I saw that Brian Scarbeau is looking at using XNA for his high school computer science class this year. Brian is an innovative teacher who is always looking for new ways to teach, new ideas to share and new tools to make computer science interesting. He pointed me to one interesting tutorial that creates an XNA version of Pong. This tutorial uses keyboard keys so you can use it with a regular PC. Now if you have an Xbox 360 controller you may be interested in this link which is a controller test program. The graphics show the controller and respond to events on the controller. Students will love having the code to make the controller vibrate. Well, I did anyway.
I haven't had time to create any of my own code from scratch yet. It's very frustrating because it has mostly been a matter of having too many things on my plate. I'm sure a lot of you can relate to that. But each time I come a cross a sample piece of code or an interesting new tutorial I get more and more motivated. I'm just going to have to make the time. In the mean time, if you do something interesting that you would like to share with other teachers, other people who are learning XNA or just want to show off please let me know. I'm interesting in how others are using XNA Studio Express.
