Game Class
The XNA Game class has two private properties
- GraphicsDeviceManager graphics;
- ContentManager content;
//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;
- 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
- IntroSimpleSpriteUpdateWindows.zip
- IntroSimpleSpriteWindows/Game1.cs
Understanding GameTime We'll revisit game time when we talk about performance profiling.
- Draw(GameTime gameTime)
Console And Trace
We will build a console class later and debug in game.

Homework
- XNA Picture With Update
- Update you picture to include some movement with the update method.
- Sprite Class
- Build a class that is reusable that can draw a single texture on the screen. Be sure to encapsulate all the properties and method that you need to draw the sprite.
- Read Chapter 2 in XNA 3.0
- Read Chapter 4 in XNA 3.0 (yes we skipped 3 we'll come back)
