 +Final and compiling version of the source code package, including all textures and sounds. Xbox version can be made by just creating a copy of this.
 +
 +We noticed some users might have trouble with the background song if Windows Media Player has been uninstalled. This seems to be because we use the MediaPlayer class to play the music (just like every other group). NOTE, game won't work without XBox-pad controller.

Enemies will swarm from all directions at the players. Some examples are the legendary Finnish cave shooter Wings and an inexpensive but very entertaining downloadable game from Xbox Live and Steam called Geometry Wars.
  
 The game will be for 1-2 players at first and maybe for up to 4 in the end. Camera will be stable, possibly adding scrolling later on. To avoid split screen, zooming would be needed to make sure all the players stay visible. The game will be for 1-2 players at first and maybe for up to 4 in the end.

   * Collision checks with ships, enemies and projectiles all pretty much work now so you can kill enemies and they can 'kill' you (the controls just freeze for now).   * Collision checks with ships, enemies and projectiles all pretty much work now so you can kill enemies and they can 'kill' you (the controls just freeze for now).

 +  * REALITY: 
 +    * We added our own textures to the game. And then spent the whole day trying to make the menu work. Thanks for the original source code goes to Team Null Pointer Exception. We rewrote it from like 300 lines of code to 80 lines though... 
 +    * Then we had major problems with the resolution on Xbox. We had used three different classes to determine screen width and height in different situations. When we used just one class our menu screen finally flipped from halfway off the screen to where it should be. Still because of the projector little slices from the sides where cut off. On the PC everything looked just fine the whole time. Finally: Release Candidate 1!
