Urban Race has been freed

A few months ago I developed Urban Race, a very simple (and quite lame) time attack racing game using XNA. It was a University project so I couldn’t release the source until it was graded but then, I totally forgot about it. Recently, a reader asked me to publish the source and here we are. Please, bare in mind it’s for educational purposes, it was developed in one month without previous knowledge of neither C# or XNA and it’s not intended to be a fully playable product.

I usually document my projects with Doxygen and several articles or tutorials, this time has been different. At least I’ve uploaded a PDF file with the documentation I submitted for my project to be graded. You’ll have to excuse me for lack of further and more accessible documentation but I don’t have much time now and, prior to this moment, I didn’t think this game was worth making public.

Anyways, you can freely access the source, reuse components and re-share. Bare in mind that the code is under GPL v3 and the media is under Creative Commons 3.0 BY-NC so, please, stick to their conditions.

Recent projects and future changes

Lots of stuff has happened since I last posted something here. Crazy Eramus life, you want to do everything: projects, social life, studying… So, logically, the blog has been a little bit left behind. I just wanted to post a quick update about the two university projects I’ve been working on recently:

  • Laterdroid: Read it Later client for Android created using the official SDK.
  • Urban Race: time attack racing game developed using C# and the XNA framework.

For further information please go to each project’s page, you’ll find a more detailed description, screenshots, videos and download links. I was thinking of making both projects open source and upload them to a Google Code repository but I guess that’ll have to wait until they’re graded by the professors.

And now for something completely different…

Huge events have taken place recently, the dream has come true. Unfortunately, I can’t make anything public yet, I’ve only told my family and friends. However, I’ll soon post something on that matter.

As if I didn’t have enough work, I recently started another project which has an early deadline. For the Advanced Games Programming module here at Kingston University we have to develop a game for Windows and Xbox 360 using C# and the XNA framework. The final deadline was in a month counting from the start date and, halfway through the development, we had to show a demo. That’s how Urban Race began just a week ago, in this post I’ll talk about the game and my first impressions on XNA.
