How to learn XNA and TorqueX the easy way

Alienforce — 2007-12-17T23:44:07+00:00

Background:
Would it not be great to use "spare time" for learning? Like in your car, on the beach, groceries shopping or anywhere, anytime you have some time over??
Not have to be online, not to have to carry around books or printouts to read; instead you just have to listen.

Concept:
Collecting resources, written tutorials etc.. and transfer it to a portable media in audio format.
Making the material available in these formats.

Audio versions for downloading to iPods, cell phones, etc
Video versions for portable media players
Online versions for easy access

And making the content available to the GG community for FREE as an educational resource.

There are both commercial and free video tutorials available on the net that really sucks when it comes to audio quality and performance. The goal is to make this project 100% professional quality with a low production timeframe.

WIP:
Audio demos Done!
Video demos Pending!
Collecting resources In progress!

Questions:

Are there any interests for this concept?
(if not I don't want to spend my time making this public)

Have you got any good XNA tutorials that would fit in this project?
(I WILL NOT CONVERT ANY COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL!)

Response from GG would be appreciated regarding any legal issue!

Any other suggestions?

Please feel free to check out the audio demos.

Hi All,

I have done a "alpha" port of Starter.Fps and Starter.Racing from TGE 1.4.2 to TGEA ms4.2
This is plain port without any TGEA eyecandy features but i think it can be a good starting template
anyways i thought i should share it and please post any issues you might find in the download thread and
i will look into it.
