wouldn't this be the first game on xbmc ever?
this project seems like a lot of work.
hope you get it finished.
:thumbsup:

donno,
while i can appreciate the serious work that goes into building this i wonder if your talents could have been leveraged to build something new for xbmc itself... like a tv show episodes script, or another big ticket item for the community?
someone with your talents could put a serious dent in the "gaps" in xbmc.
just a thought.
- sollie - 2006-05-20
i think this is the one i was looking for. thanks for that. my 2.0 is finished.
sollie.
ps: i think this is serious.
- thor918 - 2006-05-20
sollie:
your 2.0 what?
- sollie - 2006-05-20
never mind.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: great the best arcade game ever :kickass:
- Asteron - 2006-05-24
first game script? at this rate i might need to finish up my tetris script (has been sitting unfinished for months).
- [email protected] - 2006-05-24
sudoku for xbmc is already out, ive just started bejewled, well a clone of. its going well, would be cool to have a python arcade lol
- donno - 2006-05-27
well sudoku ain't really interactive, looking forward to seeing your bejewled. as well as tetris by asteron. one thing about games scripts are they won't break due to changed websites.
hopefully these projects will start more like snake/worm, pong (multiplayer would be nice), tron.
only problem thou is python can't tell the diff between controller 1 and controller 2. (might need to look into that :d)
yeh actually i saw sudoku but really not much of a 'game' compared to this as its mainly just the timer, (there are no moving parts like things flying across the screen :d.
now for space invader update:
today i started coding out the invaders bullets stuff. this is the last thing that needs to be done, once its that works full, i can just tweak out the gui/menu/ speeds, add final little touches and that’s it. (so i give it four weeks max ( most likely will be busy in the next few weeks).

how are you doing your online scores ive done a php script to submit and grab scores from a sql database.
- donno - 2006-06-24
@[email protected]: yeh i coded a php page that just reads and writes to a file. (has a few little bugs in it)
- slang123 - 2006-06-24
hey, its looking awesome. just one question, will it work with mc360? i know your a big part in developing mc360 so it might be a silly question, but in all of the sceenshots/trailer i've only seen it on pm3. i guess it might be a late on in your todo list, would love to know ether way
- donno - 2006-06-30
well i decided i won't skin the interface for mc360, it will just use the project mayhem iii graphics.
