Microsoft XNA
After a slow December which actually only featured a major release of ABC-tool I’m back with a rather simple post…
The past few days I’ve been playing around with Microsoft XNA – yes – it is game development!
I must say – the time I’ve had with XNA had been full of positive experiences! I really think that Microsoft has done a great job with this release – it brings the power of game development to the masses.
In the past I’ve done a very small amount of game programming and the complexity that was needed before I had a simple ‘Hello world’ was enormous! It was very stressful. But now – ‘Game’ is a project type in the programming environment (Visual Studio) that I’m usually working with and they are written in the language (C#) that I’ve got the most experience with… Yay!
Note: My first game won’t be stating “Hello world”… Now that I’m the father of a baby girl it will be “Hello kitty”.
