9/09/09	Today I learned: game genres, what made popular games, and the history of games. I learned about porting and how some games can be ported and others can't. The teacher asked us a question and put us in groups to discuss and answer them. I learned in my group: the advantages and disadvantages of consoles, PCs, and handhelds. Finally, we got to work on Alice Skater a little bit and the homework was the Japanese Fan Girl.

The TDD contians the a list of the programs used to make the game, and patches.
