 +Final and compiling version of the source code package, including all textures and sounds. Xbox version can be made by just creating a copy of this.
 +
 +We noticed some users might have trouble with the background song if Windows Media Player has been uninstalled. This seems to be because we use the MediaPlayer class to play the music (just like every other group). NOTE, game won't work without XBox-pad controller.

Fusce suscipit dapibus ligula, a accumsan tortor convallis ac. +Our goal is to make a 2-dimensional space shooter game. Enemies will swarm from all directions at the players. Some examples are the legendary Finnish cave shooter Wings and an inexpensive but very entertaining downloadable game from Xbox Live and Steam called Geometry Wars. 
 + 
 +The game will be for 1-2 players at first and maybe for up to 4 in the end. Camera will be stable, possibly adding scrolling later on. To avoid split screen, zooming would be needed to make sure all the players stay visible.

 +===== Diary ===== 
 + 
 +Monday 
 +  * We started with some basic planning but then were instructed to jump into coding. So that's what we did. We borrowed the first pictures as placeholder graphics that we could find in Google images and got some basic graphics and keyboard controls. 
 +Tuesday 
 +  * Using the Xbox controller turned out to be a quite a challenge compared to the keyboard. We basicly spent the whole day trying to get the controls working and to align the ship's texture in the right angle. 
 +Wednesday 
 +  * Finally we got some breakthroughs and got the controls working. At the same time we got rid of all the keyboard controls so testing the game got pretty hard since the Xbox gamepads couldn't be installed on the school's PCs. Only way to test was by running the game on a laptop.  
 +  * Collision checks with ships, enemies and projectiles all pretty much work now so you can kill enemies and they can 'kill' you (the controls just freeze for now). 
 +Thursday 
 +  * PLAN:  
 +    * Better graphics, menu screen, point counter, updating Wiki with screenshots and video. Xbox conversion might bring some surprises so it should be tested well in advance. 
 +  * REALITY: 
 +    * We added our own textures to the game. And then spent the whole day trying to make the menu work. Thanks for the original source code goes to Team Null Pointer Exception. We rewrote it from like 300 lines of code to 80 lines though... 
 +    * Then we had major problems with the resolution on Xbox. We had used three different classes to determine screen width and height in different situations. When we used just one class our menu screen finally flipped from halfway off the screen to where it should be. Still because of the projector little slices from the sides where cut off. On the PC everything looked just fine the whole time. Finally: Release Candidate 1! 
 +Friday 
 +  * PLAN: No sleeping on the keyboard. Final version and presentation. VERY minor fixes. 
 +  * REALITY: Pretty much according to plan. There was not much else to be done except the presentation slides.
