If you’re reading this article, chances are that you’re considering making your own video games. You may have some great ideas for games but don’t know where to begin. Here are some tips to get you started.

Start with the tools before you start with the game. If you intend to do a majority of the game yourself, consider using one of the low-cost game engines on the market such as 3d Game Studio and Torque 3d. Flex your muscles with whichever platform you choose. Get to know the limitations of the software before you start working on a project. If texture artist or level designer, it’s still valuable to play around with the game engines, even if you’re not a pro at coding.

Wi-Fi as most people know it is designed around two parameters: as much speed as cheaply as possible. What is missing is the "reliability" requirement.

This is not always the case once you start to get multiple clients connected within the same area. This is not always the case in corporate environments. This is not always the case once you start to populate your premises with the multitude of electronic devices that can spew noise into the airspace.

Inspired with the launch of Bud.tv, I took a quick tour of what is available in online video. And the results are a frustrating mixed bag to say the least. It is certainly more complicated than the video programming that I can get from my DirecTV dish. How any normal person is expected to make this technology work is beyond me. After looking at a couple of video sites, I have come up with eight different issues:

First off, my expectation is to be as close to the YouTube user experience as possible: you search for the video content on the home page, click on what you want, and the video starts playing inside the existing browser frame. I don’t want to download any special media player, thank you very much – I already have a truckload of them running around my hard disk. I don’t want to hunt around looking for the video either – it should be easy to find whatever it is that I want to watch.
