Day 101: Never Update the SDK

Ugh. Due to one of our programmers on the programming project wanting to use some updated libraries, he's having all of us update the Windows SDK. Progress tonight? Not tonight.

Good news? We started on the messaging assignment in class; we're finally using LINQ! For those unfamiliar, it's a way to select members of a container in C# much like SQL. The syntax is a bit difficult for people unfamiliar with it to wrap their head around, but it's oddly intuitive.

As for other news? We had another external playtest! We got plenty of data on this one, which means we won't have too much to ask for next week in terms of tasks.

I've also been tasked to assist on tessellation displacement, but in managing the material displacement, I realized that not only does the object point its vertices, it actually moves up. Pointing crystals up isn't as simple now:


What's next? Waiting forever for an SDK to download.
