Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Kinect Games v2.5 with the Kinect for Windows SDk v1.6 http://files.channel9.msdn.com/thumbnail/12041a2f-cbbd-4976-acbc-693ec515f3b8.png Channel 9 - Kinect Games v2.5 with the Kinect for Windows SDk v1.6 Today's project by Friend of the Gallery, David Renton, takes us back to his Games projects, which have been updated for the latest Kinect for Windows SDK v1.6. Kinect Games v2.5 using Kinect SDK v1.6 including source codeThis new release of Kinect Games fixes a couple of bugs from the last release which affected performance, the main thing being that I wasn’t correctly disposing of some unmanaged resources which slowed down the framerate. As well as fixing those bugs I have also used the new Kinect SDK v1.6 in this release which should also improve performance. I have also added a new game to the installer called Kinect Pong, which is just a simple pong game which can be played 1 player against the computer or in 2 players mode. You simply use your right hand to control the bat; the game senses whether 1 or 2 players are standing in front of Kinect and automatically implements AI for the 2nd bat if only 1 person is playing. There are a few keyboard controls for Kinect Pong:F11 toggles full screen modeUP and DOWN cursor keys move the Kinect camera angle up and downSPACE BAR toggles the video feed on and off (turning it off will improve framerate on slow computers)ENTER starts a new game when a game has endedESCAPE quits the game Please click here to download the new all in one installer for Kinect Games version 2.5, the installer includes Kinect Angles, Kinect Time, Kinect Magic Cursor, Kinect Pong, .net 4.0 framework, XNA4 runtime and Kinect SDK v1.6. Source CodeClick here to download Kinect Angles v2.5 source codeClick here to download Kinect Time v1.6 source codeClick here to download Kinect Pong v1.6 source codeClick here to download Kinect Magic Cursor v1.6 source code You might notice in the Kinect Pong source code that I haven’t used classes much, that was because I was writing the Pong game for a structured programming unit I teach which doesn’t go into classes but only structures. I simply added the Kinect stuff into the game I wrote for that class, so that is why it doesn’t use classes much. I suppose if you are a beginner to XNA/Kinect programming this may make the code easier to follow, or not as the case may be Project Information URL: http://drenton72.wordpress.com/2012/10/15/kinect-games-v2-5-using-kinect-sdk-v1-6-including-source-code/ Project Download URL: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/51033091/xGames/KinectGamesv2_5.exe Project Source URL: Kinect Angles v2.5 source code, Kinect Time v1.6 source code, Kinect Pong v1.6 source code, Kinect Magic Cursor v1.6 source code Contact Information: Blog: http://drenton72.wordpress.com Twitter: @drenton72 en Fri, 24 May 2013 21:21:43 GMT Fri, 24 May 2013 21:21:43 GMT Rev9 Re: Kinect Games v2.5 with the Kinect for Windows SDk v1.6 What version of studio did you use?

After I load the solution file into VS.2010 it says "The project type cannot be found".

Do you XNA installed? You can download it, the XNA Game Studio, from here, http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23714

But now I guess I'm missing something about Pong.

Trying to play one player. It seems to recognize me and let me manipulate the right hand side, red paddle. But the blue paddle, which I think is supposed to be "AI driven" just rests at the bottom of the screen.
