Oh my lord, I have seen the future of gaming and it is pigeons in street sweepers. Tonight's lecture basically devolved into watching you tube videos of Japanese pigeon dating games and the most bizarre simulator games ever....awesome....
But seriously, have been doing game programming for nearly 9 weeks and now it's time to turn our minds to assignment 2, a 2D XNA game. We have to come up with a basic concept of what we would like to do, whether it a scrolling shooter or platfrom or puzzle game...anything really, it's up to us BUT do remember you have to bloody code the bugger !!!!
I think I'd like to code some kind of scrolling platform game, in the style of Doodlejump or the old classic "Rainbow Islands", with slightly less rainbows........er....."Islands" then.... Not entirely sure I get my head around the gravity thing though even though a couple of the guys in the class have commented and think it's easier than it is.....(Probably true and my head is over complicating the issue as usual )
There is a platform game in my XNA book, so I might code that and see if I can get my head around it.
Will speak to Matt on Thursday and see what he thinks...
So, just time for a quick go on Delivery Truck simulator before bed me thinks......
