A Hospital Stay June 8, 2003
Right now my wife is staying with our 4 year old at the hospital so that I could have a couple of
days outside and pay some bills. He can't be left alone so you are pretty much stuck in the room 24
hours a day where there with him. They drained about 5 lbs of fluid from his abdomen last week (weight
went from 33 to 28) and he is much more comfortable right now. He aquired a infection in his blood
at the hospital and is now on a 10 day IV antibiotic treatment. If all goes well he will get out
on Thursday. If not, well, we are currently at 3 weeks in the hospital, but we have done much
longer.
When working on Marble Blast I didn't get very familiar with the client/server stuff of Torque. On
my current project I've had to dig down into the details and I now have a much better feel for this
part of Torque. Once I get this new game out the door - hopefully sooner rather than later - I think
I'll be able to write a short doc/tutorial describing some more elements of what Torque can be made
to do. In my own case just seeing some sample code that works has been the best way to understand
Torque. Thanks to Melv and others for all the code/script samples that are available - they are
better than gold...
