Over 10,000 downloads to date
Averaging 1,000 per month

10. POKER CONQUEST FEEDBACK

11. YEAH, BUT WHAT HAVE I BEEN
DOING FOR 24HRS?
Removing WindowsPlatform dependencies from GameLogic
(So game logic can be ported to other platforms)
Adding support for more than 2 players
Mainly fixing broken unit tests
Lots and lots of refactoring

12. • An introduction to learn how to code with Visual Studio and C#
• Need to update UI
• Need to add content for each ‘lesson’
• Possibly ‘video’/YouTube channel

13. SUMMARY
I need to stop ‘starting’ projects and start ‘finishing’ them
Am always looking for people to collaborate with
