So. Our last update was well before the New Year, and since then I regret that circumstances have kept me away from this project. We’ve slowly started to get a first iteration going using XNA, consisting of a simple 2D grid. From there we’ll begin glomming on additional features until we have a sufficient model for a fun and interesting simulation.

It may be slow going for a while yet — but early April is the beginning of a new quarter and a new time schedule. In the meantime I’ll try to provide regular updates on our (albeit slow) progress. I appreciate everyone’s interest in, and encouragement of, the project.
