Default [LATE BETA] Manic Miner for Zune

All

Go to gameprojects.com to download the code. I've only included the Zune same code base but will also run on Windows and Xbox 360.

Here's a YouTube link: .

Appreciate any feedback you have. If there's interest, I'll add sound fx and fix up a couple more of the levels.

Cheers, Gunston.

Default Awesome

I haven't put it on my Zune yet, but after watching the video I must say I do like the idea that you can flip it any direction and zoom in and out. I am assuming that when you flip it though the controls flip as well? I only ever saw you actually play the game with the controls on the left. I guess I'll just have to try it out to see for myself. It looks great so far and I can't wait.

Hey! I did not download yet, but I will. From the video it looks great! I really love the "turn the screen" thingy... very cool feature.

Great job so far. I guess this will become a "classic" on the Zune!

Re rotation: yes the in-game controls 'honor' the current screen rotation. When in pause or in the title screens, however, Up / Down = Zoom and Left / Right = Rotate when holding the Zune in the 'normal' portrait way. Having the zoom / rotate controls themselves change when the screen rotates is not good!

Also, pressing Up or the play / pause button makes Willy jump. This means you can play one-handed by pressing the a corner of the Zune pad to execute a jump in that direction. Back pauses the game; press Back again to quit to the title screens; press back again to quit the game.

Please let me know how you get on building / deploying to the Zune and how the game plays.

The game's a little brutal as most things will kill you. I haven't put a 'skip level' cheat in the Zune version but on Windows / Xbox 360, page up / down or left / right trigger switch levels.

Enjoy.

It looks nice, but one question, is it Zune 30 compatible?

Should work on Zune 30 - doesn't use the touch pad controls, just the clicky bits. Please let me know as I just have a Zune 8GB.

Re screen cut-off: sorry, that's a 'feature'.

@Nathan: thanks for the Zune 30 info. Your reward is a namecheck against the YouTube video.

Cheers.

Perversely and intentionally, level 1 is harder than level 2... to start from level 2 (or any other level), open up GameScreen.cs, go to line 248 and change the following number to whatever you fancy:

this.Level = 0;

0 = level 1, 1 = level 2, 2 = level 3 and so on. C# (like *all* good programming languages) starts counting from zero.

Or, play around with ClassicCaverns.xml to remove the bad guys, remove the deadly plants, do whatever.

Re-build, re-deploy to Zune and you have a new game!

[EDIT: if you change ClassicCaverns.xml, make sure you test first by running the game using F5 from Visual Studio Express 2008 with your Zune connected - this will catch any bugs in your layout. Just realised this might not be the easiest thing to do - it's not a user-friendly level editor or anything.]

Hope this helps.

Cheers.
