• Generic XNA - Threading for Windows & XBox 360

  OK, I went back to my old threading code to port it to the 360 so I could start playing about with processor affinity (as promised last time) and found the compact framework for the 360 was a bit thin on the ground for parameterized threading, so I have...

• A visible collection of particles of water or ice suspended in the air, usually at an elevation above the earth's surface in XNA

  Well if I had just put, "Another Cloud Clip!" you would not have looked at this post. Anyway, her is some more of the same, but not quite the same, well, almost the same. In this clip I show multiple cloud layers each with differing tones of... Posted Aug 08 2008, 12:30 PM by Nemo Krad with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: Generic XNA, Clouds, XNA 2.0

  http://www.youtube.com/v/P-Nw4CANeBc http://www.youtube.com/v/P-Nw4CANeBc So, here is the system (still not finished) with the skysphere and my infantile physics system. Again footage taken on my poop laptop so bit slow, but on my 360 it's a steady...

• Speech in you Windows XNA Games

  I found this while messing about with the media player in XNA, just noticed there is some legacy code in the download from it :( Anyway, how to get speech into your games, it's dead easy really, you just need to have .NET Framework 3.0 and you have...

  http://www.youtube.com/v/khntLU3v_-s http://www.youtube.com/v/khntLU3v_-s Well I have kind of been letting this code sit for a while, not looked at it as of late, then this week decided to have another play with it, kind of hoping I can put it to bed...

• Generic XNA - Threading for Windows

  Well I have done some basic threading in my job, basic stuff and thought I would try and put the basic threading I have done into an XNA Game Component. I am not saying this is how you should do your threading, my method is certainly not the only way...

• Generic XNA - Movies in your Windows games

  Well, I started looking into this after a friend of mine asked if it could be done. I remembered the other week on Ziggyware that someone got a web cam to stream in an XNA app and so thought that the principle should be the same, taking the output, rendering...

  http://www.youtube.com/v/F8ImehSQ_ow http://www.youtube.com/v/F8ImehSQ_ow So I have started work on a simple physics engine. I intend to have it serve both 2D and 3D development. I guess it wont have all the lovely bits and bobs that engines like BulletX...

It's not perfect, but as it stands at the moment, will give you 2D flames. When played with the 3D flames...

• SkyBox Shader Fix

  I have found my skybox shader has a bug in it, the shader displays the cubemap as a reflection, the following shader code will give a better result. So, if you have used my skybox sample then replace the shader with this code: Texture surfaceTexture;...

• Generic XNA - Fire

  Yes, I have been playing with fire! I have had this flame shader by NVIDIA (from the SDK) for ages now. I tried to implement in my olf RC3D Engine but it was a poor attempt and was of no real use to anyone, but I think I may have the beginnings of a decent...
