This is my first entry as I had been avoiding the site at least initially so that my idea would be original. Of course, it was an obvious one, so there are bound to be similar games. Anyway, at this point the game engine seems to be functioning. The play fields are drawing correctly, the enemies are randomly placed and run around nicely, and the player can move and shoot. Some major problems still exist, however, including:

• junk in the yard, like a house, fences, etc.
• scoring and status display
• leveling up
• menu

The list above only includes things that need to be programmed. No artwork exists yet either, which probably isn't a good thing. I'm really hoping to add some fun music of some sort as I recently discovered LMMS. However, I have a few free evenings coming up where i should be able to wrap things up in time. Or at least lets hope so.

I feel pretty good though that the game actually starts and runs. there's at least something to look at...
