Well it’s been an eventful weekend.

The Website went up properly on the Friday night and over the last few days has had about fifty hits. It says 90+ but 40 of them are from me! I’ll have to set up a little job to extract the hit count without actually firing off the counter itself. As I’m now designing the web service it might be useful to pass a request through to the data access layer just to retrieve the hits. Even Bigger Brother, Every time I get a hit, it could email me with the browser information.

As noted before, the sound code is ready. I’ve just got to get the wav down to a reasonable size before testing it. I’m aiming for a type electronic zapping sound just to give it an old school feel. I also now have a pseudo code design for the web service’s methods so I’m really beginning to hit the C# books now as well.

On other news, I’ve also coded the screen size selection and tested it using the gamecanvas class. One of the good things that I’ve discovered is that when the game class is set to full screen, it takes up the whole of the Nokia Screen, not the partial screen like the old canvas class used too. This is excellent news because it removes the last dependency on the Nokia custom classes and when used with the screen re-sizing, it will run on a lot more phones.

Hopefully a new Beta by the end of the Week.
