As you may have heard me http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Pirates-Love-Daisies say before , I love Tower Defense games. In fact, Ive always wanted to build one or two but the main problem is that Im better with ideas than programming. On the other hand, TD games are all very similar—creeps go in, creeps (try to) go out. Meanwhile you try your best to build a maze of defensive towers that make sure no creep is left standing. The biggest difference between many TD games is graphics and gameplay. From this the ScriptTD Tower Defense Game Engine was born. Under the patient shepherding of Coding4Funs Clint Rutkas and with the coding prowess of Michael Quandt, we built this game engine that will let you tweak some graphics, sounds, and XML to make any kind of Tower Defense game you can dream up. If you thought you couldnt make a Windows Phone game, youre probably wrong. This tutorial will walk you through each of the XML files that make up ScriptTD and how they should be tweaked to create your own TD game. You are free to submit your game to the Zune Marketplace and hopefully make a little lunch money. If you make a game from ScriptTD, please let me know so I can help get the word out. To get started with ScriptTD, please check out the http://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/articles/ScriptTD-Tower-Defense-Made-Easy ScriptTD Coding4Fun project and download the code from http://scripttd.codeplex.com/ Codeplex , and to try playing the game on your Windows Phone, visit the zune://navigate/?appID=ee836335-27a7-e011-986b-78e7d1fa76f8 Zune Marketplace . <img src="http://m.webtrends.com/dcs1wotjh10000w0irc493s0e_6x1g/njs.gif?dcssip=channel9.msdn.com&dcsuri=http://channel9.msdn.com/Feeds/RSS&WT.dl=0&WT.entryid=Entry:RSSView:29eb1e7d36fb47c599dc9f2d004166d6
