XNA Game Components

Most Game components will inherit the structure of the Game Class.

Here is a class classed Sprite that was created as an XNA Game Component. I have not added and methods to this class yet. Notice that when you create a game component it already has some of the Template:XNA structure

namespace WindowsGameDemo
{
    /// <summary>
    /// This is a game component that implements IUpdateable.
    /// </summary>
    public class Sprite : Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GameComponent
    {
        public Sprite(Game game)
            : base(game)
        {
            // TODO: Construct any child components here
        }


        /// <summary>
        /// Allows the game component to perform any initialization it needs to before starting
        /// to run.  This is where it can query for any required services and load content.
        /// </summary>
        public override void Initialize()
        {
            // TODO: Add your initialization code here

            base.Initialize();
        }


        /// <summary>
        /// Allows the game component to update itself.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="gameTime">Provides a snapshot of timing values.</param>
        public override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
        {
            // TODO: Add your update code here

            base.Update(gameTime);
        }
    }
}
