46 hours to assignment submission

[technoXavage]

Hi all.....I'm currently assigned to develop a spaceship shooting game and it is supposed technically achievable within 30 hours. I doubt I shall be getting much slleep the next 2 days......can u guys take a look at what the final product should look like here (http://nickchong.com/galatea.zip) and the engine here (http://nickchong.com/shellv6.zip) and comment me on how I should take on this challenge. Much help is appreciated. Thanks a lot and have a nice day.

i've done the spaceship rotation bit......i'm not sure how to thrust

[technoXavage]

thrusting done...moving on to terrain n perhaps shooting...time left 44 hrs 20 mins

[technoXavage]

terrain problem....when i run the game....the buildings appear for less than 1 second and then it is totally gone.......how come??

the funny thingis that i can see like 8 buildings if i comment the count++ in the void DrawTerrain().....

I'm glad you are keeping us updated. 6 replies to yourself? Jesus...

I've seen doubles,
I've seen triple,
but never have I seen a sexpost!

sorry, couldn't resist :p
