This is a test page to demonstrate the possiblility of using "wiki power" to creating and writing
community based programming projects. This page is still a work in progress and the idea is
still evolving! A prerelease of the WikiCompiler app is now availible, and demontrates that the idea is possible!

[edit] Project Blockanoidz

[edit] Project Information

Whoa - yep I am definatly going to have to add in multi page project support for the WikiCompiler right away. This page is huge!

You will need to download the BlockanoidzGameFiles.zip game data file to run the game.
BlockanoidzGameFiles.zip 139Kb
BlockanoidzGameFiles.zip 139Kb - Mirror 1

You will need to download the BlockanoidzReferences.zip game references and place them in your library path in order for the game to compile.
BlockanoidzReferences.zip 1Mb

[edit] How to Compile

  • 1: Create a folder called "Blockanoidz". (You can name the folder whatever you want)
  • 2: Download these two files and extract them into the "Blockanoidz" folder you created.
  • 3: Download and run the WikiCompiler Release 3 applcation. WikiCompiler
  • 4: Specify "http://gpwiki.org/index.php/VBNET:Blockanoidz" for the source URL
  • 5: Click the "Options" tab and set the destination folder to the "Blockanoidz" you created.
  • 6: Click the "Assembly Folders" tab and add the "Blockanoidz" you created.
  • 7: Click the compile button to compile the Blockanoidz game.
  • 8: A new sub folder will be created within the "Blockanoidz" folder you created called "Blockanoidz".
  • 9: Now copy the Blockanoidz.exe file within that newly created folder and copy it to the original "Blockanoidz" folder you created.
  • 10: To run the game just drag and drop the Game.txt file onto the Blockanoidz.exe app top play that game map. (Game play mechanics have not been implemented yet)
