I have absolutely no idea what is going on.

BCSearch is at version 1.4 now... or maybe it was 1.6. hey, I'm not supposed to keep track of these things, am I? Also it's a file search program, not for web searches :)


heh, the older versions were... interesting. Take for example the instant crash when using the Directory Size Analyzer.


Also I've discovered that it doesn't want to work on windows 2000. But it's Microsoft's fault, their XML library won't load.

(and yes, you guessed it, I've already set to writing my own small parser to deal with that problem).

For the most part I've become intrigued by two games, "Poing" a arkanoid clone, and "walls" a clone of "Tron" as well as snake games.

I've been pondering how gameplay would work if I was to merge the two gameplay ideas into one game- instead of a paddle to bounce the balls around perhaps a snake?

At the same time I'm trying to get Poing into a state where the bugs aren't quite so embarassing. That being said I have had some short stints working on a recent idea of mine, something of a "hijackthis" clone, which I dubbed "possumfix".


I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

But will it work with CGA?
