Summary

This chapter has looked at ways to add some polish to the basic Flood Control game that was presented in Chapter 2, Flood Control – Underwater Puzzling. We have looked at the following:

• Creating classes that inherit from existing classes to extend their functionality

• Using the advanced overloads of the SpriteBatch.Draw() method to add basic animations to the Flood Control game

• Adding SpriteFonts to the project, and using them to draw text to the screen

• Expanding the basic Game State system used in Chapter 2, Flood Control – Underwater Puzzling, to allow for a complete Title | Playing | Game Over cycle

• Adding increasing levels of difficulty as the player progresses through the game
