Hi All,

This is my new project, I wanted to create a 2 player game with a chat client built in, I remembered an old game from my childhood (yep way before computers took over) there was a great 'board' game called 'Downfall' by MB. the challenge of programming that grabbed me and so I began.

I have fully written the gui, and its looking good, its a bit strange to play and the networking isnt in place yet so you cant actually complete anything.

This game also features an MP3 player which scans your music folder for tracks, you can select which track is playing by pressing and holding the left trigger to bring up a control panel. then use the cursors to control it.

let me know what you think, I am considering dropping the project as the bit I wanted to write is now written and I dont have another PSP for testing networking but if there is enough interest I will complete it.

control the 'cogs' by moveing the curosr over them with the analogue stick and pressing 'Cross' to turn anti-clockwise and pressing 'Circle' to turn clockwise.

move the pointer over the right side of the scren to active the chat window and then use the dpad to control the onscreen keyboard.

If someone else would like to finish the project instead I'm quite happy to release the source.

cheers
Jamie
