  1. Developing Game-Themed Applications With XNA Game Studio

  2. First: your background … • “Console” specific? • Keyboard and Text I/O • Programming Language? • C#, C++, Java? • “Graphics” person? • Graphics API: OpenGL, Java3D, Direct3D? • User interactive programs? • GUI API: GLUT, FLTK, Swing, WinForm, etc.

  3. What are you looking for? • Curious? • Sounds interesting, what’s up? • Evaluate potential for work use? • Heard about this, can I use it at work/class? • What do you do? • Self-interest • Can I develop some cool stuff when I have nothing to do at home? • Nothing else to do • seems like a good place to waste a Saturday?

  4. This Tutorial is about … • Up and running with XNA • Developing simple 2D Applications with XNA • If Graphics/GUI background • Humor me, and tell me what you think • If no Graphics/GUI background • Review MVC framework and • Start programming “pseudo games” in hours • Main goal: Game-themed application with XNA is EASY! • Today: • Get some 2D apps going, see a 3D example • Develop a blockbreaker game

  5. API Runtime support: • Drawing • Input from controller • Audio • Storage support, etc. Hardware (Emulator/Simulator … ) Game Console development: a simple view … Magic: Developer kit (Proprietary & $$$) Source Code Gaming console API Game • API Runtime support: • Drawing • Input from controller • Audio • Storage support, etc. Gaming Console Hardware (XBOX 360, Wii, PS-#)
