Sounds fairly straight-forward. I'll try it out. Thanks.

I'd like to be able to put a viewable screen that shows a camera's view within my game. For example, back in the Duke Nukem days you could look at some TV's and see what's going on in a different area. I know how to setup a camera and create a view matrix. I just don't know how I would put it into the game as a 2d ...

MrLeebo, Thank you for the quick reply. That fixed it. Thanks.

I've been working on a little 3D graphics system. The way that I draw my 3D models is by calling a draw() function from within a GameObject class I made. For some reason whenever my objects draw, something doesn't look right. You can see through some sides and they don't seem to look right from a human perspective (projection ...

Thanks Shawn. Well I am loading the model using the Content.Load<Model>("modelName") line from within the content loader function. I'm sure on what the texture format is. Basically it's whatever the models in the Spacewars (example game that comes with XNA) uses. As far as the processor properties, it's all set ...

I can load models without textures just fine. However when I try to use a model with textures, I get the following exception ...

Thanks for the help from everyone. I think I am actually going try each of your ideas and see which works the best. At the very least it will be a great learning experience.  I am a little confused about the "'contactPointToballCenter" that Steve mentioned. Would this just describe the distance from the center of the ball to ...

For my own personal, educational purposes, I have been working on a very simple 2D game "engine" if you will. I wouldn't call it an engine as much as I would call it a toy or just messing around with code. Anyways, I have created a program that sort of mocks the physics when dealing with balls. Each ball is a game object (my own ...

I've been looking around for a couple of hours now and can't seem to figure this one out. Does anyone know the system requirements for games compiled in XNA to be played on the PC? The specifics I am looking for include Windows versions, .net requirements, directx, etc... Thank you.
