Good XNA Stuff to Cheer You Up

In the midst of hardware despair it is always nice to reflect on the good things in life. Like what Mike Smith has been doing down at the Prospect School in Reading. He has got some of his Year 10 writing XNA. That's 14 year old students writing and running C# games. Wonderful.  By all accounts he has been having great fun, and even made the papers. You can find out even more from Paolo here. The students are even blogging about their experiences here and here.

When we were in Paris we saw some high school students who had entered the embedded challenge and made it to the world finals. I think those folks were 16 or so, which means that you've got a couple of years start......

I'm all cheered up now. I think I'll go to bed.

Thought i might post a few quotes from one of my XNA student's blog:

"The game idea/’s have come from inspiration given from our team and Rob Miles."

...and

"The engine for this all is being developed by me and Jazz based on things we have learned from Rob Mile’s awesome book :D."

Praise indeed :)
