Handcricket For PC

The Start Screen

"Odd or eve, da?"
These words signify the start of a promising match of which 'sport'? You guessed it - Handcricket! This is probably the most played game in Indian schools, yet there is still no PC Version. With this in mind, I decided to design the basic program logic for making this game with the intent of helping developers who may wish to make a handcricket game. The result was a Visual Basic program that certainly provides no fun playing, but may help a game developer get ideas.

Here I am sharing the source code as well as the application of the program I created. The source code was written in VB.NET 2005 and may/may not work on earlier or newer versions of Visual Studio. Just see how the program runs, and offer me suggestions on how to improve it (post a comment or send an e-mail to jayanth.rajakumar@gmail.com ).

Handcricket PC gameplay

As V-R and gamepad-less video games are evolving, it may be fun to have a handcricket game on the Wii or PS Move. Imagine the fun just playing the game with your TV in the same way as you might play with your friends! By the way, someone created a handcricket game for android, which is pretty good. have a look at it here. Enjoy!

PS: There seems to be a bug which prevents the process Handcricket PC.exe from closing after the game ends. Please end the process yourself by going to the task manager.
