If you are unsure, here are some factors that may help you consider the options:. XNA Framework is in C. The concepts are the same, you just need to learn how to work with the API. If you are still reading, thank you. I admire your persistent! Viewed 35k times. Where is the industry moving in terms of game programming? Improve this question.

SharpDX latest version 2. An update of this article will follow on new sharpdx. In just over 60 days we went from concept to Alpha. The speed, knowledge, expertise, and flexibility is second to none. The Toptal team were as part of tripcents as any in-house team member of tripcents. They contributed and took ownership of the development just like everyone else. We will continue to use Toptal. As a start up, they are our secret weapon. I am more than pleased with our experience with Toptal. The professional I got to work with was on the phone with me within a couple of hours.
I knew after discussing my project with him that he was the candidate I wanted. I hired him immediately and he wasted no time in getting to my project, even going the extra mile by adding some great design elements that enhanced our overall look. The developers I was paired with were incredible -- smart, driven, and responsive.
It used to be hard to find quality engineers and consultants. Now it isn't. Toptal understood our project needs immediately. We were matched with an exceptional freelancer from Argentina who, from Day 1, immersed himself in our industry, blended seamlessly with our team, understood our vision, and produced top-notch results. Toptal makes connecting with superior developers and programmers very easy. As a small company with limited resources we can't afford to make expensive mistakes.
Toptal provided us with an experienced programmer who was able to hit the ground running and begin contributing immediately. It has been a great experience and one we'd repeat again in a heartbeat. We used Toptal to hire a developer with extensive Amazon Web Services experience. We interviewed four candidates, one of which turned out to be a great fit for our requirements. The process was quick and effective. Sergio was an awesome developer to work with.
Top notch, responsive, and got the work done efficiently. Working with Marcin is a joy. He is competent, professional, flexible, and extremely quick to understand what is required and how to implement it. We needed a expert engineer who could start on our project immediately. This is just a demo showing you a CornFlowerBlue screen. Now get to the Project Properties and choose the Application tab.
There select Class Library as an Output Type:. Let's continue. We shall create a Windows Phone 7 Application, debug it and then copy the xap file to a location where we can access it easily. Touch; using Microsoft. Since XAP files are archives, they can be opened via Winrar or another zip application.
After we've opened this archive file, we'll be displaying 5 files again:. Now we'll have to edit AppManifest. It would be better if you extract these 2 files. Now re-add these files in the archive alongside with the WGame.
And now start the "Application Deployment" utility, to deploy this package to a WP7 emulator. Click Deploy and it will ultimately succeed. Run WGame application. And you shall see CornFlowerBlue screen. Now that we know Class Libraries and WP7 applications can be the same, it's time to dive even deeper. You know how it will end; just like in the Star Wars series. It's exciting for me to share my experiments with you. Even the failures! So it would be wise to develop a class library to save time.
Then add a reference to XNA dlls. First right click to your project and choose References. Find these dlls:. Framework 4. Avatar 4. Pipelin e 4. Game 4. GamerServices 4. Graphics 4. Touch 4. Net 4. Storage 4. Video 4. XACT 4. I have bad news for you. It was supported back in VS But for VS they wanted to eliminate this feature.
By default the System namespace has already been added. These namespaces are taken from the previously built C Class library project as both of them use the same namespaces and it was wise that we've added them too.
Now let's add two variables GraphicsDeviceManager and SpriteBatch which will be needed for our project:. Game1 void. If you are familiar with XNA you're also familiar with functions used for generating game projects. What are those functions? Remember one thing.
These functions are protected with overridable so we will code it according to this information. Here we are. Did you remember what were we doing in Program. Let me remind you: We were creating an instance of the Game object and let it running by using Run function.
By default when you first open this cpp source file, you shall see some codes like that:. That's all. As you can see we have created a STAThreadAttribute main function that takes string args as parameters and returns it. As I have told before we have created an instance of Game1 object and then run it!
Copy this file to a place where we can access easily. Now we will be using the same XAP file we have created earlier. Apply the same steps we have done before. The WMAppManifest. It will not run. I hope one day it is supported in this great architecture.
NET too. This experiment's result is failure. As you can see, there is no support. You'll think a couple of seconds-minutes about it. Why is the result like that.
