When I first started the Visual Studio Express, it reminds me of Visual Basic because the interface looks like it. To create a game, it is very simple and easy. Just select new at the file menu, select game type and give a name. Once you click OK, the game will automatically construct itself.
Hang on, don't congrats me just yet because it just one in a million steps to create a good game. But at least, the game can be run and it shows a window with a light blue screen. The codes pretty much like java (yup, I got a basic knowledge on Java). It inherits from Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game, which is a skeleton code of a game application. This object itself free’s you from having to create a ton of boilerplate code to create the main window, set up the graphics card and a number of other mundane actions. Additionally, it links in all the various XNA assemblies, regardless to if you need them or not. Other then that, it implemented a default Constructor, the Update method and the Draw method.

This blog contains reports and sequences of my decisions made while designing and implementing my game for my MSc Dissertation. This will help to track my progress and effort, and should prove a useful reference for me to design, build, and extend my game. Also can be a reference to XNA community or anyone who wants to involve in a PC or XBox game development.
