XNA 3.0 and Beyond

Abstract

In this workshop, we will overview XNA 3.0 architecture and applications, and survey currently available C# libraries that can be used with XNA 3.0 for game development. As such, the workshop will be divided into two sections as described below.

Section 1
XNA 3.0 overview and applications
In this section, we will overview XNA 3.0 architecture for writing Windows, Xbox 360, and Zune and show how to use Visual Studio 2008 to write XNA game applications. At end of this section, we will demonstrate some of the XNA applications written by the students in the game and computer graphics classes offered in the past year at the University of Louisville.

Section 2
Useful C# class libraries for XNA game development
Since XNA is basically a engine (including C# class library and XACT) for game 2D/3D graphics, sound, and networking, we need additional tools to help game developers to be more productive. In this section, we will survey some currently available C# class libraries that can be used with XNA for game data structures, AI, and physics.
