The issue of programmatically drawing lines using XNA has been covered here . However, I want to allow a user to draw on a canvas as one would with a drawing app such as MS Paint. This of course requires each x and/or y coordinate change in the mouse pointer position to result in another "dot" of the line being drawn on the canvas in the crayon color in real time. In the mouse move event, what XNA API considerations come into play in order to draw the line point by point? Literally, of course, I'm not drawing a line as such, but rather a sequence of "dots". Each "dot" can, and probably should,

I'm trying to make a WinForms application with embedded XNA according to this sample: http://creators.xna.com/en-US/sample/winforms_series1 What I'm looking for are code samples that use code sample above to study more on the subject. I'm creating a desk game. Thanks for help Well, here is one but also check this project at Codeproject. There are numerous sites, just search XNA and Winforms in your favorite search engine. Responding your question, I'd recommend you join XNA forum . My experience is people there are cool and reliable. Here is a nice post with source code of your particular

I know how to convert a string to an XNA Color object , but how do I convert a C# Color object like Color.Blue into its string representation(e.g. "Blue"). Bennor McCarthy You need to do the reverse of what was done in your previous question: Convert from XNA color to System color Try and convert the system color to a known color If the conversion worked, call ToString on the known color e.g. // Borrowed from previous question using XnaColor = Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.Color; System.Drawing.Color clrColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromName("Red"); XnaColor xnaColor = new XnaColor(clrColor

So I have a simple XNA project going on. Basically the question I have is how to handle texture loading and making sure there is proper access to those textures from other classes? For example, every tutorial I've seen, as well as what I can tell from the actual logic of XNA, you're supposed to load textures in the LoadContent() method. But let's say I have another class, Level , that needs its own unique set of textures, and within that I create an instance of my Player object, which also needs its own texture, and of course enemies and everything else. One way I could do it is just to load

I'm creating an XNA game and am getting an unexpected result, extremely low FPS (About 2-12 fps). What program should I use to test performance and track down what is slowing it down? Jeff_Hd Have you tried using SlimTune ? You could also use StopWatch to measure sections manually. Okay, let me bring my personal experience with game development in XNA. The first thing you need to do is go into Debug -> Start Performance Analysis. This profiles your CPU activity and see's what threads are in use and what is doing the most processing. You also need to factor in a couple of more things: -You are

I'm using C# WinForms to create a level builder for my XNA game. I have a tile grid that you can paint with a Pencil tool, like in MSPaint. The problem is that when you drag the mouse fast(ish) to paint a line tiles get skipped. I've tried using one approach i saw on Google saying to spawn a thread to do the painting, but that didn't seem to help. Any ideas? OTTOMH, you could keep track of the last point the mouse was and in your MouseMove handler you can assume linear motion and determine all the tiles between the last point and the current point. My guess is that you're not likely to ever

I know this question has been asked a few times before, and I have read various posts about this. However I am struggling to get this to work. bool isClicked() { Vector2 origLoc = Location; Matrix rotationMatrix = Matrix.CreateRotationZ(-Rotation); Location = new Vector2(0 -(Texture.Width/2), 0 - (Texture.Height/2)); Vector2 rotatedPoint = new Vector2(Game1.mouseState.X, Game1.mouseState.Y); rotatedPoint = Vector2.Transform(rotatedPoint, rotationMatrix); if (Game1.mouseState.LeftButton == ButtonState.Pressed && rotatedPoint.X > Location.X && rotatedPoint.X < Location.X + Texture.Width &&
