[Project] My XNA (C#) 2D Game Progress

**'Bruno** · 03-01-2010

Well, I'm at Hospital for about a week or so, I started to get bored and today I decided to Continue... or let's say... Restart the old game I was making a few weeks ago.

For those who don't know, XNA is a "upgrade" for C# (like the DirectX for C++), Contains things to make games and more... etc...

The game I was making was like Space Invaders, but actually I decided to do a Big Upgrade (I mean.. Completly change the game).

The game is not finished but well, i want to share it since i feel bored

The old Game was: https://www.mpgh.net/forum/31-c-c/114...de-me-xna.html

They might not like look a lot of Different in the first look, but they are.. and a lot.

The old one like I said had:
-The background scrolls (giving the effect of a high speed in space)
-Enemy Ships does move to the sides (way more faster and a bit different from space invaders, to be a bit harder)
-Enemy Ships already shoots
-Player ship already shoots
-Player ship already explodes
-EnemyShips does Evolve to another ones after a few game time.. (fast movement ship for now) Normal -> Advanced -> Boss.

The new one has: (Red ones are the changes)
-The background scrolls (giving the effect of a high speed in space)
-Enemy Ships does come from "Space" in a Verctical way, just like most of every ship games, they come from top moving to the bottom, etc.
-Enemy Ships already shoots
-Player Ship already shot
-Main Ship now moves with mouse and not keyboard

The major difference is the movement they are doing now, I had to Recreate almost the whole code from start (ofc i used a few things i had done before on 1º game, but not many)

I created it like this because i prefer it like that, it's more popular, and in a future it will be better for nice features like upgrades, and also more challenger.

~~ Heres a few Screens of the game: ~~

How it works in a few words:

-It starts by randomly generating a position in X coord where ships (40 ships total, to start) will Respawn like they are coming from top.. then they move etc...
-Ships are randomly shooting (You might Realise that sometimes one ship shoots like 4 times and other's dont even shoot, it's the random).
-It will crash after all the 40 ships Spawn... Did not code further then that...

Future Features to Add:

-Explosion to everyship (quite easy, already have the code from the 1st game, just need to re-use it... and change it a little bit)
-Add Levels (Only the First one which contains 40 Random Ships)
-Add Boss's to the end of each level
-Add Upgrades
-Add MENU (duh.. a game without a menu

)
-And more.. but not before I add these ones.

Update

-Added Explosion Effect on Everything
-Fixed some coords on Shots
-Fixed the fact that before you could shot dead (--'')
-Added level Upgrade (Faster Ships, More Ships, and Faster Shots) (this is not a new level, it's a time on the level when it evolves)
-Fixed other minor Bugs

This is the Game Project, the whole code, etc.. not the .EXE only... For it to run you should have .NET & XNA Installed. Well, just wanted to share it

I will continue with it anyway. By the way the sprites/images from the ships werent made by me.

There are a few things in the code that you might not understand (names of methods, vars, objects, etc.) because sometimes i feel like to write things in Portuguese then english...[/QUOTE]

Do you have XNA installed? if so you might be able to open the project and run it by there... I will see what i can do. But the best way to work is with the project.

The last time I installed your game on my computer it automatically installed some XNA Runtime thing. And it worked fine. Just giving some feedback.

Brinuz, right click the project in msvs and hit publish. that should create an installer(.exe) + runtimes + everything

MAke sure to compile in release mode before doing that tho

**why06** · 03-01-2010
