[CTP, Beta] Pong [Multiplayer]

[Techy Dude]

hey nurta can u put that in a zip

[MarcusMaximus]

new version up. Added touch-sensativity. Will get menu tomorrow(possible multiplayer tomorrow also.)

[MarcusMaximus]

Another new version. This time I added visualization in the background and sparks that come out of the ball when it hits stuff.

[MarcusMaximus]

Yet another new version. I decided to write the menu back in from scratch. Turned out rather nicer. Also added back in the countdown and the ability to turn the touch pad controls on or off.

I'm liking the updates you keep popping out. They're nice. Good Work!

hello i was gona download your game but when i went to it download the link didint work.

plz fix link whould love to see how it looks with the new updates

[MarcusMaximus]

Oops! For some reason the permissions were out of wack on it. I opened up read/execute permissions on it so everyone should be able to dl it now.

[MarcusMaximus]

fixed some pretty big bugs(was accidentally resetting the score every time the user or computer scored, so it looked like it was just always 0 and any difficulty above 1 made the game completely impossible). Fixes are up on the first post.

[MarcusMaximus]

hehe, I fleshed out the Music Menu so you can now choose whether or not to shuffle and choose a playlist(default is "all" which plays all music on your device) or an artist to play. Also, if you were already playing music, it should now just continue to play it, but you can still choose a different artist/playlist to play from.

[MarcusMaximus]

I added multiplayer! It hasn't been tested cause I only have 1 zune to use so if you have 2 zunes please try it out and let me know how, if at all, it works.

[mikenike]

very nice, let me know if anyone tests this successfully

[MarcusMaximus]

I decided to merge the multiplayer/non-multiplayer versions so just download Pong.zip for either. The multiplayer has no impact on singleplayer play so it doesn't really matter. Also, I added a little menu that comes up when you pause the game that allows you to pause the music as well as all the other options from the music menu(choose playlist, artist, and whether or not to shuffle) Also, the context menu somewhat parallels the one the zune normally has so it looks pretty nice

[MarcusMaximus]

I took out the deadzone so touch pad sensativity should be better now

[miceylulu]

I tried downloading it, but as I was extracting it said, "UNEXPECTED END OF FILE." And wouldn't continue. Any help?

hey man the same thing mappened to me. whats happening!

[MarcusMaximus]

hmm that was weird, it didn't make the zip file correctly. Anyway I put up one that works.

[miceylulu]

Yeah, so I tried out the new version and when I was changing the artist, my Zune went black and no buttons did anything. I plugged it into the computer and the XNA sync came on, so I could restart by exiting that, so, yeah...I'm not using this pong anymore... Sorry

hey alright! thanks for that link, it works fine now. by the way, the multiplayer works fine, right?

[MarcusMaximus]

hmm that doesn't sound like anything in my code, I wouldn't have any control over anything like that, probably a bug in XNA

Still haven't been able to test it. I was gonna test it tonight but my girlfriend forgot her cord for her zune so I can't put my game on hers Feel free to try it out, it's not like any of these games can cause any harm to the zune.
