It's been a while, but I've surfaced with more news. While re-reading ( http://microsoft.com/xna/ )Microsoft XNA article, I noticed it said Xbox Live functionality would be available to Windows developers. Is it just me or do I smell Xbox Live Aware in HM4.5/5?
Finally uploaded some code. Check it out, though alot of the third party stuff will be cut out and replaced with my own code soon (they were just placeholders).
I ran into some issues with Visual Studio, and I'm currently rewriting the app, now that I've fixed a component bug (which caused the whole project to die, beyond salvation). The first source upload will be up soon, either tonight or tomorrow. It'll be in C# .NET (v1.1), and requires VS.NET 2003 to compile, build, and design. Release date for the public beta will be some time in July, I should think.
