Araknoid v1.1

I figured that since I'm going to be posting again, I might as well post the new version of Araknoid with high scores. I'm almost certain that there is still a bug in the high score system and in the dialog box code, and I don't intend to fix them. Sorry, but it's been so long since I've even worked with this project and I just want to move on. As of now, Araknoid v1.1 will act as a simple example of my abilities as well as the abilities of XNA and those who wrote helper code (particle engine, XNAFont, etc). Thank you for your help, I look forward to your future projects. For those that are interested in downloading the v1.1, I am currently hosting it on my Wisconsin account.

Whaaaa?!

Holy crap. Well, as some of you may have noticed...well, who am I kidding, there are none of you anymore. But if you did exist, you may have noticed that I haven't posted in a really, really, really, really, really, really.........................really, really,really long time. So, why have I not posted in this long amount of time? Well, it's complicated. I haven't really been programming at all in the past months due to my recent high school graduation and ensuing college preparation. The move from high school to college had almost entirely taken over my life. If you were wondering, I'll be going to the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the fall for majoring in Computer Science. With roughly a month and a half of summer left, I should have a decent amount of time to do various programming projects, and maybe even a small game or two. One would think that a Computer Science major would be programming constantly, but...you know....I had stuff to do. So today I said to myself "hey, I should check out my devblog" and whaddaya know, I had a comment from Zygote on my last post (ZOMG!!!!!1!11). Huzzah, but I'm sorry I let you down Zygote. I promise that I will continue to program things in XNA as well as post about them. Here's to the resurrection of my devblog. Stay tuned.

Edit: Also, I forgot to mention one thing. Since I'm going to college, I bought a laptop. It's pretty decent and should aid me in my game making journeys. If you are interested in the specs, check out www.xfire.com/profile/eogas
