Wow it's been a busy day at work and tomorrow's going to kick off the same way with some conformance testing. Unfortunately I'm not doing a great deal of development but actually fixing problems and pushing things along.
The Game
I have to appologise that there hasn't been many funky screenshots for you to all enjoy and my programmer art isn't that exciting! Unfortunately I've been coding heap loads of infrastructure code and unless you think the STL is dead sexy then it's not all that exciting. Things will change :-)

Am I the only one not entering? I like the idea of the competition but I find the elements too restrictive on my imagination. Yes you can be very creative with these criteria however they don't fit in with any of the umpteen ideas I already have on my list without serious adaptation.
So I'm going to spend the time on my main game instead.
BTW, you could probably improve your sprites if you'd just outline them with a single pixel black outline -- I did this for my sprites and now they *pop* off the screen.
