So I made two new videos, but here's the problem: They are too long! Your probably thinking, "Well trim them?" but I can't find any (free) software to edit a video that doesn't ruin the quality when it's rendered. One of them is the next SDL Video Tutorial, so I just need to get a chance to trim it, and it will be up (I've had this done for quite some time now!). The other video shows off the new stuff in Charge.

So I've implemented a skeleton of each enemy, so now I just need to program some specific AI. Right now, I'm still planning groups out. I started implementing them, but the implementation was getting real ugly, so I wiped it out.

So onto what I HAVE done. I made a Health System, so now the player has a health box, and lives system is in place (but has no effect for testing purposes). Also, I have a power up system. Currently there is only health and weapon powerups, but the system actually works well.

So now I need to put a lot of work into this AI. Really this is going to be the hardest part of the programming.

Honestly though, I can't wait to finish it. I'm excited to get some experience with AI =D.

Well that's it for now =D.
