How to make a 2D XNA
Game
This tutorial will
cover many of the basic concepts that are required to create a game
with Microsoft’s XNA Game Studio 3.1. We’ll cover sprites, user
input with the keyboard and gamepad, collision detection, and much
more. The tutorial will assume that this is your first XNA game and
will take you through the game creation process step by step.
If you already know
C# or another programming language, you’ll have no trouble following
this tutorial. If you’ve never programmed or are just beginning to
learn C#, there will be explanation links to help you with the basic
concepts, but you may want to check out some beginning C# tutorials
first.
XNA Game Studio
works with all editions of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. If you
don’t have Visual Studio, the express edition is available for free
here. After installing Visual Studio, go to the
XNA Creator’s Club to get the Game Studio download. When you’re finished downloading and
installing, come back and we’ll get started!
