Mopi Ranger Remake Done
In Windows XP SP2 those things are installed standard.
I have made this game to learn myself Managed DirectX.
I am trying to make new graphics for the game.
Just look at the PNG files, the graphics can be made very nice.
Just like the music.
In the next, and I thing final version, I have made some new things like a menu and support for other "skins". Where a "skin" is total new graphics and music.
I know the things that has to be installed is now overkill, but over 6 months everybody has those things installed on their PC.
DirectX is going to be replaced by Managed DirectX.
With the Remake I have used the latest possiblities but not everybody has installed it.
So I am going to release Version 0.2. No new things will be done after that, only bug-fixing.
I am going to add some screenshot for you guys 
It's not just the .net stuff.. it's the whole idea that you require all that for MOPI RANGER! Even if you want to do a nice souped-up version, it should run on a lousy 486 already. It all feels a bit like: "Hey, let's use this Cray 2 to play Pong"
Henk, good job, but the reason I haven't tested it myself is because of all the things wolf_ and ro and Cosmic_Gate already stated: it's too much of a hassle to install this .net crap. Sure, it would be included in WXPSP2, but since I value the free space on my C:\ drive so much, I don't really care about a .NET framework.
On the other hand, I've installed a PHP-enabled webserver to teach myself PHP (and HTML, 
), I managed to do so and now I'm happy. The only advantage of PHP over .NET is that PHP can be done 'remote' (find some webspace which allows you to use PHP and you're done) and .NET stuff has to be installed on the local computer. Which I dislike.
Anyway, great job (again 
), but if I'm going to play that game, it should at first be .NET-free
I don't doubt the game's functionality or joy to play, however, I find four downloads and installs just too much. And I'm not the only one with that, I think
Okay, okay, I'm a lazy bum Is that what you wanted to hear? 
I think Henk made it quite clear he made this game in the first place to learn C# and Managed DirectX. The fact that people who install a similar environment can play his game is a side-effect.
So stop complaining already
