Whenever I leave Wal-Mart (aka Wally-World), many times they check your receipt and your bag to see if you might be shoplifting.  And every time I feel guilty as I’m passing the worker who checks your bag.  I’ve never stolen anything from a store in my adult life (as a  little kid, yes).  But whenever I walk by, I feel a sense of urgency to get out the door before they check my bag.  It could be just because I don’t want them to bother me and I’m trying to get out quickly before they do.

The Tetris game is coming along nicely.  I made some major changes to the engine which has made the flicker that it had before go away.  I had forgotten to put a T piece in there.  It’s actually working how it’s supposed to.  I added some music to it last night.  And I plan on making it two player.  It will be really fun.  I’ll be excited to play it with my family this Christmas.  Since we all will be home this year.  It’ll be lots of fun.

Just finished making a Tetris game in .NET 2.0.  It took me Sunday afternoon and Monday Evening.  It was quite fun once I was all done.  The project is to make a Tetris engine in C# that can be compatible with any sort of front end (in C#).  Right now I have it using the GDI drawing tools in .NET. 

Doesn’t look like too many people are reading so I won’t offer the source code.  Maybe a few more frequent posts from myself might change things.

We live in a world that is completely different than how it used to be say 5 or 10 years ago.  Snooping children no longer sneak to the attic or to the closet to shake presents to find out what they are getting for Christmas.  All they have to know is their parent’s Ebay password…
