[BETA] ZunePong [Multiplayer]

[madkillers]

wow happy and excited that the community as a whole has found the way to tap into the multiplayer function this opens a whole new dimension of gameing and hopefully will be the catalyst to launch the zune sales in to oblivion

[spenc938]

You should use that theme to create a background for the game istelf while playing... it'd be tight.

[Tolkan]

Hey sure that'll be a great idea, I'll upload the background on its own But I don't know the file name for it, but Amoo3 would sort that out... Hey Amoo3, could you use .GIFs on the game, as that way I could create an animated background during game play and seen as though it looks like clouds i could have flashing lights, such as lightning and thunder in it too...

Just a though, thanks.

[amoo3]

Actually Im not sure if I can use an animated GIF. I could give it a try.

[NuklHed92]

I found out that you cannot display animated GIFs. The only way to do animation is looping through a bunch of images.

It really isn't a new idea to play multiplayer games over wifi. the Nintendo DS has been out for 3 or 4 years and has this capability although obviously much more developed since the CS is a gaming console and not an MP3 player. It deffinately is a breakthrough for zune gaming though.

You should try and make a version of pong in which the background is rainbow and has the consistency of water, and as the pong ball travels across the screen, it pushes through the rainbow like it would push through water.
Call it AcidPong

In short, recreate this for the zune:

Dude... Thats freaking awesome!
There are other projects I want to work on, but I will seriously consider this!

[bjmiller121]

Here's my customized 'theme' for zpong. Download the rar and take the images and replace them with the corresponding ones in zunepong -> content.

[itsjareds]

This is the best multiplayer pong game so far

The clean exit was an easy fix

Where you have the coding that says this.Exit(); , add the lines in red:

                case menuState:
                    if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Buttons.Back == ButtonState.Pressed && count > secondsTillPress)
                    {
                        count = 0;
                        MediaPlayer.Stop();
                        albuminfoloader.Abort();
                        this.Exit();
                    }

There you go! Thanks for the nice game

[LedZepp]
