Microsoft PressTo Jake, a great dog who is much missed.
Im not sure if you are meant to have fun writing books, but I do. Thanks to Devon Musgrave, Ben Ryan, Valerie Woolley, and Steve Sagman for making everything fit so well together and to Kurt Meyer and Nick Gravely for making sure it all makes sense. I must also mention the XNA team who keep making a great thing better, year on year, and the Windows Phone team who have made something amazing.
With Microsoft XNA, Microsoft is doing something really special. It is providing an accessible means for people to create programs for the Windows PC, Xbox 360, and Windows Phone. Now pretty much anyone can take a game idea, run it on a genuine console, and even send it to market in Xbox Live or the Windows Phone Marketplace.
This book shows you how to make game programs and run them on an Xbox 360, a Microsoft Windows PC, or a Windows Phone device. It also gives you an insight into how software is created and what being a programmer is really like.
If you have always fancied writing software but have no idea how to start, then this book is for you. If you have ever played a computer game and thought, I wonder how they do that? or, better yet, I want to make something like that, then this book will get you started with some very silly games that you and all your friends can have a go at playing and modifying. Along the way, youll also get a decent understanding of C#, which is a massively popular programming language used by many thousands of software developers all over the world. The C# skills that you pick up in this book can also be used as the basis of a career in programming, should you find that you really enjoy writing programs. And because the design of the C# language is very similar to C, C++, and Java, you will find that your skills can be used with them too.
The book is structured into 19 chapters, starting with the simplest possible XNA program and moving on to show you how to use the Xbox gamepad, the keyboard, sounds, graphics, and network in your games. In the course of learning how to use C# and XNA, you create some very silly games, including Color Nerve, Mind Reader, Gamepad Racer, Bread and Cheese, and Button Bash. You can even download the full versions of these games from http://www.verysillygames.com and use them at your next party. The final section shows you how to take your programming skills and use them to create games for the Windows Phone device.
With this book, I show you that programming is a fun, creative activity that lets you bring your ideas to life.
