A few years after the Java version, I've decided to port "Time Pilot" (one of my favorite classic arcade game) to the new Microsoft XNA Express studio.... a first step to develop games in this framework. You'll find here a complete version of the game with all the source code. Feel free to download, re-use, and modify the code. Just let me know the game improvements :-)

The project has been updated to support the new XNA Game Studio Express Beta 2
You can now play the game without using XNA studio!

21/11/2006
Xbox 360 Gamepad support added

XNA Framework was used for:
Game loop, Texture and sprites, Sounds (XACT), Game controller

To do:
Implement high score using XNA storage (I think I'll do this part).

Game controls:
Left & Right arrow to rotate, Space bar to fire.

Storyboard:
Rescue time prisonners from 1914 to future times. Kill a sufficient amount of planes to make a jump through time. Once the indicator bar bellow has reached zero, kill the boss and fly to a new year.
