Since I've gotten a couple emails about the status of my game development series, I thought I would post an update here. My current plan is to await the summer release of the MDX SDK. There are some really cool improvements in the release that will make the articles much easier to understand and make DirectX more accessible to us game praogramming newbies. This time off will also allow me to finish off some other articles that I have on my plate. I will keep you all posted when the status of this changes. Thanks for showing such interest in the articles, it truly is encouraging to know you people are getting something out of them.
