VB.NET Book

If only things were so simple now! It takes a revolutionary game like Halo or Guitar Hero to win the video game lottery these days... there are so many people vying for the spot.

I could not agree more. Personally, I feel, you would stand a better chance at winning the lottery than making it big time from a video game these days, which is probably why I turned down the offer to spend years of my life learning C# for the Xbox. Ugh, you practically need an absolute breakthrough to get a game published for the Xbox.

The code for Tetris was posted many moons ago: http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb...6803&lngWId=10

Maybe the next big thing in games (although I have no idea of games as I don't play...) might be the 3D systems with gloves full of sensors, 3D screens or 3D glasses or better a suit to wear and "live" the game. I fear that this will soon be a reality and player will escape his environment to live his virtual reality. I wonder if he could escape then back...

The SMS (Sega Master System) -- was the first console to bring out 3D glasses, but they sold poorly due to the supporting games, or rather lack of. The Nintendo Wii has controllers with built-in sensors that allow the player to play a game of tennis by swinging the controller as apposed to pushing buttons. Where it is all headed is anyone's guess. The next 20-years will be very interesting.

I'm keen to do one more game: DEAD or Alive.

I need a graphic artist, a psychologist, and 50K to pull it off. Lots of spy ware included, and plenty of colorful characters, people are guaranteed to absolutely love it.

I think that this game would prove to be an enormous asset. I know of dozens of websites which would publish an executable.

Speaking of online executable, have you seen this?

I have been playing with it for about a year now, lots of fun.

Trent, I finally opened up the pac.zip file, and it is just the exe. Did you intend to post the source code?

Thanks!

A little OT -
Have you seen the wiimote library available for .NET? I've been playing with this for a week reading all the accelerometer, button, battery, IR information from it over bluetooth. It is Sweeeeeeet! I'm planning on utilizing the wii remote to control a little servo controlled robot I've got for a robotics presentation for a Jr. High school presentation.
