What is the program, web site, or whatever for me to be able to make these games? I was gonna buy an XNA Programming book, but had no clue what software, or computer with what abount of gigabytes, I needed. Always wanted to enter the gaming industry, but can't afford it.

you need visual studio express edition and the XNA framework, you can get both for free at microsoft downloads, you don't need a super cumputer just make sure that you have a AGP or PCX graphic card ;)

Do we need to know C++ to do this XNA thing?

[mchoper]

nop, XNA uses c#, if you know c++ you can use directx.

Thx, speaking of C#...how much difference between C++ and C#?...are they simalar in some way?

[mchoper]

the sintaxis is very similar, C# is a managed  and fully object oriented C++ (and visual :P), C# is like java.

spriteBatch.Begin(SpriteBlendM­ode.AlphaBlend);

spriteBatch.Draw(myTexture, spritePosition, Color.White);

spriteBatch.End();

Use this.

Hey man, nice job.

I am currently working on learnign C# but it keeps givign me an error that is preventing me from moving on.

When i do:

spriteBatch.Begin(yada yada yada)

spriteBatch.Draw(myTexture, spritePosition, Color.Green)

spriteBatch.End()

spriteBatch.Draw(myTexture, spritePosition, Color.Green) comes up as an error or a warning. it says the sprite, myTexture, is null. how do i fix that?
