Sune Rievers blog

I’ve just finished a tutorial from www.riemers.net. The tutorial was about learning 2D programming in XNA, by creating a (very simplified) clone of Scorched Earth (a long time favorite of mine from a distant time ).

I’ve added a few features, namely:

• Menu screen with number of players selection
• Restart game by pressing escape
• Xbox360 version
• Vibration in Xbox360 mode
• Optimized collision detection by checking X-values of objects before creating matrices
• Original Scorch death/win messages
• Computer players with multiple types of AI
• Numerous small tweaks, including kill count, stats and support for multiple rockets
