Post What's on Your Mind

I've been trying to find work and I was ready to pitch a really awesome piece of technology to a company, but that's not going to pan out, so now I'm developing the idea a bit more before I build it myself.

EDIT: People really don't know what they want. I had first hand experience last night of someone asking for a 'faster horse', when I was explaining about 'inventing a car'.
 
Had my second session of therapy yesterday. It's going really well and I'm feeling positive after the sessions which is strange.
Last night as I was going to bed I noticed a sort of emptiness in my mind. Almost like clarity but there wasn't a specific realization, it was just all the fears and feelings weren't nagging at me.

College is going better too. I have had to renegotiate some deadlines that I missed but I'm catching up on them now and everything feels a little more manageable. I also feel like I'm finally understanding C#. It really took me a while to click with it but now I'm getting it and it's really nice. I'm just finishing up my late coding assignment and I will move straight onto my current coding assignment I think.
 
If anyone wants to see some of my C# code I made a raycaster for a friend learning C# some time ago: Download .zip Visual Studio project here.

I commented it as much as possible. Has some advanced techniques such as Intermediate Language byte code instructions, threading events, parallel for loop, pinned memory. No pointers are used, so it's all in protected mode C#.

game idea

what if tetris but rather than the blocks slowly falling you have to slam em down in time with the music
EDIT: 90, 180 & 270 rotation would be directly mapped to 3 different keys but idk how left and right would be done accurately in a small space of time
EDIT2: the average tetris playing field is 10 units wide, but we can achieve 9 units of direct instant control by having LB and RB move the piece to x=2 and x=8 with x=5 as default, then using the dpad for granular control

Might be too frantic, maybe reward the player as opposed to penalizing?
itd start off super slow, like semibreves at 80bpm (about 5 seconds for each piece) which is pretty long for Tetris if you're playing to win. Oh did I mention multiplayer?
