[Discontinued] XNA Framework Game Creation made easier - Barret - Sep 23, 2017


A work in progress, XNA framework for making an easy approach for game development.

[Image: WHR74XO.gif]

For now i'm writing all the basic building blocks (game objects) from scratch that become the core elements.


Github: -removed-

Suggestions welcome :)

According to Wikipedia, XNA is discontinued? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_XNA

Github link added, currently doing the GUI

Good ol' Hackforums, where skidded crypters are praised and stuff like this gets no attention.

Convert to MonoGame. XNA is discontinued.

Sure is, but since when is "discontinued" a new name for "dont use" ???

I asked for suggestions, not these silly and useless replies.

Do you still use Windows XP? That's also discontinued.
That comment you just made instantly made me want to avoid you and makes you look ridiculous. At least use Unity instead.

XNA is not considered a viable framework for developing games. If you really want me to give you reasons:
  • Vulkan support?

  • DirectX 12 support? No lol. Locked to an outdated DirectX 9 (LOL, way to go back in time)

  • Very, very poor Windows 10 support (basically non-existant)

  • NO one, and I mean NO one is going to hire you for your XNA knowledge except for the developer of Fez but who cares about him anyway.

  • NO one, and I mean NO reasonable developer will USE what you're making because XNA is no longer being USED! This has no economical or real life value, at all.



But I mean, sure. Go back to the good old days if that's what you want and need. LOL. Maybe, just maybe this had some kind of use back in 2012. Honestly why do I even have to write this all out to such an 'advanced' programmer like yourself 😧 🤣?

If you cannot live with a viable suggestion to NOT use something that's fucking old and for reasons mentioned above, I wish you all the best but I want nothing to do with that. It's a suggestion. Deal with it. Do what you want, either way I don't care. Could it be that maybe you're the physical manifestation of The Way Back Machine?

Wait, how does this help fud/hack/encrypt/watch porn? Useless stuff.

All jokes aside, you create the most interesting projects around this section IMO.
Hope you expand it enough to have a user base. More users, more ideas, better project.

Good luck!

  • Barret makes these for a hobby only. He has no intention of making money or getting a good job/resume off it.

Brighten up a bit, eh?
I still use Mono.Cecil 0.9.4 (heavily modded mind you).
I see no reason to update, my shit still kicks ass.

Not everyone programs for the same reason. To make money, or because it's a trend. Discontinued doesn't mean it wasn't the best thing around at some point.

In fact, some of the oldest programming languages have been around since the beginning of what we do now, like C. For you to come down and judge so hard on what this man is doing with his free time is awfully selfish and totally Nazi. I had to capitalize Nazi. How about fuck off and don't be Hitler and let the man type into his IDE. Who gives if he makes money with it or not?

This analogy is incorrect though, since C still very much serves a purpose. So do other old languages like Cobol. But since XNA is discontinued it won't get updates, and people will probably switch to newer or 'better' frameworks so its good to follow the trend.

Thank you Ninja for having common sense. Why would you want to be stuck to DX9 anyway. I don't see the logic in that. Not even for hobby projects. But whatever, it's his project. I'm done messing around here. He knows, I know, we all know.

Ps. People have been switching over to other frameworks since 2013. It's almost 2018 now and guess what, Unity seems to be the clear winner in terms of alternative frameworks.

But like I said before. I'm all for best practices and will continue making suggestions on said basis. If that's not too your liking that's fine by me but at least I did my due diligence. I honesty don't know what's wrong with people around here who can't seem to cope with proper suggestions and they're all like oh I'm just gonna do it my way anyway..
