Here's what I have in mind for future installments:

  • What the various options are for creating sites with WebMatrix
  • How you can create a site from a Template, and what you end up with when you do
  • How to create a new site from an existing open source application from the Gallery
  • What this new "Razor" syntax is, and why it's cool
  • How to publish your application
  • more...

If there's a particular aspect of WebMatrix that you'd like to see a DevNugget on, please add your comments below, or drop me an email via my blog at http://bit.ly/devhammerContact.

Charlie talks about the tile engine and the quest engine.  The tile engine supports several layers to create a complex final level.  The first layer allows you to define a basic landscape or the interior of a building. A second layer allows you to decorate it with trees, chairs, or other objects. A third layer contains your sprites, and a fourth layer defines the boundaries inside which the sprites can move.

The downloads for the RGP Starter Kit are broken out into versions for XNA Game Studio 2.0 and 3.0. There is also a distinction between code that targets Windows and code for the XBox:

This is a video for people who are trying to figure out how to use functions and where to put stuff in the Visual Studio IDE. 

This example does not use the normal approach of console input and output, it uses a form, event (button click) and other programming elements that end users expect when they use your programs.

After all how many people use software at the console level outside of application engineers and creators?

Demos and examples use VS 2010 Beta 1
