Getting to work on a game!

Woohoo! So im getting ready to put some more time into learning C#. I had been taking a small break to give my brain a refresh period before I got back into it. I'm starting out simple, most likely a simple space invaders type game, with some cool graphics, audio, and GUI. Maybe even some cool explosions. I'm not going to try and move to fast, but learn as I go. Ill try to get some game art up soon. Time has been a little short with school and all. Stay tuned!
I decided to upload a few more signatures I created. I thought somebody might have a use for them. They are free to use for whatever, without having to give me credit, although I wouldn't be opposed to my name being dropped or a link being given should the opportunity arise:D

Enjoy!

Great book to learn C#



So I have been trying for some time to learn C# so I can use it in my game programming. Now even though I know that you cant learn C# in a day, I still felt like I wasn't really getting any results for all the work and time I was spending. So i decided to take some time and just browse the book shelfs at Barnes and Noble to see if I could find a book that would teach me in a progressive manner, and wasn't full of programmer jargon. I spotted this book on the shelf and after spending some time flipping through it, it looked like the perfect match. Its full of pencil notes that are helpful to the reader "me", and it starts off slow, and it moves its way up into developing more and more complex programs. It also includes links in the text to the website which contains all the resources and content for each project. At my Barnes and noble it was priced at 50$ which may seem a bit steep, but in the way of programming books, its a pretty good price. Anyhoo, I just thought I would post this book for anybody who might find it useful.

Some graphic DooDaas

So besides learning to write computer games, I also enjoy graphic design. I took a graphic design class during my freshman year in high school, and I just loved it. I thought I might show of some of my work. These are a few signatures I made for the fun of it. The first one, is my signature on the "Dream in code" forums (http://www.dreamincode.net/) and the other one I did just for fun. Ill probably use it someday. Ill post more as time goes by.
