This is a direct (nearly) line-for-line port of My old Games Contest Submission: Wormipede, located HERE
I basically converted one function at a time, and split the drawing and processing into different functions for readability and to more fit in with the framework's expectation of code placement: Namely the Update function is there for code placement of non-drawing code, and Draw is there for actual sprite/background drawing.
The game could still be considered a work in progress, but it's pretty much fully playable. The only thing that doesn't work is the exit button on screen. However, i have included xbox 360 controller support via x and y, start and exit buttons, and the gamepad.
There have been light adjustments to the way the sprites move, but probably the biggest change is that thanks to rotation, i no longer have a different sprite for each direction.
Issue: Spider graphic is not transparent.
Issue: No code to support exiting by clicking button, but close box works. It didn't work in the original either.
Issue: Heartbeat sound doesn't loop properly. This isn't a code issue. The sound itself is corrupted.
Issue: High scores aren't stored. This is in fact intentional.
Change: Form size is fixed
Change: Xbox 360 controller support
Change: Code clean-up (but it's still a wreck)
Change: XNA instead of DX7
Change: C# instead of vb6
Requirements: XNA Studio 4.0, VC# 2010, Updated DirectX.
I will be doing a complete re-write of this from the ground up soon to take advantage of what i've learned, and use per-pixel placement of items and movement instead of a grid.
If anyone is interested in doing some artwork, i could use some tile graphics. The new version will have 20x20 tiles, and i'm not good enough to make it look good.
