xna

I'm creating my own HashSet that works as the standard HashSet, using a Dictionary. I'm doing this because C# for XNA XBox doesn't support HashSets. This code is based on code from an example I found. I've edited the example to fix some of the problems but it still won't compile. public class HashSet2<T> : ICollection<T> { private Dictionary<T, Int16> dict; // code has been edited out of this example // see further on in the question for the full class public IEnumerator<T> GetEnumerator() { throw new NotImplementedException(); } IEnumerator<T> IEnumerable<T>.GetEnumerator() { return dict

I am trying to follow this answer to add some audio files to the windows phone emulator's media library. But I get the error The type or namespace name 'PhoneExtensions' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media' (are you missing an assembly reference?)` I am unable to reference microsoft.xna.framework.media.phoneextensions.dll as it is not present at the location C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\Profile\WindowsPhone71 I installed Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 but still could not find the dll in the system folders. I tried but

I'm working on a pong game, since i'm new at programming, i don't know how to get acess to another class variable. I have seperate classes, green and blue paddles, a ball, and game1.cs. I control the ball movement with bool movingUp, movingLeft; It bounces off the borders of the screen, but i don't know how to make it work with the paddles. Basically, how do i check the position of the paddle, and make so when the ball touches the paddle, it bounces off? I mean, how to detect the collision? public class Ball { ParticleEngine particleEngine; GraphicsDeviceManager graphics; Texture2D texture;

I an confused about how to pass values of variables from 1 gamecomponent to another. I am using xna 4.0. I created two gamecomponents, the drawstring and the inputmanager. I want to read the keyboard input of the user and pass it onto drawstring where it will update the position. I cant add components on drawstring(drawablegamecomponent). I can do it on class but not on gamecomponent. Can you guys post some examples here. For beginners. Use GameComponent for something that you would want to have Update called on every frame, and use DrawableGameComponent for something that you would want to

I'm trying to use the XNA microphone to capture audio and pass it to an API I have that analyses the data for display purposes. However, the API requires the audio data in an array of 16 bit integers. So my question is fairly straight forward; what's the most efficient way to convert the byte array into a short array? private void _microphone_BufferReady(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { _microphone.GetData(_buffer); short[] shorts; //Convert and pass the 16 bit samples ProcessData(shorts); } Cheers, Dave EDIT : This is what I have come up with and seems to work, but could it be done faster

I have a certain amount of classes which inherit from an abstract class: abstract public class baseClass { //logics } public class child1 : baseClass { } public class child2 : baseClass { } now I've got some management class which will have to create one of these classes depending on a enum which will have as value the same name so like this: public enum ClassType { child1, child2 } public class Manager { private List<baseClass> _workers; public void Initialize(ClassType type) { //what logics to put here? (resulting in correctChild) _workers.Add(correctChild); } } I was thinking of typeof but
