Excellent tutorial. My first time on XNA, and C# [I know C++ though] and it makes perfect sense and explains why I'm doing what I'm doing instead of just blindly pasting lines in. Thank you very much :)

# re: XNADevelopment.com - Creating a 2D Sprite (2.0)

Hi,

In the "Creating a 2D Sprite - Drawing your first sprites to the screen" if you want to use the ContentManager in the LoadContent method in the Sprite class, you need to add

using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content;

ps: nice tutorials :)

# re: XNADevelopment.com - Creating a 2D Sprite (2.0)

Hi there i have a bit of a problem you said add
Vector2 mPosition = new Vector2(0,0)
Texture2D mSpriteTexture;
at the top is this correct

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GamerServices;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Net;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Storage;

// dont know if this is right
Vector2 mPosition = new Vector2(0,0);
Texture2D mSpriteTexture;


namespace MyFirstGame
{
could you let us know i get the errors which are related to those two bits as follows:
Error 1 A namespace does not directly contain members such as fields or methods C:\XNA Games\MyFirstGame\MyFirstGame\Game1.cs 13 1 MyFirstGame

Error 2 Expected class, delegate, enum, interface, or struct C:\XNA Games\MyFirstGame\MyFirstGame\Game1.cs 13 25 MyFirstGame

Neat stuff .. was going thru an Apress book.. but i stumbled upon this method meself, thnx to u, got it confirmed :D

# re: XNADevelopment.com - Creating a 2D Sprite (2.0)

Great stuff! I've only programmed a bit in C before so this is a good transition for me and im looking forward to getting on with the Wizard tutorials next!

# Hi, an error I spotted

You have a call to base.Update(), but Update is not declared in your sprites.cs class.

# re: XNADevelopment.com - Creating a 2D Sprite (2.0)

@mike:

you can do this by instantiating an array of your ObjectType with size of 40. You could then create a for loop to loop through each element and draw it to the screen. It's all about taking your pre-existing C#/Programming knowledge, and applying it to his examples to do the things you want to do.

# re: XNADevelopment.com - Creating a 2D Sprite (2.0)

Sorry for triple posting(no edit button)

@mike:

im pretty sure there's a function in C# somewhere for you to obtain a random number. once again, take your knowledge of the language, and apply it to your new knowledge of CSharp, and you can do some cool things.

# re: XNADevelopment.com - Creating a 2D Sprite (2.0)

@David Williams:

He said to add it to the top of your class. The reason you're getting erros is because you're using entities which do not yet exist. Entities you want to use (such as Vector2 or Texture2D) must come after the using statement in which they exist, and should exists within the class level of the class you want to use them in.

# re: XNADevelopment.com - Creating a 2D Sprite (2.0)

Thank you so much for the Examples. I have learned more from your teaching then reading some of the XNA books out there.

# re: XNADevelopment.com - Creating a 2D Sprite (2.0)

finally a good tutorial that shows you the basics of making a game, thanks george!!!

# re: XNADevelopment.com - Creating a 2D Sprite (2.0)

Interesting article. Very good thanks.

I've finsihed and released my game on the gp2x. I'm now considering a port onto the Xbox 360 XNA C#.

Your article gave me a good taster of the actual code.

hey nice tutorials george. I ran into a little problem though.

//create a new Spriteach, which can be used to draw textures
spriteBatch = new SpriteBatch(GraphicsDevice);

it says that i was using GraphicsDevice as a variable but its a type. Ive done some XNA before mainly 1.0 so i knew that i had to put graphics.GraphicsDevice to fix it. Not sure if anyone else has had a problem with this, but i did. Nice tutorials and i really like them. Thank you

So, all that you have to do is select the TGA files to use and let Sprite Page Creator take care of the rest. So, if your looking for a image sequence compiler take this tool for a spin and see if its capabilities are enough to satisfy your needs.........
