Well this time around I actually found the time to join the XNA7Day challenge. Since the challenge was to make a game that only renders text, I went with the first thing that came in mind when dealing with ASCII only output – a roguelike game. There was a few things that I would have liked to have included – but this week and weekend ended up being pretty busy, if nothing else I at least finished the task, not 100% sure how balanced it is (some games i plow through everyone, some games i get destroyed right away) but it was a fun little challenge at least.
Granted if this was a competition rather than a friendly challenge – I would probably be blown out of the water – one of the other participants threw up some screenshots of their game in progress an ASCII FPS – which makes my silly roguelike look like childs play.
In any event looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with, and hope I have time and ideas to enter future challenges.
I picked up a few games recently, and upgraded to Windows 7 which so far I have been pretty pleased. I might be an easy sell though, I am one of the few that didn’t really hate or complain about vista. Speaking of games though Modern Warfare 2 is calling my name – I know everyone has been playing it nonstop and has all ready hit level 5 billion or whatever, but I just picked it up earlier today…so the adventure begins.
