Sigh! Better late then never...

On June 13 I made a blog entry titled "Hint: noslO nosaJ "Nutty Soup"

This post if any of you might have figured out, refers to Jason Olson's blog regarding 2D game game developemnt using managed DX.

Well instead of leaving you hanging and scratching you heads. I'll just tell you. I have taken the C# code from the Console and Command classes and converted them to VB.NET. I have also added some functionality, as well as stipped some out.

The console code Jason has on his blog was too tightly coupled with the game that he was making so in order to simplify and make the console code more easily portable and resuable I removed the rendering code so that the console now calls a delegate that the programmer specifies rather then the console rendering itself.

But anyway, I will be posting the code as well as a example of the console code in action, fairly soon. I am planning on making a video demo that will take you thru understanding how the console works and what changes I made to it etc. As well as demonstrate the power that having a console in your game can be.
