A couple of guys that I went to school with have gone on to live the dream – they’ve started their own video game company, called Shadowcat Productions. I just wanted to take a moment to draw some attention to one of their current projects, an arcade game called Battleshape. As the name would suggest, it’s very Geometry Wars, but with a few new twists and some really cool effects. Check it out under “Other Projects” and “Battleshape”

About This Site
- My name is Jonathan Fritz, an Honours Computer Science student with a minor in History at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario. This is my blog, if that's what you must call it. Moreover, it is intended as a record of my personal work and musings about politics and technology. Here you will find not only my ramblings, but a selection of small programs that I've worked on for both school and pleasure.
