App hub stuff

So this week I haven't done much work on things because I've been focusing on studying for the final.
Although I did go into apphub to check out my memberships for the creators club and I just happened to stumble on the fact that i already had 2 memberships, one on my usual email that i am using for my own game startup I'm working on and my DePaul email account.  so that made getting the membership pretty easy.  This week I will get my lobby completed and then provided I have time get the ships moving on both computers.  I don't see much standing in my way on this, I want to get this done ASAP so that I can do some debugging and add as many "goodies" to it as I can.

Input Queu working

Well my Input is now being stored and processed from a queue so I'm feeling really good about things now.  I had this stupid error that i couldn't figure out and all it was is that I was trying to dequeue an empty queue, i feel like such an idiot but all is good now.

This week

Unfortunately I really don't have too much to add this week.  This week has been a terrible week for me.  I've been very busy this week with work and working on my own business so I haven't been able to get much coding on the project done. 
I suppose my time management has been pretty poor, but I am taking 5 classes and working 25 hours a week, so I'm just trying to manage things.  I've been doing a lot of thinking about what I need to do to get this working nd feel like I have a lot of great thoughts on how I need to do this.
I will have the data driven one within the next couple days I hope and once that is done I don't see the networking being too difficult so overall I am not feeling bad about anything on this project.

Starting Final Project

So I decided to go with Omega Race for my final project.  It seems like it'll be a good challenge and I've gotten a start on things and it seems like everything shoudl be pretty manageable.
I've gotten a start on getting the Data Driven portion of the assignment done and so far so good.  I'm feeling pretty good about this, he last time i did any networking in XNA was way back in 2.something so it was a bit different, but the same basic concept so I think once I get the data driven done it'll be easy enough to send it down the network as well as to the input manager.  So so far so good.

I actually kind of enjoyed working on PA4.  I'm not the biggest fan of C# but I managed to work my way through it.

It didn't seem to give me any problems except working on getting output looking decent.  I've never really used much for console output in C# so it was tough to format it.  Overall I enjoyed working on the assignment and i found it pretty easy actually.

Assignment 1

Assignment one has seemed fine so far. It's been a little frustrating getting everything going but not too bad. I think most of that is due to my main laptop not working at the moment and not being sure when I'll get it back.

Got Perforce set up and am in the process of setting up Visual Studio which is a huge pain. It has taken hours to install Service Pack one so that I could install XNA and I am really running into the same problems I always run into with Visual Studio (too complex and too many dependencies to be productive). Haven't been able to get to the programming yet because I've been installing all the Visual Studio stuff so far (gcc and VIM never take this long).

All in all I guess everything is going fine though.
