    - C# and how it works with XNA There is only a handful of books available for programming games in C# and they are mostly geared toward managed directx. XNA is very similar to MDX so it isnt difficult to try to convert them. There is an XNA book coming out soon so that might be worth waiting for.

    - Tint programatically a Texture2D with another Texture2D What do you mean, behind the furniture texture(maps or what)....maybe some examples Is this 2D or 3D application EDIT1: Think about it ...every pixel have assigned value. By reading streams... You can do with this values whatever you like...(I love This One in programming). So answer is: Yes, you can tint texture by another texture... For more help, provide us with some more information. EDIT2: But that's not so easy...Better use some painting App like Paint.net(have .dds plugin). More files but far more easy and efficient.

    - Timing gamePad button, trigger and thumbsticks My first thought would be to save the total elapsed time when a button is first pressed, then if you want to know how long it's been down, get the current total elapsed time and subtract the saved time from it. Code Snippet System.TimeSpan buttonStartTimePress, buttonTotalTimePress; GamePadState previousState; protected void Update(GameTime gameTime) { // Get the current state of the gamepad GamePadState currentState = GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One); // Check if the state has changed since last time if (currentState.PacketNumber != previousState.PacketNumber) { // Input has changed // Lets see if the A button is pressed if (currentState.Buttons.A == ButtonState.Pressed) { // Is it newley pressed, or still being pressed if (previousState.Buttons.A != ButtonState.Pressed) { // Newley pressed, lets start recording the time buttonStartTimePress = gameTime.TotalGameTime; } else { // Is still being held down // Let's see how long it's been held down for buttonTotalTimePress = gameTime.TotalGameTime - buttonStartTimePress; } } else { // The button is not being pressed // Check if the previous state was pressed (ie, released the button) if (previousState.Buttons.A == ButtonState.Pressed) { // We've released the button // Let's see how long it's been held down for buttonTotalTimePress = gameTime.TotalGameTime - buttonStartTimePress; } } } } Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Cannot run Release build, crash...

    - Bug in Mouse.SetPosition This situation only occurs when you have two monitors connected to the same computer After you deactivate and then activate a full screen game the Mouse.SetPosition() command doesn't work properly. That is, the command sets the mouse to a different position to what Mouse.GetState() returns (See Below). This is very annoying, especially when it comes to debugging Mouse .SetPosition(_screen._game.Window.ClientBounds.Width / 2, _screen._game.Window.ClientBounds.Height / 2); MouseState ms = Mouse .GetState(); if (ms.X != _screen._game.Window.ClientBounds.Width / 2 || ms.Y != _screen._game.Window.ClientBounds.Height / 2) { Console .WriteLine( "Ahhh!" ); } Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Cannot run Release build, crash...

    - The Unofficial "Hooray I'm Done With my DBP Game" Thread I'm done. I haven't slept this night at all (it's 6 A.M. here ), and I have classes first thing in the morning, but I'm extremely pleased of what I achieved. Just a sneak preview: my game in called Quantum Wars and is all about time/space manipulation in order to win the battle against the other player. I thank all the comunity for: code snipets, support, examples, counter-examples and everything else. I'll post some more info on my blog hosted at xbox360homebrew, in a few days. Good luck everyone!

    - low fps Well, there's no way to say for sure if we can't see any code. The reason that you get a faster FPS when you zoom out is that there are less pixels to send to the pixel shader, and generally just less to draw.

    - Microsoft's future policy for redistributing Xbox 360 games? There is no announced policy on distribution through Xbox live, so you probably shouldn't count on the availability of such a mechanism. In fact, I'd go so far to say that if you're going to be distributing the software to students (and running on school machines I'd imagine) you might focus on something more portable, such as SDL.

    - Trying to pass a cubemap.dds to a fx shader You could try, either removing the environment section and replacing it with a Texture parameter then passing the texture from the content manager to it (the same as your doing now) Or set the texture file properties so the content mnager does not load it and pass the stringfilename for the .DDS file to the shader instead. Not had chace to test these options, but give them a try! Darkside Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Cannot run Release build, crash... Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

    - Efficiency of Threads on the 360? With the 360, you have access to 4 of the 6 threads. The other two are reserved for the operating system and device control. To use the threads you simply need to set a thread processor affinity. this does nothing on the PC but, is used by the 360 to determine which processor a thread is allocated to. The threads on the 360 are fast so you can speed up your program considerably if you use them in the correct way. Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Cannot run Release build, crash...

    - Will run from debugger, won't run from .EXE on same machine Make sure you copy over all the files you're using, .exe, .dll, \Content, anything else you're using, not just the .exe You might also be linking to a file in an absolute path name. In VS, it might work fine because the file is under your main project folder, but if you move the build files, then it will not find the required files anymore.

    - Drawing Animated Sprites to the Screen The easiest is probably to create a PNG file that has all of your frames in it one after the other, then load it into a Texture2D, and then when doing the SpriteBatch.Draw() call, specify the source rectangle based on the frame you are currently drawing. You should try to avoid creating a seperate image for each, there is a lot of overhead when loading a lot of textures. It would be even better to put all of the sprites you are drawing in the same PNG file and load them into a single texture for performance reasons. Every time you draw from a different Texture2D object there is a lot of overhea in making that switch. Bill Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Cannot run Release build, crash...

    - How to load a WaveFront model? There are no WaveFront loaders included out-of-the-box in the DirectX SDK. Only .X files are supported by the API. Whilst .X is only really important in the developer world there are lots of conversion tools that might well simplify things for you; failing that you'll have to find a 3rd party loader or write your own WaveFront file parser. hth Jack Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Cannot run Release build, crash...

If it runs fine with visual studio express, then how else are you building a release / debug that is causing this problem

What do you mean "noether of them run" What happens when you try to run them
