My first Xbox game

I wrote my first Xbox 360 game today! I had been working on a simple 2D game this fall, but took a break during the holidays. I forgot everything I had learned about C#, or so I thought. Gary gave me a one hour crash course reviewing what I had studied, and most of it came back. This evening he helped me load it onto the Xbox so we can see it on the tv in the den.

Saying that it's a simple game would be an overstatement. It consists of a flower that you can move around the screen using the joystick, and when you press the A button it changes color. That's it. But I'm proud of it, and I have plans for a more complicated application that Elliot can play with.

Sounds challenging. I hope he's up to it. I wouldn't be, but then, I'm female.
