    I missed this post

    EM right now you and I are looking across a crowded room in spirit

    I'm just making eye contact and giving you a single upward nod as if to say, "Indeed, bro."

    he licks his lips and closes his eyes softly, whispering across the room "i want you."

    EM nods across the room and whispers back "indeed, bro."

    wait none of this was in the version of the script my agent approved

    he said, naively. He forgot to read the fine print. Again.

    the most beautiful song I've ever heard was in a hostel in europe.

    two groups had bumped into each other a little earlier in the main area -- one was portuguese and one was from eastern europe. It so turned out that one person in each group both played guitar and had access to an acoustic guitar.

    So the then-girlfriend and I sat with them at a little table and drank Bombay Sapphire straight while they played songs together. At one point, they started playing Bob Marley's "redemption song," except a very striking Portuguese woman with them began singing another song to the same melody, in Portuguese. She had dark, curly hair and piercing eyes and a sad voice with a kind of distance it. I really can't summarize what it was which made the moment so memorable.

    best song, one of the best nights of my life

    That sounds a little like a couple of parties I've been to back home. Someone long ago translated Marley's works into Maori (I think he toured NZ back in the day and made an impression) and it isn't uncommon for Maori guys to pick up a guitar at the first opportunity that presents itself at a party.

    @Drez it's Riemer's XNA tutorial: http://www.riemers.net/

    @TehSloth I've done some 2D stuff with XNA. It's wonderful because of how simple it makes everything. I had a fully functioning 2D scroller from scratch in less than 12 hours with optional weapons, ammo drops, backgrounds, explosions, physics simulation of smoke trailes, etc.

    @Shivahn I'm using XNA over OpenGL because the little OpenGL I've done was in C++ and in Java and I learned to not like it. I'm not the greatest programmer, so ease of use trumps raw power. C# + XNA is monkey-level complexity (That is, a monkey could write code in C# and XNA), so it's way less frustrating for me.

    I'm guessing the maths/physics stuff isn't immediately applicable to the coding of just representing shapes on screen? I don't think we've actually applied anything done in class to the lectures yet, which is frustrating...

    Fair enough. I'm not the best programmer either but I've got OCD about a lot of things, so I like the ability to optimize and the ability to be ultra-portable (Which OpenGL and SDL in C++ is. You can run that on freaking anything.)

    I was mostly asking just because I'm pretty ignorant about it and wondered what about it is attractive.

    Like, with no prior experience in XNA, I made this is less than 12 hours:
    ScrollerScreenshot.jpg

    The helicopters were randomly placed on the right and if you collided with one, or if one reaches the left side of the screen it's game over. They would gradually spawn more and more often.

    No, it's more basic than that. The basics of 3D graphics is basically just rather advanced and complicated math. Matrices and stuff. You probably only would need to know it if you're helping develop OpenGL or want to understand why what you're doing is happening (which is important).

    But it's not strictly necessary for coding stuff, really.

    Yeah, it depends on how much is abstracted.

    For example, XNA handles all the matrix calculations. You basically place your vertices using x, y, z co-ords and then establish the x, y, z co-ords of your camera, tell it where to look and define the lens that it is looking with.

    The API handles the rest, so matrix math is unnecessary.
