Name That Song

sesmar · 07-01-2008, 06:23 PM

I just purchased my Zune about 5 days ago and after putting every song I could possibly want on it I moved on over to games and came across this forum. Now I know that GuessTheSong has already been written and I download and played with it a for a while; however, it does not quite fit my own personal preference. So I decided to take a crack at my first game for the Zune and write my own version with my own rules and style and this is the what I came up with.

Game Name: NameThatSong
Creator: Sesmar
Version: 1.5.2

UPDATED:
Recompiled to work with XNA 3.0 Beta

Also as a note when changing skins the first time it loads up a new skin it will take a few seconds, do not be alarmed it is not frozen it is just loading in the new textures.

Here is a screen shot of the main game play.

You can download the source here:
Name That Song version 1.5.2

Also I must give credit to shutout5591 as I did use his version of GuessThatSong in order to help me get started with the Zune development in XNA.

I don't know how I have to make such a screenshot, but here's the background:

Button selected:

button unselected:

and that other thing

How do I make those screenshots actually?

The graphics looks great, I will probably put it all together for a optional download from my website and give credit to you for the design. Thanks.

For the screenshot that I made I used the design comps that I made in Microsoft Expression Desgin when I combined all of the parts together to see how it all looked. It was not an actual screenshot from the zune.

Thanks

I did my best.

And I have forgotten this one, the game thumbnail:

That looks GOOD!
But the selected button needs a bit of work.

Thank you for the great comments, as for the ten second time limit that was one of the rules that I personally did not like; however, I maybe able to incorporate that into the options.

Thank you for the interest in my game. I am thinking about making a few more skins myself and packaging them all up and allowing the skin to be changed from within the game so that people can have a choice. It will all depend on how large the game package is with all of the different skins in it.
