Template:XNA structure
esse quam videri
The Game class in XNA has many default methods tha tare used to help define a structure for the game. Most XNA Game Components will inherit from this class
Game Methods
- XNA's base class.
Constructor()
- Instantiates objects from classes. New instances of a class are created with the keyword new.
Initialize()
- Initializes all variables. Assigns static variables a value.
LoadGraphicsContent()
- Loads code and images to the memory of the graphics card.
UnloadGraphicsContent()
- Clear the memory of the graphics card.
Game loop
Update()
- Updates game logic – Move, input, score, network, sound. Guarenteed to be called on every iteration
Draw()
- Draws to the screen - May not be called every loop. Should be short and exit quickly
