Windows Phone 7 XNA Game Tutorial Ep 2 - Drawing & Physics Part 1 - MangoLander

In this second tutorial video about how to create a Windows Phone 7 game, I start the basics of our game MangoLander - the example project we are using to learn about Windows Phone 7, XNA, and game programming in general. New episodes semi-regularly - SUBSCRIBE FOR UPDATES.

Please like/comment/favorite! Best viewed in 720p.

MangoLander is an homage to both the Mango update for Windows Phone, and the classic arcade game Lunar Lander.

is there a part two?

[TradeMarkNZ]

@CreativiaGames I'm putting up new episodes all the time - "Part 1" in the title refers to the Physics section. The next episode (Ep 3) introduces some more Physics concepts (and it thus titled Physics Part 2).

great videos! I learned a lot, but how did you actually made the sprite? I just can't make it transparent.

[TradeMarkNZ]

@idelta777 How do you mean? I used Photoshop, which can handle transparency; then save it as a PNG file. What software are you using?
