Here are two brief samples of loading random content in XNA 1) Loading a random texture2) Loading a random object Random Texture Using the XNA content pipeline in GSE 1.0, it is simple to generate random textures. In my first game, I only require one background image per game. The following code sample randomly selects the "background0" or "background1" asset names with the same path. // Load random background textureRandom random = new Random();int randomNum = random.Next(1,3);string randomBackgroundAssetName...

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail in this post but I have completed my remake of tetris in XNA in 3 days.

I will post a reply to existing and additional comments in the near future. Download XNA Tetris...

The board and pieces are blended with the BG image which is loaded randomly at startup. ...

So the new XNA framework 1.0 has been released. You've heard all about it from your friends who clearly play too many video games. Its easy to get started, especially if your C# 2.0 skills are strong. The concept is basically a framework to support the creation of XBox 360 and PC (Windows) games. XBox 360 games can be deployed to your console with the correct licensing. The same framework can be used to debug the games in a Windows environment. Input data is facilitated by the USB-wired controller,...
