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

<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp" line="1" > 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);
       }
   }

} </csharp>
