XNA Basics - Introduction

[kd0afk]

you are hard to follow.

[Whiplashx86]

@kd0afk I was still trying things back then. The newer ones are much better.

[ETonCrack]

whoa whoa whoa, no C#? then its not really a tutorial... its a description on what I COULD do. I dont want that... I WANT C#.

[Zolga00]

should do it with c# basics

[MrSean490]

I'm practically a beginner at programming, apart from using some sort of language called "GML" (You can look into that, just google Game Maker, it has a drop and drag system and then an actual "programming language"), which has given me a basic understanding of how programming sort of works, I don't really know anything else...

Is there much hope for me? or will I need a lot more experience beforehand?

[Whiplashx86]

@MrSean490 If you have at least some knowledge on how programming works, you can give it a try :)

[MrSean490]

@Whiplashx86 alright thanks mate.

BTW, does it matter if I use 3.1 XNA, compared to 3.0?

(I don't really know the difference)

[Whiplashx86]

@MrSean490 For this stuff, not really. I would just go ahead with 3.1 though. It just has additional functionality like video and Avatars, so what you will learn from these videos doesnt really matter on the version.

@MrSean490 gamemaker...

[MrSean490]

@jorreerroj Ya

[jorreerroj]

@MrSean490 i used that 2 xD bad memories :P

[119obiwan]

@MrSean490 you should start learning some programming languages. the way i started learning is the same way i still use today when i want to learn another programming language. you should get a microsoft app first (google "Microsoft Visual _______" and fill in blank with desired language, for example Microsoft Visual C#) Then, start out with easy stuff. You will ALWAYS learn from youtube. Search for tutorials on how to make easy applications like notepads, etc and work your way up! (:

[jocoolmen]

will it work on the new 2010 express?? 

[Whiplashx86]

@jocoolmen XNA 3.1 will not work well with 2010. So if you do not want to make things complicated, I would get c# 2008 express until XNA 4.0 is fully released.

[MastahChief101]

I MAED A GAME WITH ZOMBIES IN IT!!!!!

[Charsept]

@MastahChief101

Thats the mistake i made the last time i used xna but now i know how to fix this because of you so thank you mate im subscribing

[elyas10]

Im very new in game programing, I know very little C++. Some java and as3 and win32 assembly.

I was wondering if you can make tutorials from the VERY begining where you teach me/us which software to download and which plugins as well as learning C#.

[HawkEyeSlay]

If you are want to make games for MS platforms (win, box, zune) this is your best choice. :)

[VincentVBoold]
