  28. Design Tradeoffs • Less PowerUps • Less Bomb Types • No network play

  29. Things We’d Do Different • Use DarkBasic for graphics ONLY! • DarkBasic NEEDS variable declaration for all variables!!!!!!! • C++ as the backend for all the data

  30. Commercial Games • It takes A LOT to get a game up and running • Need to make good design decisions early on • A LOT goes into planning the game even before coding

  31. Thank You • Questions???????
