My Zune Quiz

[Tiptup300]

BETA - Intend to finish





Next Features

Installer (RIG DP 0.5.3) (not functional with Zune 3.0 and up)
Source code (should work properly)

[memzeh]

It keeps saying "Unable to deploy" and giving me an error message, which is very sad, because your quiz looks amazing.

Also, I see that the background on your quiz's RIG has Weezer's Red Album on it, and I love that album. I just had to say that. lol

Download Rig

ah so this... is kinda like it plays the song.... then you guess the artist and which song? and how does it read the song database? how well does it work?

[memzeh]

Will the background of the game show my albums, or is it just like it is in your screenshot all the time?

[Y0SHi]

I tip my hat to TipTup.
Nice interface, very well done.

[xXpainfullXx]

It LOOKS very nice
and the installer would make all things a hell of alot easier

BUT

It errors, it cant find a path to a runtime or something
any ideas?

[jacecat]

I'll definetely try it out and see what happens

I've got exacly the same error i think. Does this happen to everyone who tries to deploy?

The problem was that the application files had to be in their own subdirectory, rather than mixed in with the RIG config files. Additionally, there has to be an empty directory for each runtime used by RIG (runtimes\3.0.9.10\ in this case).

I made a fixed version, which you can download off MediaFire here.

Edit: Link fixed, thanks !Truck.

Well good job, but the link is dead cause i keep getting a page load error, that the site is taking to long to load and timed out

Overall i'm pretty impressed. I really like that it uses my own album art in the background. Just a few suggestions.

• On the questions where is asks you about the longest/shortest it would be nice to see the artist as well. I have a few songs that have the same names even though the songs are completely different and it's hard to know which ones shorter when I don't know which version it is.
• On the ones that ask most or least played it shows the playcount at the bottom of the screen next to the song title.
• On the ones that play a sample the sample is slow to start and usually keeps playing through the next question. Personally these are my favorite questions since I at least get to hear some music.

Like I said though, i'm very impressed with the game. It's very nice and one of my favorites.

i really like the random arrangement of albums in the background. it's much like the now playing in the zune software. It's really nice! good work, too, this asks more than just a question about a ten second clip, you actually have to know your music!

zune passs music dont work =(

that is by design. Pass songs doesnt work in any XNA apps.

[Red Sky]

any DRM-ed music won't work from within XNA. it's a security thing.

1) Hadn't thought about that, will implement.
2) Heh, beta testing, what can I say!?
3) Can't really improve the load speeds, but I can have it stop after each question. I also will allow users to select the frequency of questions so that you can stop the ones you don't like and make your favorites appear much more often. You will also be able to disable song playing ones so that you can play with drm tracks.
