--- title: "Archived Blog: Knights of the Compiler" template: template/page.mako kind: kotc --- ![](logo.png) Here's my old Knights of the Compiler blog. I posted on it from December 2012 until October 2013. It mostly contains a little bit of documentation of a few small games I made that year, and some (possibly drunk) rambling here and there. It's not much, but I remember having fun pushing myself to document the process of game development a bit, and also appreciated the feeling of having accomplished something when a post was finished and visible online. I also enjoyed exploring how black-and-white I could get the website theme to look. Funnily enough that's still the colorscheme I gravitate towards for most of my projects. It's only since a year or two that I'm actually aware of my habit of preferring monochrome markups. A peer of mine once called it "newspaper style", which I don't find very accurate since I associate newspapers with black on grey or black on beige. Still, it has a nice ring to it, and it is generally how I mentally categorize this family of styles now. As the blog was WordPress based, there was also a comment section. I rarely got any feedback, but I remember getting a comment once or twice from kind individuals somehow stumbling upon my blog. Chances are I had just sent them an unsolicited link to my blog via a group chat; I don't remember. Still, at the time I really appreciated those small but meaningful comments. Thanks for that. The script I *braincoded* to turn the wordpress posts and pages into a more useful Markdown folder hierarchy might be useful for others. Though the output still needs some manual work to get the output in a pure Markdown state. I wrote about it in [a blog post](/post/wordpress-export-to-md). # Pages - [About me](page/about-me) - [Projects](page/projects) - [One Game A Month 2013](page/one-game-a-month-2013) - [January: Relentless Escape](page/january-relentless-escape) - [February: Operation Get Out](page/february-operation-get-out) - [March: Flippin' Frenzy](page/march-flippin-frenzy) # Posts *Wednesday, October 30, 2013* [bier met vriend...](post/bier-met-vriend) *Wednesday, October 30, 2013* [Doing some catch up](post/doing-some-catch-up) *Sunday, October 13, 2013* [Haven't posted in a long time](post/havent-posted-in-a-long-time) *Monday, May 20, 2013* [Sweet, sweet progress!](post/sweet-sweet-progress) *Sunday, May 12, 2013* [Making some #1GAM may progress!](post/making-some-1gam-may-progress) *Tuesday, March 26, 2013* [Untitled](post/untitled) *Monday, March 25, 2013* [March: Flippin' Frenzy](post/march-flippin-frenzy) *Saturday, March 02, 2013* [Operation Get Out finished!](post/operation-get-out-finished) *Sunday, February 24, 2013* [First level done!](post/first-level-done) *Wednesday, February 20, 2013* [Today, coding was absolutely...](post/today-coding-was-absolutely) *Monday, February 18, 2013* [Time to cast some rays](post/time-to-cast-some-rays) *Saturday, February 16, 2013* [Kryptonite](post/kryptonite) *Friday, February 15, 2013* [The first steps towards Operation Get Out](post/first-steps-towards-operation-get-out) *Monday, February 04, 2013* [One down, eleven to go!](post/one-down-eleven-to-go) *Thursday, January 24, 2013* [The january game is finished: Relentless Escape!](post/january-game-is-finished-relentless-escape) *Monday, January 21, 2013* [Just throwing it out there](post/just-throwing-it-out-re) *Sunday, January 20, 2013* [Nearing the 90% mark!](post/nearing-90-mark) *Friday, January 18, 2013* [The first status update](post/first-status-update) *Thursday, January 03, 2013* [Quote](post/quote-3) *Sunday, December 30, 2012* [One Game a Month imminent!](post/one-game-a-month-imminent) *Saturday, December 22, 2012* [My first (REAL) blog entry!](post/my-first-real-blog-entry) *Friday, December 21, 2012* [Quote](post/quote-2) *Friday, December 21, 2012* [Quote](post/quote-1) *Monday, December 10, 2012* [Quote](post/quote)
