Hello, my name is David and I am the lead programmer from team number 623 recently named "Ohm Boyz."(logo will come soon)

There are currently 3 people helping me with any programming involved in this competition and I was finding that it was a waste of man power. Not all of them knew the same thing about the robot and only miniscule changes would be done to the robot code (considering what we are planning for it). We decided that why not make a little game on the side during our regular meetings.

The game would be 2D from an over the top view where robots fights till the very end. We programming in C++, using DirectDraw and DirectInput for graphics and input, respectively. No one knows DirectSound to add music but I might just learn it and do it myself later. I think this project is a good use of a small team and will show off the talents of other teams' programmers much better than what PBASIC robot code will do.

A team "game" would make a nice aside competition(not official of course).

I have attached a zip file to this post of the source code and VC++ project files. If you have a problem opening the worspace, you can just create your own workspace and empty Win32 project(tested on both VC++.Net and VC++ 6.0), and include all of the source and header files in the zip file. Then go to the Project->Settings menu and link "dinput8.lib", "ddraw.lib", "dxguid.lib", and "winmm.lib". That should enable you to compile the project yourself.
