is ther a programe i need to instal first ?

[ericc59]

If you are going to program in XNA you will first need to install Microsoft Visual C# Express which you can find here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualcsharp/
After you install that, you will then need to install Game Studio Express v1.0 which you can find here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A73A7E71-FF41-432D-A0EB-043E904A1905&displaylang=en
After you install that, you will then need to install the XNA Framework v1.0 which you can find here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2E136A1F-F187-478C-9DA5-AAEB0904782B&displaylang=en

Now you should be set.  Find the XNA Game Studio Express Icon (it will look like the Visual C# Express Icon.. the white box with a green border and a green "C#" inside it)  and click on that to open the program.  You can now start programming.  Create a new project and select "Windows Game" from the list of templates.  Or choose "Windows Game Library" to create a library of classes for use in a game engine (this is how Mike does it in the XNA tutorials).

Unless of course you don't want to do any XNA stuff then you can settle for any of the C# compilers (Express is best as it is free) and the Direct X SDK. I presume you want to do this as you have posted here in the Hazy Mind 3D Engine board rather than the Hazy Mind XNA Engine board.

If not I'll just have to move the post

hey i got vs 2005 from my school will that work fore a compiler

[Nemo Krad]

what version of 2005 is it?

If you want to write anything using the XNA framework then you should use C# 2005 Express. Personally I prefer C# 2005 Professional as it's what I use every day and it is a little bit more robust than Express, but Express is free so you cant complain

So, in short, if you want to do and development using the XNA framework then you best use C# 2005 Express, if you just want to write MDX stuff without the XNA framework then you can use any C# compiler.
