Day 14 - Missile Command
Remember that old Atari game Missile Command? Surely some of you grew up in the 80's. Google it if you haven't heard of it. There are Flash versions of it out there.
The application I created today randomly acts like you are playing missle command. Bombs and missiles don't drop from the sky, but when clicking ANYTHING you have a 1 in 8 chance of launching a missile. The missile goes to where you clicked, and explodes old school style (read: crappy graphics). It's non-intrusize enough to run all the time - no sound and not too many missle launches.
As usualy, the application resides in the systray. It's a big red target.

the window/control lost focus when the missile shoot starts, I have to wait or re-click to getback the focus.
you could return the control to the last window and keep on top your animation window :)

blogger is having issues
tried to look at the code but it was missing AnAppADay.Utils dlls and code in the zip!
Sadly "AnAppADay.MissileCommand.WinApp.exe - Application Error", "The application failed to initialize properly (0x0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application". The system says.
I'm running Windows XP SP2 fully patched in a Pentium 4 HT with an Nvidia Gforce MX 400 video card with Nvidia SIGNED drivers. DirectX 9.0c (i don't know if that matters). It has mice and keyboard.
Hope this helps somehow.
I would love to be annoyed by your little app.
Cheers!

I dont see how that is a problem. It still acts like its in focus, and if it doesn't focus to previous window you wont see the animation. Its a 'hacky' program, so what do you expect lol?
Onto what i want to report:
There is somewhat of a bug. If you say click alot, and a missile gets shot, if you then click on the top bar of a window twice, as in to make it full screen or not full screen, you can send alot more missiles. Just fiddle around with clicking on the bar to make window smaller/bigger and you'll see what i mean.
Maybe its something to do with control passing and the randomiser getting killed and causing a launch..
