XNA Tutorials for C# beginners

xnatutorialXNA tutorial publisher">Joran Omark has five video tutorials for XNA users up his sleeve. According to him, the tutorials, which you you can download below, came from scratch - this means that you won't find it too useful if you're already an advanced C# programmer. He says that the actual code used is not that different from what is in the very first XNA tutorial written, and doesn't deviate much from that code until you reach tutorial 4.

There are five downloadable tutorials here: 1.2, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, and 5.1.
  • Tutorial 1. 2 installs the tools you need, and explains the basic division of code, much like like explaining how to divide a book into chapters and paragraphs.
  • Tutorial 2.1 talks a bit about the difference between programming normal Windows programs and games, makes a small "Hello World" program, and introduces the IDE.
  • Tutorial 3.1 actually manages to draw a ball on the screen, so it is a bit longer, because a lot of C# concepts are gone over, especially methods calls (jump between code lines) and variable declarations (storing in memory).
  • Tutorial 4.1 makes the ball bounce, so it has to deal with some game logic, such as if constructs.
  • Tutorial 5.1 mostly focuses on refactoring, and moves all the ball code to its own class.
A lot of beginners on XNA programming will find these tools totally helpful -- so big thanks to Joran Omark.

Hello there! I heard from a friend, Tijir, that you guys are mirroring my tutorials. Thank you!



This is a five-pack of my tutorials, as of today. I'm of course working on more tutorials, so check back at XNAtutorial.com or here at QJ.



I have also collected a bunch of comments from people on the first five tutorials, and I will reshoot them eventually, to make them be even more informative.



Drop me a line if you have any suggestions on how to improve them. Email me using anything you like preceding @XNAtutorial.com, and I guarantee an answer.

# How do I contact the staff?JoranOmark 2006-09-24 03:46
I would very much like to contact the staff of xbox360.qj.net, especially Marie N., who made this post.



I've looked up and down the website, and can't find any link. Can someone help out?



It would be nice if I can give them formal permission to post my tutorials, which they don't have right now... (c: Don't get me wrong. Xbox360.qj.net are free to mirror my tutorials.



The only thing I want is to be able to contact the administrators when I update the tutorials, so they can be updated here as well. We're talking about quality assurance, both for XNAtutorial.com, and qj.net, so they should be interested in a dialogue.
