Want to increase visibility, collaboration, and communication in your development process? Striving to ensure higher quality products with rapid feedback cycles? Don’t know where to start?

Our goal is to show you how we use simple tools and practices to work in an agile way – without any fluff. We will cover how we manage our task board and source code; simple continuous integration; unit testing with mocks; design patterns for clean separation of concerns and testability. All in one hour. ‘Cause that’s how we roll.

You can check out all the details on the CodeStock session page.

We are pleased to announce cyragon games latest project, Tank Combat HD! Tank Combat HD is being developed exclusively for the XBOX 360. We will be announcing a release date in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

Tank Combat HD is a classic fast paced combat game pitting tank against tank. Be prepared to bring your wits and lighting fast reflexes as you battle up to four other tanks in four game modes.

Single Player will allow you to have up to 3 AI opponents in any game mode. Come ready for the challenge as they won’t take it easy on you.

Multiplayer

• Local: play with up to 4 controllers for intense tank action!
• XBOX Live: ready to take your Tank Combat skills to the world? Join friends and gamers on XBOX Live for the ultimate Tank Combat experience! When playing on Live, you can select which team you want to be on for co-op game play (requires more than 2 players).

Available game modes

• Melee: first tank/team to reach 25 points.
• King of the Hill: only the tank/team controlling the “hill” receives any points. Points are awarded based on the amount of time spent on the “hill”.
• Tag: one tank is “It” and all other tanks are on the opposing team trying to tag “It”. When a player tags “It”, they become “It”.
• Stealth Mode: tanks are only visible when their missile is visible.
