How do I publish an XNA project? I want to be able to send it in an eMail.

How do I publish / distribute either on a CD or for an eMail an XNA Windows game? I've tried things but they don't work... Like MSDN. I DO know that you can't use the regualr IDE options, but that's it. Please help.

OK: never mind; I figured it out, fianlly. Thanks for helping, though. The problem was that the Y value kept checking after a certain limit was supposed to be. I added 1 line and it was fixed.

I have this code so far on checking collision. It doesn't quite work. if (Velocity.Y > 0) { for (int n = 0; n < 25; ++n) { if (Position.Y + Sprite.Height > grassTopBlock[n].Position.Y && Position.Y < grassTopBlock[n].Position.Y + grassTopBlock[n].Sprite.Height) { if (Position.X + Sprite.Width > grassTopBlock[n].Position.X && Position.X < grassTopBlock[n].Position.X + grassTopBlock[n].Sprite.Width) { Position.Y = grassTopBlock[n].Position.Y - Sprite.Height; } } } } /// FIX ME! ( i wrote his for myself before I got off last night) if (Velocity.X < 0) { for (int n = 0; n < 25; ++n) { if (Position.Y + Sprite.Height > grassTopBlock[n].Position.Y && Position.Y < grassTopBlock[n].Position.Y + grassTopBlock[n].Sprite.Height) { if (Position.X < grassTopBlock[n].Position.X + grassTopBlock[n].Sprite.Width && Position.X + Sprite.Width > grassTopBlock[n].Position.X + grassTopBlock[n].Sprite.Width) { Position.X = grassTopBlock[n].Position.X + grassTopBlock[n].Sprite.Width; } } } } What the problem is, I can never tell if the second statement acts, because every time I try, the sprite moves to the top of the grassTopBlock. Can anyone post (or help?) with some collision algorithm for 2D sprites? thanks

XNA just adds certain specific things easier for beginners. (Game loop, draw loop, simpler things) It could help, and I might have seen it a long time ago... so maybe not... Btw: I switched the design to tiles.... I've almost got it but ONE part doesn't work. What exactly is the algorithm for collision. I set it up to find if the velocity.X / Y is smaller / bigger (based on input) and from there updated certain parts for positions, but it doesn't seem to work right. (The player ends up on top of the platform as they fall....)

I don't know how to make collisions work for a game I'm currently making. I have an image (800 / 600) and a person. I'm not going to make any tile classes for the level (at least yet...), but I can't seem to get the person to 'work' with this. They fall through places and such, and sometimes when there's cliff, move straight to the top of it when moved that direction. I have a physics engine I could utilize, but I heard it isn't great for platformers. (To help understand my issue, I want something along the lines of the game "Braid") If anyone could give *** *** *** ANY *** *** *** insight or help, please do. Even if it's a different design idea (such as tiles). (And please don't bring XNA's Torque level building whatever into this) I hope I explained my issue well, but if there are any questions about the dilemma, please ask. PLEASE help if you can. Thanks many in advance.

Well; I just got it. I messed the name up, and it let me remove. Thanks for the help, even though it's STILL over my head.

I just erased everything under it's file, and I try to open it and it STILL lets me open it, but it's unavailable. How do I get rid of it? Step by step instructions, please? THanks for your help, though.

Can you explain regedit? (I'm sorry, I'm still a beginner... Haven't done too much for a long time for real, anyway... And I've never really messed around with internal C# stuff) Where can it be found?

This project isn't in the "Projects" folder. And I can't open (not that I want to) the one I can;t get rid of. How long does a project usually stay in the list?

Thanks! Will this work for 05'? (Visual C# 2005 Express) Also, where do I enter this path in? My documents seems epty for this...

Is there a way to clean the recently used projects list. If so, please explain. It kind of irritates me to have hem on there, as in when I try a downloaded sample, they never work and end up on the list. I know you can just wait it out, but I want the list clean, so help would be appreciated. Thanks.

OK, thanks, Luc!

Does GDI and such apply fo XNA? And thank you for your reply, even if I have some trouble with it. Another Possible Way?: Is there a way to check collisions with all of the StaticBlocks with a for loop with good performance results? I tried something like this, but the framerate dipped to around 10...

Oh sorry, XNA.

I'm currently making a game (as always) and can't seem to make a Projectile class work right. Can someone just explain the concept of it. I really just don't understand how you get a sprite from the class. (?)

How do I calculate the FPS of an app? I've looked to some articles and what I find always gets me an "Infinite" FPS. EVEN with nearly 50 sprites and I know it's not infinite. Thanks in advance.
