Hello there. I just created a game (non-ags and non-adventure) using C# and DirectX.
This was actually to test the engine that me & my brother created and help me learn to code in DirectX/C#.

you can download the game from: www.simnet.is/elinnils52
What is the main plot?
Shoot asteroids in space...

I could make an Adventure game using the this engine. Since it uses DirectX the game is fast and supports 1024x768 and lots of stuff.

When my engine is finally up and ready (needs some tweaks etc. fix sound, support mp3, support video and so on) I will start making a simple adventure game (maybe one-room game) for testing purpose.

Please let me know what you think and thank you for your interest


EDIT:
the buttons are:
arrow keys to move the ship
X = shoot
Z = Go hyper speed (destroys everything you touch)


EDIT2:
some pictures:

NOTE: all pictures are 1024x768 in size
Choosing on the map (901 kb)
Shooting stars in game (518 kb)
Multiply backgrounds (1094 kb)
Lets see the score (873 kb)

Hi guys

i just got bored and started working on a space game

i would like to know how you like it and how i can fix it

EDIT:

Here is version 2:

But still the lines dont want to come clear please, i need ssome help on this

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English
will be the official language of the European Union rather than German,
which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her
Majesty's government conceded that English spelling had some room for
improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become
known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will
make sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in
favour of "k".

This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like
fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted
to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have
always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the
horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should
go away.

By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th"
with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining
"ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl. Zer
vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu
understand ech oza.

Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. If zis mad you smil, pleas
pas on to oza pepl.

Zen ve vil rul ze world!!!

*when it says: press any key to throw the dice DON't push 0 because then it will skip the hold part and you will end up in next 'press any key to throw'
