SVN Checkout
All of the examples for this class and the basic game library we wil be building is in our SVN repo this week we'll practice checking out a folder from the repo.
Tools
- Ahnk SVN for Visual Studio http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/E721D830-7664-4E02-8D03-933C3F1477F2
- TortoiseSVN http://tortoisesvn.net/
Repo for Spring 2016
Trunk : this contains all the old student work as well as my demos so you probably don't want this at least not quite yet
https://iam.colum.edu:8443/svn/GPMonogame35/trunk
Just the Jeff folder

SNV checkout demo.
In the coming weeks we'll learn how to commit to the SNV. Until then all you need to know is how to checkout.
Monogame Structures
Game Class
The MonogameGame class has two private properties
- GraphicsDeviceManager graphics;
- ContentManager content;
Graphics for windows and xbox are 60 fps. XBOx supports NTSC resolutions (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p 1080p is only on newer hdmi models).
//the game constuctor can be used to set some graphics settings. graphics.PreferredBackBufferHeight = 768; graphics.PreferredBackBufferWidth = 1024; //graphics.PreferredBackBufferHeight = 1080; //graphics.PreferredBackBufferWidth = 1920; //graphics.IsFullScreen = true;
Graphics for Mobile Game is 30 fps and 480 x 800.
// Frame rate is 30 fps by default for Windows Phone.
TargetElapsedTime = TimeSpan.FromTicks(333333);
// Pre-autoscale settings.
graphics.PreferredBackBufferWidth = 480;
graphics.PreferredBackBufferHeight = 800;
- Declare SpriteBatch spriteBatch;
- Initialize()
- LoadContent()
- UnloadContent()
- Update(GameTime gameTime)
GameTime
FrameRate and GameTime
Time and Timespan
Example of update using GameTime to calculate elapsed time
Demo
- SimpleUpdateMovement : move with Keyboard
- SimpleUpdateMovementWGravity: simple gravity moves sprite down
- SimpleUpdateMovementWState: better movement show different types with state selector
- SimpleMovementJump: Very simple Jump and Gravity
Understanding GameTime We'll revisit game time when we talk about performance profiling.
Time corrected sprite movement
- Draw(GameTime gameTime)
Console And Trace
We will build a console class later and debug in game.

Homework
- XNA Picture With Update
- Update your picture to include some movement with the update method. Use the keyboard or mouse to interact with something on the screen
- Read Chapter 2 in XNA 3.0
- Read Chapter 4 in XNA 3.0 (yes we skipped 3 we'll come back)
