Graphics Patterns

Well it's been a while... anyhow, I came across a page about Graphics Patterns while checking out the Portland Pattern Repository and I'm happy. Why am I happy? Well since I last blogged, I discovered the Design Patterns book, and thought it'd be useful for my research. I'm supposed to be doing a "game graphic taxonomy" (as per request of my PhD supervisors), and the graphics patterns might help -- I'll know once I've read through them, but what little I've read so far seems the goods.

I've done some searching on game design and patterns, and I found the usual stuff (http://gamedesignpatterns.org/), but also found a thread on IGDA, to which I added my own 2 cents, and found that somebody there actually had read this blog -- hoorah!

So anyway, at the moment I'm writing a paper for the Australasian Conference on Interactive Entertainment, and I'm on the (hopefully) downhill run to finishing my thesis dissertation.
