A New Direction

After several days of reviewing the code in search of our notorious memory leak, I came to a tough realization:  re-implementing the project from the ground up would be easier.  I didn't want to make this decision all on my own though.  So, I had a discussion with my brother.  We agreed to take the experience thus far as an education in the development process and are taking a much more formal approach this time through.

Now, we won't have the obstacles that we had before.  I won't be learning a new programming language, we won't be trying to figure out how to get his graphics to interact with my code, etc.  As my brother says, "It's always easier the third time."  Hopefully, we can count the initial prototype as "the first time," which puts us snugly on the third time now. :-)
