Progress since my last post.

Set up my Groove Shark music library with lots of music.

On a more academic note I have done the following things:

• 5/10/2011;
  Finish proposal work and fooled around with more of the actual game, mainly the map editor and export/import ideas.
  Originally the map editor supplied my game with a single image of the map and huge array of bounding boxes, instead I will make use of the single tile sheet and have the game engine rebuild the map using information from a simple text file. The clipping information is stored with the tile sheet.
  
• 12/10/2011;
  Work through the plan using some Microsoft office tool called Microsoft Project or something. Not a huge fan of how the use interacts with the the interface. But it's do-able.
  Further work on the game engine from scratch, rebuilding the simple windows and the way content is drawn.

  Started work on research into existing games. Type up of research, need further research later. Huge influences such as the original Mario series and Capsized interested my greatly.
  
• 26/10/2011;
  Started work on survey, decided to use an online alternative, as this allows me to post and request answers from a larger group of people, utilizing SurveyMonkey.
  
• 2/10/2011;
  Further research.
  
• 9/10/2011;
  Even more research.

  Sick.
  

Today:
Well today I did this. Further completion of survey, I'll be posting it on facebook and on here, although that seems a little pointless as this is purely for my progress log. So hai random viewer!
