I'm helping with a sample entry in the local SA Developer & Microsoft competition Boring Games are Dead! (http://boringgamesaredead.wordpress.com/) and I'd thought I'd post my material here as well.

Personally, I'm not excited by the prize of a ticket to Tech Ed but I wholeheartedly support anyone doing game dev so I'm sharing my entries code to help and encourage others to start.

I ripped a lot of the game components from Metal Dogs. I'm not going to create a seperate library just yet but it's tempting because any fixes I do in one project must help the other. I need a cool name for my library though...

actually yea, the competition would be more like something to add on a cv type effort rather than a grand prize. its still a cool concept though. The paperplane feels smooth and interesting, but obviously theres more to be done. Stuff like speed variance, at the moment its a bit slow. I dig the mechanic, though.

nice idea
