-Finished the windowstyle which contains the GUI for the game.
HOUR 2 - Wednesday, July 4, 2007. 1:00 AM - 2:00 AM
-Well, thanks to energy drinks I decided to work for another hour :D
-I got the paralax scrolling to work properly(I'm not using the map editor).
-I got all of the player movement done.
-I got the basic shot finished.
HOUR 3 - Wednesday, July 4, 2007. 2:00 AM - 3:00 AM
-Yup, that's right, still not tired yet...I think this'll be the last hour for tonight though.
-Coded machine gun, sniper rifle, spreadshot shotgun, double-barrel shotgun(that's all for now)

HOUR 6 - Wednesday, July 4, 2007. 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
-Good thing I'm ahead of schedule because this hour definately went by without me producing too much. I spent the whole hour trying to perfect my collision detection script. But now that it's all done I am excited because I can get to work on the enemy AI in the next hour.
HOUR 7 - Wednesday, July 4, 2007, 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM
-You are now able to get points from destroying enemies
-Two enemies created so far.One shoots, the other isn't suppose to.

-Yup, I love late nights :D
-Well, I spent this whole time getting enemies to fire and doing more stuff for detecting collisions. Progress was quite a lot slower during this period then any other period. I hope to make some more progress tomorrow.
