Merry Christmas guys Guilect, how are you doing? Are you working on anything interesting lately, or only working?

Hi U9, I am OK. Hopefully you and all the B2D users are too. I have been trying not to sit in front of the computer so much. 2 family members passed away recently and it made me want to be with real live friends and family more often. But, when I do get in front of the PC I am programming in C++ now. I use MS VS2008 Express. It is nice. And with C++ sooooo many more libraries become available. Most free and / or open source. I have started a physics (Box2d) game, a hybrid 3D game, an application, and I have another idea for a 2D game. None of these projects are done. The graphics is what is holding them back. I lack artistic ability. I mean, I have a hard time drawing a recognizable stick figure. All of my projects take almost no time to code, it is getting the media that takes all of the time. You look for free sprites and there are not that many, and either they are low resolution, or not the type of character that you are looking for, etc., etc. I am only making freeware games, so I do not wish to have to pay for art work. I am not sure if any of the projects will be ready in time for the Coding Monkey's contest. I will not release junk or something that is just a demo and not a full fledged game. Anyway, what have you been up to? How is your game project coming along? Anyone out there working on something for the Coding Monkey's contest?

Sorry to hear of your losses, family bereavement is never easy. Over the past few Months I brought some new programming books but I haven't had the time to study them that much. I've been a bit busy playing Modern Warfare 2. I should have some more time for programming & reading in the near-future though as I don't seem to spend as much time answering other peoples questions on the Basic4GL forum as I used to, lol. As for the Coding Monkeys contest, I'd completely forgotten about it.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I have never really experienced such myself so i can only imagine. I am mostly playing around with C++ now. SFML is at the top of the list for the moment. I too have difficulty getting graphics and sound. But i try to do a little networking to get some people interested in helping out Codemonkey competition ey? I guess i could throw my game that way, just for fun. I made a small game while i was on my vacation. But i still need graphics and sound effects and music, so maybe i will find some before end of january.
