Today I must begin work on Calendar, and must prepare for developmental work. I plan on creating a functional trailer as part of this.

I have begun my developmental work. To date, I have completed several animated scenes, as well as varying sound files for use in the trailer and then the final game.

All work is progressing nicely. I am on schedule and should be ready with all of my assignments by the end of the marking period.

Today I continued my developmental work. I am simultaneously learning C++ through Sams Teach Yourself C in 21 Day. This info will be invaluable in the completion of my project.

Today is actually the Friday after December 11, but my internets screwed up, so it actually says January 24, funny eh...
Anyway, I have decided to drop out of the TSA Competition because, let's face it, I'm NEVER going to get this video game done in time.

Okay, over the break I met with my mentor (it's now January 2nd by the way), *** ******. We discussed some of the finer points of Object-oriented Programming, and I came to a new revelation. Since C++ a college major barely understands it there is now way in **** that I will be able to learn it in six months. So we agreed for me to begin programming in Adobe (Macromedia) Flash instead.

Dear Self,
It is now time for me to get my Weblog checked. Thankfully I completed everything in a timely manner, being the model student that I am. As an aside, my dating works again.
