			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah. I think I’m just gonna do C# and XNA game programming. Seems a whole lot easier and I won’t have to manage memory.</p>
<p>Sure, C#/XNA is slower but I don’t think it matters when the games I want to make are gonna be 2D. When I move on to 3D I think I’ll try C++/DirectX again. I can’t really find any decent online resources for DirectX right now and I don’t feel like buying a book. </p>
<p>I’ll probably take the game programming course here at Stony in a later semester. The teacher is cool and having someone guide you through it is a whole lot easier. Wish they had it when I was at Tech. Screw you weird name people, Ariel and Aljohn. Oh and Lukasz.</p>
<p>This kid Allen(?) is starting up a game programming club so I’m gonna be joining that. He seems pretty awesome at programming, much more knowledgeable than I who only knows Java and a bit of C++ (and php/html/css/js). It’ll be fun. I hope.</p>
<p>So anyway, I’ve starting learning C# and it’s a lot like Java. That’s kind of a good thing since Java’s pretty easy. Still deciding on game to start off with.</p>
<p>Snake? Space Invaders? Tetris? PONG?!</p>
<p>For the sake of randomness. Here’s a video of one of the <a href="http://tigsource.com/articles/2007/06/11/nikujin">best games ever</a>.</p>
