xna

What do you think about xna and massive multiplayer? for example server and 100 clients? Is there any nice tutorial how to create client server application in xna? There certainly are tutorials on how to do it. Personally I use Lidgren for my online prototype. I've only tested it with 4 people total and the server running on a low resource ubuntu vps, running on Mono, so I can't tell you how it will scale up but I'm sure others could. For quick reading check out the site, http://code.google.com/p/lidgren-network-gen3/ , you can read the wiki posts and google groups to get an idea of what

I have the following annoyance: Whenever I start debugging an XNA game, the game window pops up in the center of my screen. Since I have a dual monitor system, I'd like to set the default startup position somewhere my second monitor. But, this should only happen in debug modus. You need to add a reference to System.Windows.Forms and System.Drawing (as pointed out by Steve H) and then do the following somewhere outside the constructor, like in the Initialize override. var form = (System.Windows.Forms.Form)System.Windows.Forms.Control.FromHandle(this.Window.Handle); form.Location = new System

From what I can see from myshader.fx the file, it does. Here is my shader code: sampler TextureSampler : register(s0); float _valueAlpha = 1; float _valueRGB = 1; float4 main(float4 color : COLOR0, float2 texCoord : TEXCOORD0) : COLOR0 { // Look up the texture color. float4 tex = tex2D

I'm working on a simple 2D Real time strategy game using XNA. Right now I have reached the point where I need to be able to click on the sprite for a unit or building and be able to reference the object associated with that sprite. From the research I have done over the last three days I have found many references on how to do "Mouse picking" in 3D which does not seem to apply to my situation. I understand that another way to do this is to simply have an array of all "selectable" objects in the world and when the player clicks on a sprite it checks the mouse location against the locations of
