Default [DEMO][SOURCE CODE] Air Hockey
Hey all,

I just got my ZuneHD and naturally am already coding on it . Just wanted to share this little project to show how capable the Zune is of very smooth and quick game development.

I spent about 3 hours last night working on this, it defintely has its issues, but it's pretty impressive what can be done on this device with such a small amount of work!

Update #2:
I have posted the source project on my blog (soon to be the source for much more Zune programming goodness:
Ctrl+Z: Zune HD Sample Project - Air Hockey


Update:
You can now download the demo here:
AirHockey.ccgame - Windows Live



I'll probably be posting the source code sometime soon, as well as that to many other small projects as I have free weekends .

Enjoy!

Is there anyway of keeping score?

Not yet... I'll probably flesh it out with some UI and do a fit/finish pass on it; then post the code or perhaps some sort of workshop.

Just an idea but......... maybe since the goal isn't anything like traditional air hockey, you could give the table(background) a nice futuristic-kinda-looking(yes, this word is in the newest dictionary) theme to match the goal. Again just an idea.

Just realized the edited title doesn't make its way back to the forum listing. Check the first post for the project source code.

The disc seems to act more like a basketball than a puck. Nevertheless, this looks like some awesome work that really takes advantage of the touchscreen.

Thanks! I actually fixed up the disc movement a lot in the demo version I posted. I'll see about posting a new video.
