Hey skylervane.

New update on my progress with XNA. I've been studying the different examples, learnt myself quite a few new concepts of c#, like derived classes and stuff like that, and I devised a rather neat test engine if I say so myself. I based it on the examples but improved it to be VERY customizable so to work for all kinds of games and whatnot. Basically you got a number of screen variables and unit variables that each have their own unique code, so you could basically make like a whole bunch of minigames in one game. Anyway, made a small test demo last night too. [link] . It utilizes audio, fonts and basic rendering of textures.

Personally I've greatly enjoyed coding in C#. The class system is just a very neat and way of doing things, and at this rate there won't be much to learn in aoop in school next week.

Slight hickup in getting XNA to work. I finally managed to install XNA studio after first downloading and installing C# express 2005 plus sp1, but apparently the only way to debug the games you create is to connect a 360 to your computer to be able to run them. As I currently do not own a 360 and I'm not planning on getting one this close to start of school I don't have any way of proceeding. Anyway I'm still checking into development into the flash projects.
