  10. 12 PM • ……A SQUARE!!!!!! • But this time in world coordinates, properly scaled, rotated and translated (in that order!) • 6 hours of blood, sweat and tears (lots of tears) REALLY paid off. We have a square.

  15. 4 AM • Input works, the game is playable. • Yay us.

  16. What did we learn? • A good architecture makes porting straightforward • Predictable, structured behavior == awesome • Setting up initial rendering stuff is a pain • Thanks for your help, Chris Keyser!!!! • Go to hell and die, ID3DXMatrixStack!

  17. BUT WAIT!!! THERE’S MORE! • If you’re up at 4 AM to get stuff to work… • …you might as well stay up ‘til 7 AM and implement scoring, win/lose conditions and multiplayer.
