I have read how to make XNA games book and I made a game actually.
It was not easy without source code from the author. Since the author does not write where and how to code, it is as impossible to do so. And, it was not so fun. After all, the book seems to be popular.
It felt as I made a game with Director for many years ago. I must say that I am an authorized Director programmer by Macromedia (now it is owned by Adobe).
As if it were with the Director, I have a problem with the game. A potential problem.
I do not play!
To play game is like nothing – almost nothing for me.
So it is difficult for me to improvise a new game. That is why I believe I do not continue.
I quit, but I am still interested in Silverlight.
I have many things to test with Visual Studio 2008 and I use it now, but I already have Visutal Studio 2010. Maybe I will use Silverlight a little later.
