Session Abstract: Introduction to XNA: Game Development for Fun and Profit
While many of us dream of jobs in game development, XNA Game Studio
and Microsoft's AppHub give you the tools necessary to make and
publish your own games for the Windows, Xbox Live Indie Games and
Windows Phone 7 Marketplace. Chris will begin by giving a brief
overview game development and using XNA Game Studio. From there, he
will progress into the some of the tools necessary for all game
development, such as the game loop, collision detection, and
processing inputs from analog devices.
From there, Chris will present some issues that are specific to the
individual platform. This will include handling the wild west of the
PC, dealing with the confined environment of the Xbox 360, and scaling
to the minimalistic Windows Phone 7 environment. There will also be a
overview of the new Mixed Silverlight and XNA projects available in
Window Phone 7.5.
