Geek Speak: Game Developement in .NET?

  • Article

If you have always wanted to write a game, and you are not a C/C++ guru and you just love .NET well you have come to the right place.  It is very easy to get started writting your first game. “Did he just say EASY?”, yes, I did.  https://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/ is where you can get the latest DirectX SDK.  It supports managed code, VB.NET or C#. 

A great way to get started is by viewing the webcasts that DigiPen have just completed over the last few weeks.

https://www.microsoft.com/events/series/msdnvideodev.mspx — OnDemand WebCast
https://www.digipen.edu/webcast/ — Location of C# code and PDF’s

So, to get started you need to have either VS 2005 or C# Express.

Have fun and good luck!

    Yes, it is easy to start writing games in .NET. Of course, like any development project, actually finishing your product is the hard part.
