I recently delved into game programing and ended up using c++ using the “allegro” library which allows you to do 2d platformers quite easily so you could maybe look into that

Not tried XNA yet maybe i should ;p

Good luck with your project!

I know you didn’t mean offense and I certainly didn’t take it that way. I was trying for mock shock at the thought BB will never be released. (WHich it probably won’t).

Having said that it has reminded me I have a number of drafts that I should post plus an update to the “Never Dying/Jail Help rooms”.

Whilst I may have put a lot of effort into the planning it will be worth almost nothing if I don’t do something with it.

BTW, I’ll add this URL and your homepage to my links later this week.

I’d love nothing more than to see Blaze get released and I didn’t mean to imply that you’re lazy either. Nor do I think that Kieron was implying any journalists were lazy; it was just a bit of jest.

Hell, you’ve put far more effort into the planning stage of Blaze than I’m likely to put into any stage of this project!

I should say that whilst I have admitted it has a very, very small chance of being realized most of the enjoyment comes from planning it.

Hopefully yours will get released. Good Luck.

C# is fairly easy to get your head around these days. You may as well go down the XNA route so as to avoid large amounts of tech writing. You can pretty much just jump straight in.
