Pretty cool,

now if only I had a zune, o well.

THANK YOU!! I finally have a zune game to test out. I’m so glad you uploaded it. I saw your game on some video’s and wanted to try it out. Do you know of any others?

hey soccerfreak,i think i know you from somewhere….who knows.and thank you!im going to try this for sure

Hey thanks, I got it working on my zune 80, sweet!!

I have no clue about C# but this makes me want to learn it, maybe we can do a calibration some time, me graphics you code. keep up the good work

I have to agree with Soccerfreak24 and wetworker, this is pretty good for the early stages of Games for Zune.

Keep Going!

I see a lot of zuneboards members here.

The exact game can also be found here. http://focusedgames.com/

Actually jackluo923, that’s not the same game. They are both Space Invaders clones, but we each made them separately. Mine also plays in landscape mode while John’s plays in portrait. Definitely also check his stuff out as well, but I don’t want people thinking that either of us just copied the other.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re a freak for getting this ported so fast

dude! I love my Zune even more now. I been waiting for games since I bought it.

I download it, but whenever I try to locate it on visual, it says that the file has been removed, renamed, or not on the cpu, when i can locate it. i dont know what is wrong.

@Ian: What file?

i downloaded the file and then i choose the .sln file and it automatically opens up C#, but then a message comes up saying “the project file has been moved, renamed, or is no0t on your cpu. but i have not done anything to the .sln file. then it says, these projects will be labled as unavailable in Solution explorer. i’ve downloaded everything correctly and XNA 3 recognizes my zune. but the file won’t work.

never mind, i made a mistake, it works

Fabulous. great game. plays great on my Zune30.

At the risk of sounding ignorant, is there a difference between a Zune vs. Itouch? Are they pretty much the same thing, except we can now program for the Zune as far as XNA goes? I don’t have either, but I am now thinking of getting something….maybe a Zune since I can program for it, any pros and cons to watch out for in the two?

Thanks, and sorry Nick, I hope this doesn’t spark a big debate on your blog…just seems an appropriate place to ask considering the topic.

This is sweet. Have running on both my original Zune 30 as well as on Zune 8

i had the same problem as lan and can’t figure out what went wrong…i downloaded the file and then i choose the .sln file and it automatically opens up C#, but then a message comes up saying “the project file has been moved, renamed, or is no0t on your cpu. but i have not done anything to the .sln file. then it says, these projects will be labled as unavailable in Solution explorer. i’ve downloaded everything correctly and XNA 3 recognizes my zune. but the file won’t work.

Try opening up Visual C# Express 2008 manually (instead of double clicking the .sln file). From there go to File -> Open. Next navigate into the directory and find the .csproj file (should be one level down from the .sln file). See if that works for you.

i am sure it would but when i go to open it i can’t seem to find where it is in my computer

oh found it but no it comes up with multiple errors, mostly saying the same thing like unspecified errors and the project file has been moved, renamed, or is not on your cpu

Did you do anything besides unzip the file and double click the .sln? Did you move or add any files?

no nothing just clicked the link then tried to open it with C#

clicked the link as in the one on this site then downloaded it then tried to open it with c#

And you’re sure you have everything set up properly? You installed Visual C# Express 2008 (not 2005) and then install the XNA GS 3.0 CTP? In that order?

yes positive

Can you copy and paste the error or type it in exactly as it appears? I want to know exactly what files it’s saying are missing or moved.

Error 1 The project file ‘C:\Documents and Settings\Friendly\Local Settings\Temp\Rar$DI01.691\Content\Content.contentproj’ has been moved, renamed, or is not on your computer. The project will be labeled as “unavailable” in Solution Explorer. 0 0

This is the same error that keeps coming up when i open .csproj file

Try unzipping it somewhere else. I’m wondering if that $ might be messing it up. Try just unzipping on your desktop and see if that helps.

ok it comes up with out an error now…so now that i have this how would i go about putting this on my zune 80?

Here’s a full walkthrough: http://nick.gravelyn.com/2008/05/10/putting-games-on-your-zune/.

thanks for all the help it is much appreciated

another issue the build buttons wont let you click them…why is this?

nevermind got it

well ok back, so when i open c# its not showing that my zune is connected to it which means i can’t deploy…on my zune it says the xna game studio connect, waiting for computer but its not allowing me to deploy the games to the zune

Did you follow the instructions and add your Zune to the device center?

ya and it says its waiting for the computer and it was set as default but its not coming up in the drop down menu at the left by the monitor with the X on it

ok got that now there is three warnings coming up…whats with that

Well, what do the warnings say?

my comp wont let me download it or any other game

my comp wont let me download it
