Say Hello to XNA!

XNA basically is a new API developed by Microsoft for developing games. It is an extremely easy to learn and use and friendly :)

There are a lot of online resources, tutorials available, anyone can learn it. BTW, learning XNA give you another benefit which is you can easily just port your game to XBOX in 1 or 2 seconds! COOL, right? In addition, with the latest XNA 4.0, now you can even develop game for Windows Phone 7! It is a nice phone and I believe it has a lot of potential for game development!

Well enough of talk, this is what I did after 2 days of learning XNA. A very simple game, all you need to do is control your character moving around and try to avoid as many obstacles as you can!
