Week 8 - Weekly Assessment
Game Maker (Breaker) to XNA
We made a critical decision last week.
After weighing the pros and cons of the Game Maker and XNA engines, we've decided to switch to XNA. We felt that GM was too restricting and we were having difficulty working with the scripts, especially when we wanted to do more with our code.
We know that this will be a very big challenge for us. Even though Darrell and I faired pretty good on our third and second attempts, respectively, at CMPT 125 - Java, we are quite aware of the difficulty ahead of us. Fortunately the instructors and TA are better suited to helping us with XNA than with GM. Also, finding resources on XNA is much easier.
So for the past week, I've scrapped the GM Alpha our Food Fight and I'm currently in the process of re-familiarizing myself XNA.
Hopefully for the coming week an alpha can be produced.
