  5. What are you looking for? • Curious? • Sounds interesting, what’s up? • Evaluate potential for work use? • Heard about this, can I use it at work/class? • What do you do? • Self-interest • Can I develop some cool stuff when I have nothing to do at home? • Nothing else to do • seems like a good place to waste a Wednesday night?

  6. A word about us … • Our backgrounds • Apology … • I an ESL Alien! SORRY! • Flexible … • Feedback, let me know! • SLOW ME DOWN!!! • Schedule is flexible!

  7. This Workshop is about … • Up and running with XNA • Developing simple 2D Applications with XNA • If Graphics/GUI background • Humor me, and tell me what you think • If no Graphics/GUI background • Review MVC framework and • Start programming “pseudo games” in hours • General goal • Game-themed application is EASY(XNA or otherwise)

  8. Today … • Objectives: • Develop simple block breaker game • Examine existing game-themed materials • Learn approaches to design game-themed materials • Feedback … Let me know! • Participate • This is meant to be FUN! 
