I got most of the work I wanted to get done today on the game done. It now significantly more playable. I have randomly generated backgrounds, new powerups, a main menu, text, score system and levels. Here's how it looks:

You can download it here, and at 55.7KB how can you go wrong? Tomorrow I'm going to implement the highscore board, which shouldn't take that long. Its only since I've started using OpenGL that I've realized how usefull a resource NeHe actually is, it would have taken me ages to get fonts running had it not been for his site.

What it really needs now though are sounds and music, which always make the difference between a demo and the finished article. Once they are in I'm going to start the playtesting. I already have a few guys testing it for me, but thats just to make sure there are no glaring mistakes. I need a larger test group before I can start making educated number tweaks.

Anyway, check out Nanodude and don't forget to leave a comment!
