StickMen is a 2D shooter which core was developed in 2 days by me and my friend. While developing it we have had spent those days together in one room (2 PCs of course). The idea of this game was to shoot each other through Local Network on our PCs. Both I and my friend are stricte programmers so graphics are rather poor.

Development experience

Game was written with C# programming language and C# SDL library which is a extended port of C/C++ SDL. Some simple math techniques have been used, for example collision is based on (math) line crossing. During later development my new network library for games was made.
