Lightbulb <!> [G] ZunePong 0.1.1

Hey guys,

Just got my Zune HD a few days ago and have been working on coding a couple games =)

Currently I'm working on a two player (yay multi touch!) pong/hockey game.

You can see how it's going here: ZuneCode

I'll release an alpha version of it tomorrow, but you can see a screenshot on my blog - let me know if you have any suggestions or features you'd want in!

Thanks & glad to be part of the community =)

Tommy

Looks cool! You should make it semi-3-dimensional (looking from the perspective of the player behind the air-hockey table), that would be sweet. Even though it would take like 20x more work.
Also, could you release a basic pong app? With the original black and white lines, and paddles that move along each edge? It would be nice to see a remake of the classic with multiplayer capabilities, and I'm sure it wouldn't take much to make this basic app.
Keep up the good work!

I agree with combatfetus, I think an original pong application would be really cool and fun to pass time... but I LOVE air hockey and it looks really good dude, great job and I can wait to test it out.

are they going to be two different games completely, or will you have the two in the same game?

There's a bunch of shots on the blog, i'll post a few here too though. I'll work on putting together a quick video =)

Glad you guys like it so far! Single player is definitely in the works, AI is always tricky to get right - can't be too hard or too easy.

Also as a little tease:
ZuneCode » Pong =O

Here are some pics of the icehockey game:

this is very nice! Once this gets some AI and wireless multiplayer I could see this forming into something even more epic!

Excellent game, and certainly one of the most worthwhile homebrew programs so far. One thing I'd mention, though, is that the touch precision for the red player's bumper is off. That makes it pretty much impossible for the red player to get the puck off of their back wall, because they can't move the bumper back far enough without their finger going off the screen.

Well it shouldnt take that long for him, it looks like the game he has now, with lines instead of circles, and the restrictions for the bumpers need to be changed.

to OP: I just had an idea. This game could be transformed into a Breakout port! Just an idea that popped into my mind

connerwoods - pong is basically done, it needs some tweaks to collision detection and such though, i'll probably release an alpha at the end of this week

Fallenarms3 - thanks for the input =) i think i usually tested with the blue player more so i must have missed that, let me know if you find anything else!

theguywholoveszunehd - breakout eh...could be a good next step
