PPC .NET puzzle game to try

[whiteangle]

If anyone has a moment to take squiz at this little puzzle/action game i have been working on, it would be much appreciated.

There are CABS compiled for ARM SH and MIPs although I haven't tested on anything other than ARM on PPC2002. Scary

I am interested in performance (being a .net app), but really just whether it functions at all. You will need the latest version of the .NET Compact Framework from microsoft on the device.

It is a cut down version of the game with a lot of resources ripped out (bit bulky otherwise) but you should get a feel for it.

There is an installer or individual CABS here:







Cheers!

Yeah, the framework is a real bummer, and the average person going to microsoft to get it could get scared off by all the developer references.

I'm presuming that was for the installer to work.. or did you also need to update the framework on the device? Or does the activesync automatically update the framework...?

Seems I am full of questions..

Glad it worked in the end though

Johan:
I did use the .NET wrapper. I thought initially that I would be able to get away with the standard GDI routines but was defeated, probably by .NET performance - I have tried to optimise the drawing routines as much as I can.

Sound is via the Hekkus .NET wrapper.

The GAPI .NET wrapper is included with the samples on MSDN. There are 3 samples as far as I know that use the wrapper:

Just out of curiosity, why use .net at all? I'm unfamiliar with it, but don't see why it is preferrable to C++...?

No real reason for choosing .NET other than I want to play around with it.
