Fun with source control

I've been doing a lot of clean up on my code, however many of my changes haven't made their way to the project at http://grue.codeplex.com just yet. For some time now I've been using two different source repositories. Back before I created the project on codeplex I had set up my own TFS 2010 server. I did this both to keep better track of the changes I was making and to become more familiar with TFS 2010, which I really enjoy using. I still check my changes into my TFS and copy these files over to a duplicate project for uploading to codeplex (not as often as I should). I probably ought to just switch entirely over to codeplex, but haven't because I haven't had time to look into what I might be giving up by doing so.

Despite my procrastination, I did manage to add upper window support a while back, making most games playable now. My next update will likely include support for color. I'm also planning on putting up at least one frontend as an example, but I haven't decided which would be the best to use. I have frontends for a variety of platforms: console, WPF, Xbox, etc. The console is a good example of a simple frontend without a lot of distracting code, but it would prohibit demonstrating more advanced features, like mouse input or graphics.
