<p>I&#8217;m currently setting up our second code jam at work.</p>
<p>I have proposed we write Wario style micro-games based on XNA.</p>
<p>The &#8220;logo&#8221; is a mash-up of stuff I found on the web (must add a reference, apologies to the author of the image and the font &#8211; will quote you once I have re-traced my steps).</p>
<p>(update, the image came from <a href="http://www.vooks.net/wallpapers/WarioWareSmoothMoves_Wallpaper_1280.jpg" rel="lightbox[33]">here</a>)</p>
<p>Its been quite a learning curve for me &#8211; C# and XNA. Unlike our previous CodeJam (XML and transformations), this required me writing a framework to host the micro-games. Most of this work has been out of hours so I have neglected Moo <img src='http://mangled.me/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The &#8220;jam&#8221; is scheduled for this Friday. Will update this entry with more information after its conclusion (possibly with a download of the result!). Should be interesting, I purposefully choose a subject which would cause social interaction and fun, also there is a possibility people will collaborate across teams to share code.</p>
<p>My only worry is that the subject is more about social collaboration and enjoyment than technical know-how, this might be an issue &#8211; Time will tell&#8230;</p>
<p>Here are some images &#8211; Not all for copyright reasons &#8211; I&#8217;m sure we will infringe some if I put the pictures up!</p>
