2D Side Scroller

Okay well it appears I have to create a 2D Side Scroller game using XNA 2.0 :). For next Thursday I have to have come up with a back story for the game (about two paragraphs or so to share with the group) so it should be fun. Won't start this for a while as we'll actually be creating levels in UT2004 first which sounds just as much fun (y).

If anyone has any ideas feel free to share them in a comment, I'd love to hear them, but I'm gonna start coming up with some ideas for the story, characters and actual game content in a few minutes whilst my xbox downloads some updates. Unfortunately I have a few new books I need to read through (Although buying these isn't nescessary thankfully), so it looks like a trip to the library may well be overdue.

In other news I also had my first lecture today (in Writing Software which is a seperate Module to the above) where we talked about using Java and a program called Blue J to create simple Java programs, I'm just hoping any software they encourage us to use works on linux ~ If not I may have to go back to Windows. No one wants that. ;)
