C# Class Library and Unit Testing
-
Here is a tutorial that lets you create a simple class library and then
unit tests of that library
XNA
- You need to download XNA 3.0 - you can get that through your MSDNAA access - it is on the store front
- You need to get a creators club membership. This is FREE (the academic version). You can also get this from the MSDNAA store front - but you can also get it from DreamSpark.
- You will also need an XBOX live account. This is DIFFERENT from the creator's club membership. So, make sure that if you don't already have a membership that you sign up for onehere.
- BTW - in case you haven't noticed, the MSDNAA includes a TON more software than is listed on the store front. There is a drop down box on the front at the top that lets you find all of the products available. There are hundreds (including the expression tools for editing web pages and other cool stuff).
- Setup XNA for Visual Studio is very easy. Simply install Visual Studio 2008 (don't forget to install the service pack 1). Then get XNA (either from your MSDNAA membership or you can also get it here). Run the install program and you are done. If you want to test, you can go into Visual C#->XNA Game Studio and choose to make one of the starter kit games.
How to deploy to our Xbox 360's is here. [NOTE - THIS IS FROM LAST YEAR, WE NEED TO TEST THIS FOR 2008 WHEN THEY ARE UP AND RUNNING AGAIN]
Xbox Controller
- Here
is where you can get the software drivers that let the controller work with
Windows. If you happen to be using 32 bit Windows XP then you can just go here and get it directly.
