Unfortunately, I was unable to finish before the deadline and to be honest with you, I decided that my whole approach was wrong dealing with bitmaps. I needed a new approach I started to work with C#, but work has been hectic lately and I have been unable to work on it further. This weekend I'm headed down to Philly for American Video Game Expo, so that should be fun and also educational. I would not have time to work on it down there so when I get back hopefully I can get back on the right foot.

I couldn't get past the point of repainting, it simply would not work and I just felt that it was the incorrect way of doing it. I was beginning to do some research on DirectX or OpenGL for graphics, but that's where I ended. Thanks to everyone that helped and supported me on this one.

Martin, please feel free to quote me. I think with a little work you have a really nice two player game there, so I wouldn't drop it to get on with the other projects I'm sure you have brewing.

Thanks. Indeed I have other games on my mind to do and I'm also trying to implement the one selected on the No Jumping Challenge but I will pursue the completion of this game as that's one of the goals I'm trying to reach: To finish the projects.

Thank you all again and hopping to know of the next Programming Challenge

Congratulations! You haven't truly made it in the games industry until someone has stolen your idea.
