    A Guitar Puzzle Game

    I thought I'd share a little bit of a game that I'm developing.  I've taken an old puzzle game "Lose Your Marbles" by Segasoft and recreated it using XNA.  Now the problem with the old game now is the fact that it doesn't run on XP or Vista hence why I decided to write my own version using XNA.  But I decided to add my own unique twist.  Since XNA games on the PC can be controlled with Xbox controllers, I decided to design my version of this game around the Xbox Guitar controller.  The fret buttons activate the individual columns while the strum bar moves them up or down.  After playing it for a little bit, it actually does feel natural.  You can still play it with the regular Xbox controller, but it's not as easy.  There's also keyboard controls if you like.

    The game core is practically done.  I'm just working on sound, graphics, improving the AI, and a couple other bells and whistles.  At this point, I'm not going to be publically sharing the game since I still have a lot of copyrighted graphics in the game that I've been using for filler.  Graphics isn't my forte.  So once I replace that stuff, I can share the actual game.
