Zombie Outhouse Development Part 3: Converting from C# to C++

While the official programming language for the iPhone is Objective-C, you can use C/C++ within it.  I prefer to work in C++ and try to avoid Objective-C at all costs.

Zombie Outhouse Development Part 2: Porting to Zune HD

While the plan for Zombie Outhouse was to do an Xbox360 and iPhone version from the beginning, it made sense to make an intermediate Zune HD version which would ease the transition.  It would also allow me to get the game play figured out for the touch screen while still working within the XNA environment.

Cyborg Mice Arena to get Sunburned

Our Xbox Live Indie Game, Cyborg Mice Arena, will get a graphical update in the near future.  There are some current Xbox lighting issues that need to be resolved but in the mean time here is a screen grab from the latest build.  This screenshot highlights the flashlights that are active in the new “dark” mode.

I’ll post an in-depth article on using the Sunburn renderer once the update is complete.
