A video of a game made in XNA in about 12 hours. It's a recreation of John Conway's Game of Life, which is a zero-player game using cellular automata to simulate life.

Ooh, that looks pretty cool. I hope to start developing some games using XNA when I get my new computer. What do you think of it so far?

XNA is really quite nice so far. It's very clean and easy to set up (compared to past experience with OpenGL and DirectX.) If you've coding experience, it's a great way to get started fast, and since it's becoming popular there's a lot of places to get resources and help.

Sounds good. I've had previous coding experience with C#/C++ and DirectX,, however I've never been able to do much since my computer is really old. And XNA looks even better than DirectX.
