XNA Game Engine re-write in progress

Microsoft have recently released version 3.1 of the XNA framework.

 
This has introduced more networking and XBOX related materials (such as Avatars). One very interesting new feature is the ability to play and control WMV video.

 
I have played with this and it sort of works, so I will add the ability to the game engine.

 
I am re-writing the game engine from scratch and it should be available after half term.

 
I'll keep posting updates in terms of progress here.

 
Your setup at home needs to be:
  1. Visual Studio 2008 professional
  2. XNA Game studio 3.1 (which you can get from here)

 Warning if you have game studio 3.0 already installed you must uninstall that before installing 3.1
