Cleaned up the site a bit -deleted dead links, etc. Also made an update to Asterpong.

NOVEMBER 24, 2000 - Now that I have weekends off, I'm going to get me website back on track. I added a very early version of my new game project: Asterpong. That's right, Asterpong. It's a clone of two very old and popular games. You can download it from the downloads page. Please try it and tell me what you think.

OCTOBER 2, 2000 - Sorry, I haven't really updated my site at all these past 2 months. I've been very busy with school and work but I am going to begin to update the site regularly, mabye even make a few games in the coming weeks.

MAY 16 - 2000 - JusTris is pretty much done except for the sounds and the highscore system. I also changed my name to CipherSoft. It sounds a little more catchy.

APRIL 30, 2000 - Today I totally reconstructed my site. I added a guestbook, a weekly poll, and I also removed the Anim8or page for now. I haven't programmed much lately because I have been golfing and doing other things, but I am still working on my Tetris game with an accompaning tutorial on how to make Tetris. Which should be completed this week sometime. If anything strange happened when you opened my site, please email me at gameprogrammer@excite.com becuase in Netscape 4.7 under Linux, my page didn't load correctly. Please sign my guestbook and participate in the "Weekly Poll".

APRIL 26, 2000 - Check out my new logo here. I know it's a little faded, but its easy to fix. I made it in Photoshop 5.5 in case anyone cares. I'm going to update JusTris later on today, and have an update either later today or tomorrow. I am also thinking of making a piece editor for it sometime soon.

APRIL 24, 2000 - I finally got JusTris working! JusTris is a Tetris clone (JUStin's teTRIS) which I am currently working on, and it is nearly complete. There are still a few bugs though, but the core game is kind of there. I hope to make a tutorial on how to make Tetris with Allegro because many beginners such as my self, find this game difficult to program.

APRIL 18, 2000 - Added alpha version of JusTris (Tetris clone) to downloads section. It uses an algorithm to rotate a piece rather than having seperate arrays for each rotation. Thankyou - Derold Clifford, Ender Wiggin and Chris Tj for helping me out.
