xna future of game developing

XNA Framework

The XNA Framework is based on the .NET Framework 2.0. It has been designed with an extensive set of class libraries, specific to game development exercises, to promote maximal code reuse across target platforms. It will also include a version of the Common Language Runtime, which is optimized for gaming requirements, to provide a managed execution environment to the XNA games. The runtime will be available for both Windows XP, Windows Vista and the Xbox 360. Since XNA games will be written for the runtime, XNA games will run on any platform supporting the XNA framework, with minimal or no modification. Games targeting the XNA framework can be written using the C# language.

The XNA Framework thus encapsulates low-level technological details involved in coding a game, making sure that the framework itself takes care of the difference between platforms when games are ported from one compatible platform to another, and thereby allowing game developers to focus more on the content and gaming experience. The XNA framework will integrate with a number of tools, such as XACT etc., to aid in content creation, as well. These tools can help author the visuals or sounds in the game, and model characters with life-like dynamism.

The XNA Framework was used on the GarageGames Xbox Live! title Marble Blast Ultra which makes use of a C# XNA Framework port of the Torque Game Engine.Currently games on the XNA framework can only be written using Microsoft's own C# programming language
XNA BuildGame Asset Pipeline management tools, which help by defining, maintaining, debugging, and optimizing the Game Asset Pipeline of individual game development efforts. A Game Asset Pipeline describes the process by which game content, such as textures, 3D models etc, are modified to a form suitable for efficient execution by the gaming engine. XNA Build helps identify the pipeline dependencies, and also provides API access to enable further processing of the dependency data. The dependency data can be analyzed to find out which of the content is actually being used by the game. By marking out unused content, XNA Build helps reduce the size of games by as much as 40%.

XNA Studio

XNA Studio is an integrated development environment(IDE) for development of games. Based on Visual Studio 2005 Team System, XNA Studio provides a structure for collaboration between content creators, programmers, management and testers. Project management tasks such as asset management, defect tracking, project automation and work item lists, are somewhat automated by XNA Studio.

XNA Game Studio Express

XNA Game Studio Express is the IDE for homebrew developers that will be available free of charge during the 2006 holiday period[5]. Programmers can create games for free using the XNA framework, but to get their games to run on the Xbox 360 they will have to pay an annual fee of $99 for admission to the creators club. XNA Game Studio Express will also provide basic 'starter kits' which will give beginners to Game development example code showing proper usage of the Framework. In the initial release there will be no way of shipping precompiled binaries to other Xbox 360 players. Instead, others wishing to run the game must have access to the source code and their own membership in the "creators club" program. Distribution of binaries for Windows will be supported.

A beta version was released on 30 August 2006. The aimed release date of the final version is this holiday season

My Spore.

How i can start and say about my story.How i can tell my opinion about spore which was one of mostwanted game in my list,and how i can explan you about my idia,but i just want to tell you a story about myself.

When i play this game a few days ago, i got answer.Will Wright and his teme in maxis did something good but they coudent make this great.i got that they were wonder about space phase ,so they skip from another phase like a hurryboy who wateing for a his pocketmoney ,and this make this game good not great.When i played this game for first time i fall in love with cellP ,but when i imporoved myself and faced with anotherP I disappointed but when i could see myself in SpaceP for first time,I felt myself crazy about this game.A fell i felt 3 years ago.Guys Space is great and I understood why Will and maxis'guys just focus on this.Stars and systems and a galaxy.I felt my spore.
