Re: [Competition] Learning Windows 8 Game Development

For me, chapter 2 looks interesting. I'm specifically interested in 2d game development. I'm very interested in how I can use DirectXTK to help create my first simple game!

Just started making my own game for school so Chapter 4 is probably the most interesting for me. Chapter 7 looks interesting as well if i want to add multiplayer support.

All seem interesting, but for me, Chapter 7 seems to be the most interesting. Adding multiplayer can be a great addition to a game and can be very hard to implement, but it seems that chapter really covers it.

Both Chapter 2 and 3 pique my interest. I'm unfamiliar with DirectXTK and am curious to learn about it. And Chapter 3 sounds comprehensive with covering pointers, keyboard and controller input. Thanks for having this contest!

All chapters are great but chapter 4 about gameplay is most interesting for me as I am newbie in game development.

As a former XNA developer, the DirectX intro in Chapeter 1 is interesting to me.

Re: Adding the Pipeline back to the MonoGame Content Pipeline

Thanks for helpful post, but I think 'DestinationFiles' in 'Copy' task is a little bit wrong. In my case, only after inserting '\$(OutputPath)' after '$(ProjectDir)', *.xmb files are copied well to bin\WindowsGL\Debug\Content. Does this problem only happen to me??

Yeah, the build system doesn't detect any of the code as changed, and so it doesn't actually run a build, that's why the BeforeBuild target doesn't run. When I can get some free time I want to look into ways to move this out of the BeforeBuild target and into the main build target.

Konaju Games — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:43:23 -0000

I appear to have found one gotcha with this approach. If no code changed in the main game project, the BeforeBuild target is never run and therefore any changes to content are not built. So if you are tweaking game data only and not making any code changes, your data changes are not being built.

The timing on this post could not be any better - I was literally about to start investigating achieving something exactly like this without the need for VS2010. Now I will just need to follow this guide - thanks!!!!!!

Here is the code I am currently using. I'm having my own issues with retrieving stuff from Instapaper so it may be connected to what you're seeing. I can't look into it until late next week unfortunately. https://gist.github.com/aed...

HI, i trying too use this API, but like Benecore said, I get message "oauth_signature does not match"

I test my "signature encoder" with a sample value of twitter and i have the same signature.

I suspect an error in Http request, do you have any idea to solve problem?

Thanks for the write-up. I've verified my code against your recommendations as well as other sources but I'm still coming up short unfortunately. If you could post/email your code it would be appreciated.

Have you got all of the parameters listed in the example? You need to make sure you only have those in there, and that their order is the same (alphabetical order) between what you send through, and what you sign. You also need to make sure that the casing you use is the same.

I can provide a C# sample if you haven't resolved it already, I'll just need a little time to clean it up.

Hi, I trying use xAuth with instapper, but i still get message "oauth_signature does not match expected value" all parameters has been sorted like on this post. Any idea

Chr0n1x — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 10:52:35 -0000

I didn't know about this library when I wrote the article, also from what I can see it doesn't support xAuth directly. It could be possible to try and use parts of it to get xAuth working but it looks like that could also be difficult.

Re: xAuth in Instapaper

Sam Naseri — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 10:44:31 -0000

I am just curious to know if xAuth is supported by DotNetOpenAuth or not? If is supported, then why you simply did not use that library?

Michael, great work on ScriptTD, I have some students who used it for the Imagine Cup and have a video on it (hopefully they haven't marked it private) here:
