Thanks, I was trying to go for a brown-haired, 2D version of Link from Ocarina of Time

Hey guys the first demo of my game, Prospectus, is up on my website to download FOR FREE. Head over and check it out! I also have an email set up for any feedback, comments, or bugs you find.

Thanks for checking it out!

It's actually really easy to make it for both, you basically have to have different code for the input, display (only minor differences), and data storage stuff. Those are the big differences (which aren't that big), I'm sure there some others as well. The XNA framework itself is designed to run on ...

So i see the terraria side of it, what about the Zelda? I'm curious, I've found your blog interesting (yes i voted) At this point it's pretty much a straight Terraria clone. The Zelda part will come later. I plan on having dungeons w/bosses, different levels (instead of biomes), and more of a quest...

Hey guys I have a poll going on here to help me decide what to name my game. Please check it out and vote to help me decide! Thanks.

Hey thanks guys, I'm definitely gonna work hard to see this one through to the end. I'm really excited about the possibilities for this game. Oh and I do update my blog pretty regularly these days (thanks to this game), so feel free to check back every so often for more updates. Thanks again for che...

Hey guys, I've been hanging around this site for a few months now and I think I should tell you guys about a project that I'm working on. I'm using Xna Game Studio to make a game similar to Terraria and Zelda. I'm keeping up a blog about it http://jefflamoureux.blogspot.com Come check it out and let...

Awesome that works perfectly now! thanks a lot for the help. I thought it might be something like that because I know the logic should work but I don't know that much of the guts of SDL yet.

He just asked for advice/critiques on his code. He didn't say anything anywhere about something not working or not compiling, guys. Thanks Gyro. I probably didn't explain it well enough in the OP but my problem is that I am trying to detect a single key press as opposed to a key being held down. Th...

Because they are within the InputHandler class's scope.

Well that was the way I tried it at first, but I kept getting two LNK2001 errors: 1>InputHandler.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "private: static unsigned char * InputHandler::lastKeyState" (?lastKeyState@InputHandler@@0PAEA) 1>InputHandler.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved e...

Ok so I'm implementing an input handler class to make checking for input easier in my game and I cannot seem to get the code correct to check for a key press as opposed to a key simply being held down. I'm using a class with static methods and two static variables, currentKeyState and lastKeyState. ...

Very nice SHMUP. I like that all of the art was done in Paint, although I myself prefer Paint.Net

I think powerups should be one of the first things you add.

You're afraid of the amount of radiation that that many electronic components creates? You should be scared to go outside, because I'd bet my life you get more harmful radiation from the sun than from electronics. ;) Well said Ginto8. It reminds of that myth that used to go around about people gett...

Now to continue with the separation of the code. I believe I'm going to end up with a handful of classes: Game, Entity -> Player/Pill, InputHandler, Timer are the main ones that I have thought about implementing. I can't think of any more at the moment.
