My slide deck from presenting to the Cleveland WPF User Group about using XNA inside Silverlight for web gaming.

1. XNA and Silverlight Aaron Stanley King

2. XNA and Silverlight Free game development toolkit using .NET, C# Extends Visual Studio 2010 Including the free C# Express Edition Version 4.0 Cross Platform Input API Enhanced Audio and Video Windows Phone 7 App Hub membership Develop and publish for Xbox 360 or Windows Phone Unlock your phone to development and publish to the Zune Marketplace $99/12 months

3. Fundementals Initialize LoadContent Update Draw UnloadContent

4. The Game Loop while (IsRunning) { Update(); Draw(); }

5. The Content Pipeline

6. ScreenManager screenManager= new ScreenManager(this); Components.Add(screenManager); void OptionsMenuEntrySelected(object sender, PlayerIndexEventArgs e) { ScreenManager.AddScreen(new OptionsMenuScreen(), e.PlayerIndex); } Architectural Design (decide early if you want more than one ScreenManager) GameScreen classes are loaded into a ScreenManager ( pretty! ) Simple transitions can be added (Bing for more) GameComponent is very useful as a base class for most parts of your game

7. Msft.Xna.FW.Input GamePad Buttons ButtonState GamePadDeadZone GamePadType Keyboard Keys KeyState Mouse Buttons Position Msft.Xna.Fw.Input.TOUCH Input API TouchPanel GestureType TouchLocationState Msft.Devices.Sensors Accelerometer SensorState

8. _soundEffect = Content.Load<SoundEffect>("ShotEffect"); var pan = (float)((_rnd.NextDouble() - 0.5) * 2.0); varpitch = (float)((_rnd.NextDouble() - 0.5) * 2.0); varvolume = (float)((_rnd.NextDouble() / 2.0) + 0.5); _soundEffect.Play(volume, pitch, pan); Audio

9. Sorry, no transforms or storyboards Just Draw ( most powerful method in the XNA universe ) public void Draw ( Texture2D texture, Vector2 position, Nullable<Rectangle> sourceRectangle, Color color, float rotation, Vector2 origin, float scale, SpriteEffectseffects, float layerDepth ) Animations

10. Silversprite SilverArcade.SilverSprite.dll SilverArcade.SilverSprite.Core.dll A little XAML <UserControlx:Class="SilverSprite.Page" xmlns="http://schem...resentation" xmlns:x="http://schema...xaml" Width="400" Height="300" xmlns:game="clr-namespace:Game"> <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"> <Canvas> <game:Game1 x:Name="game"/> </Canvas> </Grid> </UserControl> Add content to your silverlightapp (/Content )
