Botshot was the first full game that I ever made. It was developed on Microsoft's XNA framework in C#.

This top-down arcade-style shooter puts you in the place of a rogue repair drone who has found something of a soul. Unfortunately the system they are part of has protocols in-place for such an error, so now they're on a mission to survive the onslaught of surveillance bots, security drones, and other repair drones!

Use [W][A][S][D] to move and the mouse to aim/shoot. Cycle through weapons using the mouse wheel or [1][2][3]. There is also Gamepad support!

Please feel free to download and play!

SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) is a cross-platform C-language framework started by Sam Lantinga that provides access to window handling and management, event polling, basic 2d graphics, and audio. It is a beautiful framework that works, works well, and follows sensible naming conventions.

My own wrapper of the library translates the C-bindings into C++ namespaces and classes so that it melds better with other C++ code. It also adds plenty of convenience features not available in the original C library such as operator overloading, content management, input management (without polling), and more overloads of common functions for various uses.

My primary goal in wrapping the SDL library is to create a template and coding style that is easy for new programmers to approach, similar to Microsoft's now unsupported XNA, while keeping as much of the power of SDL as possible.
