So, it’s time to write new one.

I want to present you my first semester work, which I work now. Here is screenshot:

As you can guess, this is the clone of an ancient super-mega epic trash game called «Color lines«. Some ppl can keep it in mind as the great secretary’s time killer «Lines 98″.

This game is making with OpenGL API and GLUT library. Appearance of the game, maybe, isn’t so great or awesome, but I’m trying to do it better, of course. The cooled thing, I’ve released, I think, it’s A* pathfinding algorithm, without path construction yet, but it works and can tell us: is there a path from source to aim, or not. Also I’ll try to make it crossplatform. Field is also rotatable in 3D space, movement of cursor released via WSAD-buttons and it is smooth.

For couple of days I plan to end the work and begin to write docs (uhhhg ).

And also there are very good news: after some days of Humble Indie Bundle action, developers of Aquaria, Gish and Penumbra: Overture decided to open source codes of their games. Source code of Lugaru HD is already available too. Also, few days ago, Ryzom MMORPG has gone open source too. These are the awesomest news of past time. Let’s wish success to developers in future.

Yeah, vesterday was a day… A match. I wrote about it last post.

And what can I say? It’s… It’s… AWESOME. Rave, trash and carbon monoxide. All my stereotypes were broke. Football fans were cultural and I’ve returned home safe and sound .

I liked it. All people on match are so loud, so you cannot control yourself too. You begin to cry with them and actively support the team. Your normal state gets in such a stupid state, a state of other people, which surround you, and you are becoming as a part of the fan crew. It’s the best pastime after a hard and depressed week. And affair isn’t in «who will win» only, business is in a spirit of the crowd at all.

Ehr… As for the game, our won, 2:0 in benefit of Kharkiv Metalist. Details you can view on Metalist official website.

If you’ll ask: will you visit any football match in future, I’ll say yes.

Well, as you maybe guessed, I’ll visit football match «Metalist Kharkiv» vs. «Metalurg Donets’k» that will be on 24th April in Oblasny SportKomplex (OSK) Metalist. Actually, I’m not great football fan/player/expert, even more: this theme was never interesting to me, but, of course, I’ve played this game with guys from our yard, when I was a child, and sometimes.

So, why will I go there? The reason is to be well-beaten by football hooligans very simple: to see the stadium»rave» and, maybe, break all my conservative stereotypes about such kind events. Also I want to see: for what will people go to us on the upcoming Euro-2012 and what is the most awesome stadium is in our town and all Khariv region.

Well, yesterday the South Park crew released new episode called as «200″. It’s the really anniversary 200th episode.

Thank you guys. You rock. Wish you much more creativity in future.
