To Harris : To declare a variable write Texture2D background; under the default line of SpriteBatch spritebatch;

Great site btw! Three years after you write this, it’s still a huge help for me :)

I have the same problem as James, and I think it’s because of the variable. I can’t figure out how to set a variable for my background.

Have a variable declared for it:

Texture2D background;

This is the part I don’t understand how to do.

When I tried to do this lesson, it gave me an error that said “Error 1: The name ‘background’ does not exist in the current context.”, and I can’t figure out how to fix it. Any advice on how to fix that?

Greaaaat tutorials!
Most tutorials on the web indeed jump too far too quick to my taste – I like to feel im grasping everything that is going on. But I have to agree with Robert, same level 3D tutorials are impossible to find :( So publishing a few of those would be extremly helpful.

Thanx a again :D

Thank you for your feedback!

So far my plans are to cater for people that have never done any game development at all. As I was learning, and still am, a lot of the basics were not fully covered. There were always gaps that frustrated me. I hope to cover that stuff as I move on to the more advanced stuff.

I really do appreciate the feedback though! For now, I leave the advanced stuff to the insanely capable hands of Shawn Hargreaves :)

Hi Nazeeh,

Thank you for creating a new resource for XNA development. I am not sure what your plans are but I would like to suggest that you begin creating some more advanced articles. It seems that everyone who writes about XNA wants to cover the most basic aspects. 2D textures have been covered to death. How about some fundamentals of 3D or engine design?

That would keep me coming back to your site.
