I don’t usually write about personal stuff. Almost no one reads my blog and those that do are probably interested in the Linkage program or are curious about… the Linkage program. I also suspect that I get a few reads of programming posts now and then (I actually…

November 4, 2019
About a week ago, I played my worst game of Pipeline. I posted about it. The night before last, I played my best game ever. I’m not sure what external forces might have made the difference other than this recent game being a 1-on-1 game in my own…

August 14, 2019
I fixed the selection box issue and the control points are included. There actually are control points associated with the line segments of the curve but they are not used and not displayed. I have been adding code to allow for editing of curves in the context of…

I did a little work last night to the node smoothing code for the end points of the Bezier curves. I also added code to handle line segments withing the compound curve. Fancier Compound Curves The first and last segments are now lines instead of curves. Notice that…
