Learn about XNA Game Studio and the XNA Framework and how they help to quickly and easily create games using Microsoft Visual C# that run on Windows, the Xbox 360, and Zune. Hear about the goals and features of XNA Game Studio and the XNA Framework and the types of games that can be created; we even create a game during the session.

    Very entertaining & informative presentation! I really enjoyed your session, it was definitely worth skipping lunch for! And you are right, sadly there have been no more great space fighter sims like Wing Commander! So when are you going to make the next one!?

    Does anyone know where I can get the source code for this Demo?  I would like to know how he did some of the things he did not show.

    Thanks!
