New Web Site is Live!



I'd like to announce the official opening of Make Indie Games.

Chances are that you have come to this blog looking for tutorials on game development. I'd also be willing to be that if you have ever tried to create a game by your self you have run into a wall where you need to find an artist, programmer or music composer to make your creation look and play like you originally envisaged.

The best solution I have seen to this issue to date are help wanted forums. But these forums are, quite frankly, a pain in the ass. They are almost always tied to a specific engine or platform, you have to read through a million posts just to find out what opportunities are still available, and they do little to bring together all the creative fields that are required to make a kick ass indie game.

This is where Make Indie Games comes in. You can create a project and specify the kind of skills that you are need, and you can create a profile and specify the kind of skills that you have. Then, with one simple search bar, project owners can quickly search for qualified people, and individuals can browse from a list of projects looking for their skill sets.

The site is free to join, so please take a look and let me know what you think. I hope you'll agree that it takes the pain out of building a team to create your indie games.

Matt, this is great to see. I was wondering however, if you read the comments that are posted by those that read your blog. Mostly for the fact that there are many of us who were following your excellent tutorials, and were disappointed that they vanished. I accept that you posted the HTML pages, but could you please post the resources, and code for them, since for many of us they are essential to finish the tutorials that were started, but now remain unfinished. I hope that this plea falls on receptive ears.
Hoping that you can help us all.
Kind Regards,
Ian

MinHash for dummies

Duplicate document detection is becoming increasingly important for businesses that have huge collections of email, web pages and documents with multiple copies that may or may not be kept up to date. MinHash is a fairly simple algorithm that from all my Googling has been explained very poorly in blogs or in the kind of mathematical terms that I forgot long ago. So in this article I will attempt to explain how MinHash works at a practical code level. Before I start, please take a look at  http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/mmds/ch3.pdf . That document goes into a lot of theory, and was ultimately where my understanding on MinHash came from. Unfortunately it approaches the algorithm from a theoretical standpoint, but if I gloss over some aspect of the MinHash algorithm here, you will almost certainly find a fuller explanation in the PDF. I'll also be using pseudo Java in these examples instead of traditional math. This means when I use terms like Set, I am referring to the gr...

Authenticating via Kerberos with Keycloak and Windows 2008 Active Directory

Image
The following instructions show you how to configure Keycloak with Windows AD in order to use Kerberos authentication. Assumptions The Kerberos realm is VIRTUAL.LOCAL The hostname used to access Keycloak is virtual.local. This just means we are running Keycloak on the domain controller. In production virtual.local will be replaced with something like keycloak.dev.virtual.local or something like that, giving you a SPN of  HTTP/keycloak.dev.virtual.local@VIRTUAL.LOCAL Configuration Create a windows domain account called Keycloak. Run the following command to assign a SPN to the user and generate a keytab file: ktpass -out keycloak.keytab -princ HTTP/virtual.local@VIRTUAL.LOCAL -mapUser Keycloak@VIRTUAL.LOCAL -pass password1! -kvno 0 -ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL -crypto RC4-HMAC-NT Verify the SPN has been assigned to the user with the command: setspn -l Keycloak Configure the LDAP settings in Keycloak like this. Since we are running Keycloak on the domain controller, we...

Fixing OpenVPN "Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: cipher final failed"

When connecting to a VPN I was constant getting the error Mar  8 09:29:27 openvpn[1696]: Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: cipher final failed I had imported the supplied ovpn file and had followed all the other configuration steps, so this was quite frustrating. Then I saw this in the logs: Mar  8 09:31:07 openvpn[1790]: WARNING: 'cipher' is used inconsistently, local='cipher BF-CBC', remote='cipher AES-256-CBC' Changing my client to use "cipher AES-256-CBC" instead of the default (which apparently was cipher BF-CBC) fixed the issue.
