Devdays 2010 Windows Phone Game Development Talk.

Here is the content from my session. Thanks for being a great audience. This is actually the content from my TechDays 2010 Portugal session. I, ahem, overwrote the text in the original post. Sorry about that.

• Slide Deck
• Demo1: DamageCalc Silverlight Application
• Demo2: PatternMatch Silverlight Game
• Demo3a: StarLight XNA Game using XNA Accelerometer Emulation 
• Demo03b: Windows XNA “Game” Serving Gamepad accelerometer
• Demo04: WP7 Phone XNA Multi-touch Piano
• Demo05: WP7 XNA 3D Triangle Drawing
• Demo06: WP7 XNA Particle System

The code works on the current version of the CTP for the Windows Phone system. You can download this from here. If you want to use demo 3B to serve out accelerometer information to your phone app make sure that the program is running with Administrator privileges, and that you have modified the URL in the Phone Starlight program to address this host (localhost should just work).

If you want to get started with Windows Phone you can find a list of useful lines (and some FAQ entries) here.

Shame the developer tools don' work with XP. I guess it's time to upgrade the old netbook.

Using the CTP, is it only possible to activate the Accelerometers by using the Thumbstick input (of Left with X, Y and Right with Z), or am I just being stupid?

Second thoughts, don't answer that ;)

I can't wait to develop Apps for the Windows Phone!

Really enjoyed your talk yesterday at DevDays in The Hague (NL), you're awesome. Thanks.

As I forgot to clap a couple of time, some more praise through this site. Marvellous demo and contrary to some other sessions interresting and entertaining at the same time. Thanks for making my DevDays a fun experience!

Im no dev guy but Im a geek at heart ... share the vids!

[Simone]

Thanx for the fun yesterday! Enjoyed your demos. Hope to see you again next time. DevDays needs these kind of sessions! Coding is fun! And again many thanks for getting xna on our phones ;-)

I really like the XNA Accelerometer Server. I just would suggest some minor tweaks so that it work even outside the US.
Just add CultureInfo.InvariantCulture to game.AccelX.ToString() ... as well as to the float.Parse calls in the StarLightGame ...
