Creating XNA Template for phone

Let’s say you want to share your wonderful XNAM game design with others, how do you do that? How do you create a template that others can use.

This process is the same as for the Silverlight template I described yesterday.

So first create a simple Silverlight Windows Phone project (this will work for other projects as well. Make a few changes to it.

Apologies I should have mentioned yesterday that the project template creation is the same for all versions in the Visual Studio. There is the VSIX type of template, which is a little more complex to discuss, but still fairly simple, I won’t go into how to make a VSIX template.

You do not have to unzip the file to use it, simply drop it into the

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\My Exported Templates

(Note the %USERPROFILE% allows you to simply cut and paste the file folder link to your windows explorer.)
