Spent all yesterday reading about network programming and trying to find a decent library for game networking. All the cool programs I want to write use the Internet, so i've got to learn this stuff eventually.

Incidentally, I just called Best Buy and they say that have Neverwinter Nights! I have got to go buy this bad boy. :)

I told myself I wouldn't write these "This is what i'm doing right now" entries. But inspiration has not struck recently, and i've got to post something. Anyway, I guess TCP/IP and UDP don't exactly get those inspriational and philosophical juices flowing. :)

Just got home from work. I only had 20 minutes to play with it before I went to work. All the menus are translucent, though. That's so cool!!

Just figured out how to import wavs and associate them to in-game conversations. :)

The scripting language for building adventures is very powerful. It's basically just C, with a bunch of predefined functions and variables you can mess with.

This game is so great!!
