Last night I saw a tweet from @nickgravelyn saying :-
XNA 4.0 – Tutorial 6 – Spritesheet object
Using a variable per image is fine when you're looking at the XNA samples, but what happens when you're working on a project with 100+ images? One of my projects has over 3 thousand sprites & textures that's a whole lot of variables to keep track of, so I need something that'll make the job as easy as possible.
XNA 4.0 – Tutorial 5 – Manual Blank Texture
Originally posted 2010 - I wanted a way to get around having to include a 5x5 white texture to my content pipeline, and seeing as I use them in every project I start, I looked around and found this code snippet.
XNA 4.0 – Tutorial 4 – SpriteBatch Extended
Originally Posted 2010 - A class that inherits from SpriteBatch that will add a method of writing out strings of text with Xbox controller buttons embedded into the text.
I originally got this code from George Clingerman and his post titled "It's a Control Thing (XNA 3.0 BETA)". I had to hack it about and now it's a SpriteBach Extender, So check it out.
XNA 4.0 – Tutorial 3 – Input from Keyboard.
Originally posted 2009 - Drawing a single sprite on screen with a variable position, and then moving it with the power of your mind, fingers and keyboard. I've updated things to reflect using VS-2010 and XNA 4.0
XNA 4.0 – Tutorial 2 – Sprites
Originally posted 2009 - Drawing a single static sprite on screen, also covered is adding existing files to the content pipeline. I've updated things to reflect using VS-2010 and XNA 4.0
XNA 4.0 – Tutorial 1 – Fonts
Originally posted 2009 - An XNA take on the old “Hello World!” code, nothing too dificult about it but it does cover adding and loading our first bit of content and the first output on screen. I've updated things to reflect using VS-2010 and XNA 4.0
XNA 4.0 – Tutorial 0 – Intro
Originally posted 2009 - A quick run through of the new project code, explaining what gets called when. If you’ve never looked at XNA or are just looking for a beginners explanation of what happens when you run an XNA application this is for you, some C# knowledge assumed. I've updated things to reflect using VS-2010 and XNA 4.0
XNA 3.x Adding Platformer Starter Kit to Network Game State Management
Originally posted 2009 - This was going to be a series of posts on making a game using the platformer starter kit, but I didn't think anyone liked this article so I didn't continue it, however from the number of hits I'm seeing and the fact that someone asked for this to be reposted, I might just look at this again but for XNA 4.0
