internal void Update(GameTime gameTime)
{
float timeDelta = (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds;
// Add velocity to the current position.

Imagine Cup 2009

Registration is open for IC 2009 at the official site.

Check out the categories for next year, and start preparing for Egypt!

The theme is kind of open (Solve the World's Toughest Problems), you can focus your efforts in whatever you see fit, not restricted to one social problem like

Good luck!
