Snowy: The snowman

This game is about rescuing a snowman from melting by reaching him to the fridge. The game is like an old school 2D arcade game that player controls a snowman. The snowman has really effective guns like his hat, scarf, snowballs and he is not afraid to use them!

The game is developed in Visual Studio 2008 using C# language with XNA extended. This game is for PC (also for Xbox with a little change in code thanks to XNA).

Particle systems are used in the game. Every object is a particle or made up with particles. There are some spring like things used as rope and bungee. Gravity, friction, throwing forces are used. Some kimd of bounding box collision detection and resolving is used (althought there are some mistakes).

It was a great experience to use real physics in a computer game. On the other hand we need to modify the physics to make video games better looking for the players.
