| I'm still working on the
netcode. It's hard coming up with a smooth system that doesn't present
a lot of jerkiness or lag. Right now I'm switching over to an
interpolation system and seeing how that works.
I had a problem
for 3 hours or so where the game would lock up, but not be locked up at
the same time. The window would be frozen, but the player would still
turn to look at the mouse. (I could tell due to the direction packets
still being sent) I eventually figured out that it was a problem with
the netcode, I was sending doubles client-side but reading them as
shorts server-side. Oops.
I hope to get the movement netcode done today. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks for Dave, Andy, David, and Leo for testing.

I added an inventory and equipment system. Obviously you can drag and drop items and equip them
Demos are on my site... http://edproducts.net

| It has been a productive weekend on the contest entry. I haven't decided on the game name yet.
The game is going to be a Worms-esque side scrolling artillery game, except winter themed. For instance, snowballs would be a weapon you can use, or for devastating power, an exploding snowman. The game will have heavy RPG elements, such as levelling, equipment, and inventories. The gameplay will mostly take place online, where your stats will be tracked, and there will be a server list.
What I have gotten done so far:
- Fluid limb system (fluid animations and interchangeable limbs)
- Motion blur
- Basic projectile launching system
- Movement system
- Wind and its effect on projectiles
- Ds has created some menu music for me
- Basic graphics

| I entered the $1000 game making competition (winter themed)
We have 45 days... I'll post screens as I make progress :)

Bye Germany and Germanylanders...
I must depart back to the "motherland" and live the rest of my high school life in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
I won't have my computer until September but I'll be on Myspace a lot...
What have I learned in Germany?
- To see the truth through layers of deception
- To set your expectations very low
- People lie a lot
What have I accomplished in Germany?
- Went to depression counseling
Besides that I didn't accomplish ANY goals which sucks but oh well...
Overall Germany was awesome but Patch and the people at Patch were not... But you gotta take the good with the bad...
I'll miss Germany and it's yummy candy but I won't miss most of the people I met.
Ciao...
