Gus Perez on C#, .NET Development and Software Testing
Space Invaders - Another clone of the classic game

A .NET version of the classic game.  It's all written in C# and uses GDI+ (not DirectX) for graphics.  If I do any more work on this it'll probably be to port it to DirectX and add a few of the remaining features needed to do everything the original did (e.g. aliens move down, shields, etc.).  Feel free to do as you wish with the source and if you have any feedback on how to do things in a better way, definitely send them my way.

Very smooth graphics and controls.

But the aliens really need to move down and go faster :-)

Good work, Gus.

I'll definitely be looking through *that* code!
Do you have anymore C#,GDI+ ports lying around?

Thanks guys.

Simon, I'm sure I have some more code I can find. I've got a couple versions of Pacman, surround (nibbles, snakes), and some others I'm sure. They're all much older though, back from the early 7.0 days so I'm not sure what shape the code is in. But as I get time I'll try to put some more up.

Pacman .NET?

That'll be brilliant.
Now all we need is a port of Leisure Suit Larry ... :-)
