I got so into making these videos, so here’s another one for the first level of Space world. These solutions are designed to help players along when stuck on a particular level, they don’t give a “perfect” solution ranking in the game, but will allow an unlock to happen provided the solution is for a puzzle that gives an unlock in the first place

Easy loading bar for XNA
Mar 26
Here’s the loading-bar system that I wrote for Pegzo (also used now in Retrofit:Overload, although that loads so fast it doesn’t really need it).
Loading bars seem to be rare in community games and I think the approach I took is simpler than is often advised. This system is single-threaded and revolves around an enumerator function that looks something like this:
thing = content.Load<Thing>("thing"); yield return progress(); levelNames = content.Load<LevelNames>("level-names"); yield return progress(); foreach (string name in levelNames) { levels.Add(content.Load<Level>(levelName)); yield return progress(); } // etc.
You can download the source from here: Download EasyLoadingBar.
We made it onto the Hot Pies list over at IGN. Check out their review-ette here;
…or so a few peeps have said, so, here’s the solution, painstakingly produced by the Pegzo pixie.
Pegzo goes live!

We made it! Pegzo went live on the 4th. It was fun, tiring, and very rewarding.
