Hey all,
first time nervous poster so please bare with me if I am way off with my post, apologies in advance.
I am new to computer programming, I have always had an interest however as an avid games player, the playing aspect has always prevented me from actually giving coding a go. Age isn't on my side now so learning isn't as easy as perhaps it would have been 30 years ago and I am hoping my brain works in FIFO mode to accommodate some of this coding knowledge.
OK so why am I here and posting, I am after some feedback on a project I have put together, I assume this is very basic but I need to know if I am going in the "right direction". The end result in not to produce any form of a game but to attempt to understand basis game development and just have fun.
I attach my complete project (VS 2010), this may be useful to other new XNA programmers to compare their direction to the direction I have gone, this is about 3/4 months of work(any spare time I had), starting from absolute ZERO knowledge of computer programming, expect for the days of which I used to copy computer Basis language out of Sinclair Spectrum mags in the early 80's.
I have great difficulty reading, always have done my entire life, picking up a book and reading doesn't work, I can simply read a whole sentence and then at the end of it cannot remember what it was that I actually read so most of what I have learned here are from other examples and video tutorials.
Site didn't seem to want to allow my project to be attached(could be because of first time poster?) so Link below.
