ScrapMetalRacer Single Player Only

On 02/19/2010, in c#, university, xna, by bechte

Back again with a single player version of our ScrapMetalRacer Game. As announced in the previous post about ScrapMetalRacer we finally compiled a version of the Game where we removed all network components. This version will not connect to other clients but you will not need to install the XNA Framework, which should be more likely for the most of you.

Besides this, the game has no limitations, so you will have all the joy and fun with this version, too.

ScrapMetalRacer

On 02/03/2010, in c#, university, xna, by bechte

After a long time of not posting anything, I am proud to announce that our ScrapMetalRacer project has finally come to an end.

We are currently testing the release and if you want to help us testing, feel free to download and install the first version of the racer. There are still some limitations that we are about to fix in the meantime, e.g. the screen resolution cannot be changed from 1024×768.

As my developing tasks on XNA with C# took me on the next level I came in contact with Windows Live!. As a developer you need a XNA Creators Club Membership to test your games or use local profiles.
