Got in on this last year with all good intentions... never really did anything with it thou

Thinking of entering Image Cup this year and using XNA 3.1... but just needs some time/ideas and a team.. :S

I thought it was free before? I have had 3.1 for a while, and never bought it . Actually might be an express version. Anyhow, never got into it too much, though I know it is good for those who are good at programming.

<-- self proclaimed "best programmer in the world, ever".


... just ask mpeyper.

[mpeyper]

... its true

if he cant do something, give him like an hour and hell have a prototype that would make bill gates a little jealous

lol what am i saying?? he doesnt bother with prototypes... he just pumps out commercial quality code first time, every time

(the worst part is that im not kidding)
