Sensory Overload

A few days ago I published the Managed OpenGL ES wrapper. As a proof of concept, I went so far as to create a simple game for the HTC Touch Diamond that utilizes the G-Sensor, Nav Sensor, and the 3D hardware capabilities of the device. The end result is a simple "Asteroids" type game I call Sensory Overload.

The game is simple:

• Move the ship by tilting the device.
• Don't run into an asteroid.
• Blow up the asteroids into tiny pieces.
• When an asteroid spawns (it will be faded out), you have 5 seconds to get away from it before it can hurt you.
• Rotate the Nav sensor clockwise to fire a bullet.
• Rotate the Nav sensor counter clockwise to fire a spray of bullets. You can only use this special ability once every 5 seconds.
• Asteroids spawn every 15 seconds.

This is mostly intended as a demo or proof of concept to provide other developers starting ground to create their own amazing games for the HTC Touch Diamond.

Known Bugs:

• Small asteroids are hard to explode. The bullets travel "through" them between repaints, so they never actually collide. I may fix this in the future.
