I have had trouble taking pictures of my zune for screenshots, without getting a completely washed out screen. It anyone has ideas on how to get clear screenshots, they would be appreciated.

I usually just take a photo of the Zune with my phone. The photos are blurry, but usually not washed out.

[to mrgoodnight] can you tell me what brightness setting your Zune is on. Those pictures were clearer than any that I could get.

EndUnknown · 09-10-2008, 07:45 PM

does this work on the zune 30, or just touchpad zunes?

i always keep my zune on its lowest brightness. check to see if your camera has macro setting, its usually represented as a flower.

the setting is used to take close up pictures.

Looks great can't wait for more.

Nathan Tornquist · 09-13-2008, 06:56 AM

Space Invaders will be the next game.

Way to use a pokemon background for Snake.

Really nice menu and a great job. Can't wait for duck hunt.

xlXPunkRockerXIx · 09-15-2008, 04:47 PM

I love the new menu and i am curious to see how you'll work duck hunt on a zune. Also asteroids has already been created so maybe you could get permission from the creator to put it in with these other classics. but all in all great game and i cant wait for the next version.

Nathan Tornquist · 09-15-2008, 06:42 PM

Duck Hunt will be like the version created for the Texas Instruments Graphing calculators. Many people at my school play the game, so I will include it. As far as asteroids, I will write it myself, because I want to learn how to do ray based shooting and active rotation rendering.

Hi,

not wanting to hurry you up, but what is your estimated time frame on the completion of ALL the games inside Arcade Classic ?

Thanks.

Nathan Tornquist · 09-21-2008, 01:17 PM

I will probably release one game per month-ish, it mostly depends on how much time it takes to get the images the way I want, and how much work I have.

techfreak243 · 09-21-2008, 01:51 PM

is this made for XNA GS 3.0 Beta?
