Remember a while back when I said there were only three parts of the project? Turns out there’s a few more than that. :) Not only is there a form for Setup and Custom Game Settings, but also for clearing the high score list, (Zap) joining a network game, and displaying errors.

I’ve spent the past couple of weekends working on those, but they’re pretty much done now! Here’s a screenshot of each of them:

For the most part, they’re pretty simple, it just took some time. But now they’re all done, and they have everything in place to interface with the game itself, which is actually what I’ve been looking at next.

I’ve started working on designing the game itself this week. I’m mostly just throwing ideas around and seeing if they would work/fit with all the different needs, but it’s still really fun! Especially when I think about how the AI is going to work, but that’s still a ways down the road. Right now I’m thinking more about the game state machine, and how I’m going to build the menu system. Hopefully in the next month or so, (school permitting) I’ll have the menus in place and wired up to some of the dialogs I created up above. Huzzah!
