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. The game will be for 1-2 players at first and maybe for up to 4 in the end.

-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. It works just fine on the Xbox 360, though.

-===== Conclusion ===== 
- 
-Matti: 
- 
-The Codecamp was a fun experience to take part in and I will look forward to attending these events again. The XNA Framework made it very fast to get into the game making instead of focusing on how to handle time in the game, how to create a game window and graphics etc. 
- 
-Planning proved out to be a very important part even in a two person project. Adding features took a lot of time when we had to rewrite half the code for it. IntelliSense in the Visual Studio smoothened the C# learning curve a lot and made it unnecessary to have a guide book opened all the time. 
- 
-Without any prior C#, .NET or XNA experience I am pleased with the way that our game turned out. This was also the first time I did a program with any graphics in it other than ASCII characters. ;) I definitely learned a lot and this might inspire me to start on a project of my own.
