This tutorial walks you through three different solutions for managing screen state in your game. From the basic of the basic to a final intermediate level sample. You're sure to pick up other neat litlee XNA game development tips along the way as well. This tutorial is a doozy! Scrolling a 2D background XNA 3. You have been Selected! XNA 4. Not so Healthy The State of Things? This article introduces you to the XNA Framework that makes game development easier than it ever was before.
This sample features a star trek ship which you can move around the screen and shoot at the enemy Klingon Ship. The demo comes complete with authentic sound. Although I couldn't name all the episodes, I think I watched every original Star Trek episode that was produced. My fascination with Star Trek didn't end with the original, but continued into the Next Generation. After that, I kinda lost track I became intrigued and decided to pursue exploring the XNA Framework.
In doing so, I created this simple example. Most of the inspiration for this article didn't come from the MSDN article, but from a game called elves revenge on a website called Errolian. By examining this code, I was able to piece together this demonstration of XNA.
XBox is NET developer, your development experience is almost exactly the same, minus a few cool features. If you want to start with some functionality in your project, you can choose SpaceWar Windows Starter Kit.
This class inherits from Microsoft. Game, which is essentially the Game Engine that hides some of the messy stuff involved in game development under the hood. In fact, for most of the game development, the only two methods you need to override in this class are the Update method and the Draw Method.
The Update method is called every time the game needs to update its game data. And the Draw method These two classes are the heart of the game design, and allow us to move shapes around the screen.
In essence all game components including the ship, the enemy, the weapon, and even the background are all sprites. The EnemyExplosion class inherits from SpriteAnimation. This class plays a frame of the animation after each new game screen update. The images in this game are of type Texture2D. If you want to make a 3D game, you would use Texture3D. Images can be conveniently loaded in an override of the LoadGraphicsContent method of the Game class provided for you in the template. Also provided for you is a ContentManager object in which you can use to load your content.
You may also want to create an object called a SpriteBatch, that allows you to later draw your sprites as a batch. The following call allows us to load our graphic file into our sprite:. FNA is primarily developed by video game porter Ethan Lee , who has shipped more than four dozen ports of XNA games using the exact branch that you see on GitHub today! You can see some examples of Steam games using FNA on the left side of this page, if your browser window is large enough.
If you are new to the archive and want to get started with the sample here. Check out the Getting Started page on the wiki This will tell you what you need to know to open the XNA projects that haven't been converted yet in this archive.
The archive is now complete and all but two samples can be found here, next step MonoGaming the samples where applicable. I've downloaded and will source a difference host for the sample files. If you have comments or suggestions for the archive, please let me know on twitter SimonDarksideJ or on this site.
All the samples are available in both source and include a downloadable zip for the project. Over time a lot of these samples will be upgraded to MonoGame, or even included in the MonoGame.
Samples collection. Only one set of articles here at the moment, but this should be mandatory reading if you deal with XML! Ziggyware was a massive tutorial site back in the day and the place developers went to go to get their daily feed of interesting stuff.
Riemers was considered the premier tutorial site back in the early days of XNA and its author Riemer Grootjans also wrote several books on advanced programming techniques for XNA.
