Hi all, Okay, so between the not so related to programming full-time work, I've made some improvements to my 2D shooter game "Maximum Destruction" AND have been in touch with Mr. Paul Riche III (original SC2 designer) and UR Quan Masters development team. Both of them allowed me to use the SC2 game images in Fedora's "Extras" portion for free and non-commercial purposes only. I've added sound FX to my game, expanded game area, and did some more debugging. The improved version is on my site at: www.victorsk.webhop.org My next step will be to add menus and preferences using wxWidgets. Please feel free to download and play the current version. I welcome any ideas/feedback you may have to improve it - I want it to be the best possible version for the "Extras" and any advice on how to improve it is certainly welcomed. Thank you. I'll keep you infomed of my progress, Victor.
