Fortunately, the new WinRT platform is written in C++/CX, so in theory I should be able to reuse almost my entire code base! This was true for the most part,...

I have a confession to make. I’ve been running a website on a shared GoDaddy web server for years. During that time I’ve really never had any problems. The tech support was fine.

I submitted an update this weekend for a new level for SimplePhysics, named Bomb Shack. In this level, you must build a small shelter to protect a crash test dummy from an indirect explosion. If the dummy gets blasted, or if he is struck by a falling support, then you fail. The level simulates realistic explosions, so you will have more success trying to...
