Original Post
Hello everybody!
In the process of learning DirectX 11 with SlimDX I made a small Breakout clone. Because I'm also fairly new to game programming I thought to post it in this very forum here.
I hope some of you like it, and don't find it too hard. It certainly gets a little fast after you reach the last row, but it should be beatable.
Currently it only features one level, three powerups, and useless gimmicks like small particles and floaty texts, a message of the day, and that's about it. If anybody is interested, I could also post the source in here, but keep in mind it was only a project to learn things, and the code might not be the cleanest you'll ever see. Anyways, here is a screenshot, and a link to the game.
The requirements are: A Windows Vista/7 PC. It also requires DirectX11 and the .NET Framework 3.5 to be installed, which should already be on your machine if you're using Windows 7. This game uses SlimDX, if you have any trouble starting it, try downloading and installing the SlimDX runtime here:
