1) Sorry, I don't. I know my explanation was a bit confusing, but once you understand what I'm suggesting, the code is actually very simple. Only a few lines. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll help out if I can. 2) Are you asking about the grass, tree, and cat textures? Content Processors can ask the Content Pipeline to build ...

Michael Söderman:And to hijack the thread: are there any good articles on how to use the CLR Profiler 2.0? I've found a few but they are mostly very theoretical and I would like to see some practical examples / instructions. It would also be nice with an XNA article on this because when I start to profile my little test application I get alot of ...

What if you sort all the particles, and then draw them all at once, in the same draw call?Cool looking particles, btw.

Fanboy Junior: I hope don't find many differences from VS2005 to VS2008, if VS2008 keeps closer to VS2005 than that shall be a sweet task to handle.  I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. 2008 should be very familiar to you if you're used to 2005.

Tinibou:So I have the following classes :XXXXXXContentXXXWriter : ContentTypeWriter<XXXContent>XXXReader : ContentTypeReader<XXX>Does it seem correct for you ?Looks right to me. Tinibou:You also said that ''if I wanted to use this pattern (...)'' does it mean that this is not the only way to do it (I know that I could sequentially ...

Shawn wrote a really good blog post about this topic. The Game class will do its best to call your update method at 60fps. The only time we can't do this is if the computer that the game is being run on is just too slow to update that quickly. In our samples, we don't typically do time based movement; which makes the code more readable. I think if ...

What do your ContentTypeWriter objects look like for your classes? If you're using the pattern where buildtime/runtime objects are split up, you will need to override the ContentTypeWriter's GetRuntimeType and GetContentReader properties. (iirc, can't remember the names off the top of my head)  These properties tell the content pipeline what ...

Have you looked at the AI Samples on this site? I think they're a good place to start.AI Sample Series #1AI Sample Series #2AI Sample Series #3

Have you looked at the 2D and 3D particle samples? I think it would be pretty simple to modify them to have a simple fire effect.http://creators.xna.com/Headlines/developmentaspx/archive/2007/01/01/Particle-Sample.aspxhttp://creators.xna.com/Headlines/developmentaspx/archive/2007/01/01/Particle-3D-Sample.aspx

Enums are supported, but we don't do anything special with enums marked as flags, so you won't be able to ''multi-select'' different values. Feel free to file a suggestion on connect if this is important to you. Lists and collections aren't supported either. The full list of supported types is available ...
