Friday

Take a few minutes while I'm setting up to make sure that you have the DirectX SDK installed on your computer; check "Start" "Programs", it should be there.

Then we're going to check out the fish tank (gaming engine).

If there's time, we'll add another sprite to the fish tank.

Oral Presentation Order

First things first... Get your presentation open. On the left hand side of the screen, click "file" then click "save as ppt". Save the file to your flash drive. You'll need the presentation saved there so you can plug into my computer.

You then need to upload your presentation via the new [extra-pretty] upload page- which can be found here, bookmark it.

Here's the presentation order:
  1. Satan (Savannah)
  2. Taylor
  3. Steel
  4. Mike
  5. Nick
  6. Josh
  7. Sarah
  8. Lee
  9. Jake (maybe)
