A few weeks in development, but it is finally here! The first complete game tutorial for XNA. The game covered here is Paddles, a Pong clone. I brought this tutorial from 110 pages to around 55 (thats what took so long :P) Im also a perfectionist, wanted to make sure it was very good quality...

C# provides several mechanisms for flow control in a program. The loops in C# allow you to execute a block of code repeatedly, until a certain condition is met. This condition can be the number of repetition, a variable taking a specified value or something completely different...

Functions are a must for modern object oriented programming and for visual programs as well. When you click a button on your mouse an event is generated. This event fires a function that is linked to that particular event...

A significant advantage of C# when compared to C++ is the memory management capabilities of the C#. The programmer need not worry about memory management; the garbage collector is assigned this operation on the programmer’s behalf...

The if statement is a so-called conditional statement. It allows you to branch your code depending on whether certain conditions are met or not. C# has two such conditional statements, the if statement and the switch statement...

Reference types provide excellent flexibility and performance of large structures. This is the reason that classes are reference types and structs are data value types...

C# distinguishes between two (2) different data types categories: value and reference types. Value data types directly store their value while reference data types store a reference to their value....

The string class is designed specifically for storing and manipulating strings. Some operations of this class include conversion to lower or uppercase, removal of leading and trailing whitespace, replacing characters, comparing two strings and more...

The switch statement offers the programmer the capability to choose a specific block of code from a set of mutually exclusive ones. It is similar but not identical to the if statement. The block of code that will be chosen is not known before the execution of the program...
