Hey, so I started creating a game after I found out about this:
Philly Code Writing Month started with this question on twitter:
“Is there a coding equivalent to @NaNoWriMo?”Now there is. No rules other than be in Philly or the suburbs, take a project and bring it to a state people can try it out by the end of the month.
http://phillycowrimo.wordpress.com/I've decided to make a dragon/fantasy themed shmup targeting Windows Phone 7 using XNA.
Planned Features:1.dragon riding player avatar
2. magic (the "bombs" of the game)
3. alternate routes
-change orientation of phone to go from vertical to horizontal shooter and take out ground based enemies, take alternate path through stage, etc.
Day 1 & 2:I'm trying to leverage prebuilt code as much as possible from the create.msdn.com, xnawiki websites as possible. Just adding and modifying what I need for use in my game.
1. Menus up and running
2. Drawing circles for collision debugging
...
Wish me luck!
