Ludum Dare » NyanNyanKoneko http://www.ludumdare.com/compo A tri-annual 48 hour solo game development competition.

Anyway, I’m in a bit of a bind. I don’t have any place to  host my images or files. I signed up for free hosting but it needs to be “approved” first. I have no idea how long that’s going to take.

I know I can use a site like tinypic to upload screenshots, but I don’t know of any file-hosting service I like. Well, if it’s Sunday and I still don’t have a web site, I’ll just have to figure something out.

Anyway, I look forward to this competition. I’m going to use Game Maker instead of C# and XNA as I did last time. I think I’ll keep it simple, I don’t want to engage in any any all-night programming fests. You see, I don’t even have a desk, so I have to hunch over my laptop which hurts my back. I’ll still make something fun though.

I’m glad to be back in the game-programming spirit. Everyone, do your best, and I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

If an XNA program crashes, it’s probably because you need to install the latest XNA and DirectX redistributable. These are not installed automatically. My game even crashed on an up-to-date install of Vista until I manually installed the latest DirectX.

I have updated my binary to include the DirectX and XNA redistributables.

BTW: To restart a level (if you mess up), stop the ball with the spacebar key, then click on the screen.

Wow, I’m pooped. XNA was like really weird. Please, enjoy! You might need a decent system to run this. It uses version 2.0 vertex and pixel shaders. Meow =^.^=

Download Source 22.7MB

EDIT: You need the latest DirectX and XNA redistributable installed, even on Vista, or else it will crash!  You can get DirectX here and XNA here.

No major crap-ups, etc… After using XNA though, I have to say, I’m not all that impressed. It’s just managed DirectX with support for loading objects (which makes it very useful, mind you). I think I’ll stick with OpenGL. -_-

It’s a pretty awesome quad though.

Well here’s mine with my trusty beast.
