Begin Game Programming

This blog is aiming to become a followable course in game programming broken up into manageable segments.

The first segment will be the development of a 2D game using Visual C# 2008 Express and XNA Game Studio 3.0.

I’m a professional games programmer with several years experience and numerous published titles on my CV.  Hopefully I can pass some of my knowledge on to future employees of the games industry.

The link below will take you to the main blog page where you can go through the posts in order to follow the tutorials or you can find specific tutorials using the links in the sidebar on the right hand side of the page. If you’re an absolute beginner then you can follow the getting started link below which will walk you thorugh getting the software you will be using during this course.

Good luck with your quest to become a game developer.
