OMG THEY KILLED KENNY! THOSE BASTARDS KILLED KENNY!

I had my entry 90% completed as well. Now I'll have to start again....

Ok, so I had just started working on a screen transition, which isn't working right, and fuck all else. But that's not the point :-)

I'm in anyway - as for what, I have no idea.

Just don't get so caught up in the graphics that you forget you need to actually code a game around them as well. Not that this has happened to you before.... erm, erm.... Yes, focus, Steve :-)
