ZNA - ZuneStar

runewake2 · 10-28-2011, 09:57 PM

ZuneStar is a simple app designed with ZNA.

If is extremely simple and will be extended as I continue to make ZNA greater.

You can download it from the ZNA Google Code site.

As the engine continues to develop I plan to release additional versions of this and other apps.

Note: This is a "hot" build. It is a playable, but rough version that was pulled directly from the ZNA engine tests I was doing. As such, it is not a fully polished app, simply a test build.

Wow, I'm still curious as to what ZNA actually is.

runewake2 · 10-28-2011, 10:23 PM

ZNA is an extension of XNA.

It is able to handle a lot of stuff for you without you needing to. Specifically, Collision's, References, Motion etc. It's designed to make making apps for the Zune with XNA easier.

More info about ZNA can be found here: http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/sho...039#post608039 or on the google code page http://code.google.com/p/zna-hd/.

Sweet, I'll download this when I'm home.

What does it do though?

runewake2 · 10-29-2011, 04:07 PM

It has four squares. Tapping them gives a point and creates a new one on the same column. That is all. It would be fairly simple to create one that was a bit more dynamic and fun. Some simple loading and you would have yourself a guitar hero-ish game.

Awesome!

Pretty neat little app. Is this going to be the starting point for zunehero?

That'd be like, the fifth start to a "Zune Hero" game.

I have no current plans of making this into a full fledged zune hero game. It is just a sample.

after actually trying this i notied there was often a slight delay in the touch, and that the multi touch only works if you touch at the exact same time

runewake2 · 10-30-2011, 08:49 PM

It should not work with multi-touch. It takes your first finger and saves it. That is coming though. The delay should not be happening... I haven't noticed it. If this persists, let me know.
