Man...

It now becomes obvious to me that programming is a tough job. Actually I realized it before already but then I thought it would become easier. But now although I have learned a lot during the past few years, I still encounter problems which I just have no answer of.
For example, now I have setup the basic robot model and WASD control, I encounter a weird problem. Actually I have no idea if it's a problem at all. But it just looks to me the animation stagger a little every few 0.1 second. I have set things up, including the timer, the same as the previous project, so why do I see this thing which I have never seen before? I have no clue what it is.
So next I thought it would be nice to setup the frame rate display to check if it's just the lower frame rate in Debug mode that's causing the problem. I thought I would setup CEGUI first because I always wanted to try library, and I am too lazy to setup my own GUI library again when someone else already did a similar thing. And ha...after I set it up all the problems starts to pop up and burying me alive. First of all there seem to be a incompatible issues between CEGUI and Windows Form (or CLR), then after I setup another project using Win32 project, it compiles but has a StackOverflow problem...which I have absolutely no clue how it occurs.
Eventually I will solve the problem most likely. But I just realize once again how tough software development can be even if I have certain amount experience in it...no wonder people usually underestimate time required during development, because it looks straight forward but then problems big and small just keep poping up. I wonder if most programmers in this world have similar experience.


And here is how the game looks now. No proper lighting has been set yet, only color value is used. I think this time I should also try Cel shading...it might be a cheap way to make things look good (I highly doubt it but it's worth a try)
