http://www.wycks.net/Rogue/ A current "blog" of my progress on developing a Rogue-Like game using XNA Thu, 27 Mar 2008 01:23:27 GMT ListGarden Program 1.3.1 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss http://www.wycks.net/rogue/ -Updated some of the tiles to look a bit more "tower-ish". This confirms once again that I can't draw
-Content is now streamed from the wycks.net webserver every time you play. This allows me to balance the game on the fly without continually releasing patches.
