  4. Why are there 2 types of libraries?

  5. Because • A windows game library uses the full .NET Framework • A Xbox 360 game library uses the compact framework • http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2weec7k5.aspx

  6. What that means to us… • The compact framework has about 30% of the functionality of the .NET framework • You can do less with Xbox games than you can with Windows games • So as you decide which platform to use you have to take this into consideration.

  7. Also… • An Xbox game can be released through community games (have to be a premier member with a gold Xbox live membership) • An Xbox game released through community games cannot be pirated • A Windows game can be released through STEAM or you can sell it on your own website as a download, etc • http://store.steampowered.com/ • A Windows game can be pirated

  8. So you have 2 decisions to make • Before you start coding and developing • What technology do I use? • How do I want to release my game? • These questions are related.
