OK, I guess updating once a month isn't exactly satisfying. I guess I
'll have to try harder. Anyway, the code for elevens has been posted since
it has reached a certain stage of completeness. The only thing missing,
is an algorithm to favor the player when there are few cards left, because
it seems that when the cards are completely random the board is never
going to be completely clear!

The code for Prefa is reaching a playble stage. Stay tuned for posts!

Also, added stuff in the resources section.

The original code for Kremala has been posted. Don't pay much attention
in the naming conventions, they have changed a lot since then!

Oops! I had connected the SDL link to a wrong address. It's corrected
now.
The links still don't have content. I am trying to clear the code a little.

Site is up. Don't shoot, not all the links have content. Check back later.
It is hard to tell which one is more pleasing, playing or creating games. Creating games is as rewarding as nearly no other kind of programming. It is also a very compelling programming task, combining such diverse sectors as developing complex algorithms, and graphics and sound programming, multimedia in general.

Kremala (Hangman)
All-times classic kids' pencil-and-paper game. What is special about this
specific incarnation? Well, pictures «borrowed» from Lucky Luke, pseudo-two
players mode, but the most interesting is that it is duplicated in a number
of languages. As you may have guessed, this was the first «non-hello world»
program I used to write, as I learned every new language!
