I spent some time last night and this morning reading Jordan Mechner's Old Journals about creating Prince of Persia (the original of a series of action games). I am, strangely, interested in computer history. One area that is especially interesting to me is computer game development. Throughout the blog entries that Jordan digitized from old, handwritten journals he was keeping when he was first creating Prince of Persia, he describes his struggles and triumphs.
I became inspired to chronicle my journey of porting the classic asteroids-style arcade game, Asterax. Since I am starting this mid-journey, I will be describing the past happenings for a few posts, and then we can get to the present.
