This module is one in a collection of modules designed primarily for teaching GAME 1343 Game and Simulation Programming I at Austin Community College in Austin, TX. These modules are intended tosupplement and not to replace the textbook.

An earlier module titled Getting Started provided information on how to get started programming with Microsoft's XNA Game Studio.

General background information

The earlier module titled Xna0118-The XNA Framework and the Game Class used a very simple XNA program to teach many of the details regarding the incorporation ofthe XNA framework into the object-oriented C# programming language.

Skeleton code

When you create a new Windows Game project using Visual C#, a source code file named Game1.cs is automatically created and opened in the editor window. The file contains skeleton code for a windows gamebased on XNA. Listing 1 shows the skeleton code contained in the file named Game1 (with most of the comments deleted for brevity).
