Xbox LIVE Hub

Xbox LIVE is Gaming Services Gamertag Friends Achievements Windows Phone will extend the Xbox LIVE brand beyond the console for the first time Merchandising Premium Placement Windows Phone is the first step towards our vision of a ubiquitous gaming service Differentiates your title from the rest

Leveraging the Right Technology Graphics For 3D graphics your only choice is the XNA Framework Game Loop Sprite heavy 2D applications should consider the XNA Framework Game Loop Simulation/Drawing Those who prefer a traditional update/draw/present frame loop should leverage the XNA Framework Game Loop Tooling Those who want to leverage the XNA Framework Content Pipeline graphics types

XNA Game Studio 4.0 Develop games for Windows Phone 7 Series Enhanced audio support Simplified graphics API’s Visual Studio 2010 integration New configurable effects

Powerful

Managed Code for Game Development Windows Phone 7 Series Uses the .NET platform Managed code platform, no unsafe code .NET/XNA is used for games today! XNA Game Studio 4.0 is C# exclusive 800+ managed code games on XBLA/XBLIG Windows games published through portals

Addressing Performance Head-on Frameworks designed for performance Frameworks designed for performance Frameworks designed for performance Frameworks designed for performance XNA Framework designed for gaming scenarios Commitment to future of managed code No unnecessary garbage generation Three+ years of profiling and investment We’ve built for performance on Windows Phone 7 Series Math libraries optimized Efficient APIs with tuned transitions to native code

demo Exercising the platform…

Productive

Visual Studio & .NET Productive development with .NET & C# High performance IDE Intellisense makes coding faster Integrated build/deploy/debug experience MSBuild engine for build automation

Content Pipeline Simplify Your Content Usage! Manage assets in Visual Studio Importers for common game data formats Optimize data into binary format for efficient loading Fully extensible XNA Framework/Game Loop not required Content projects external in XNA Game Studio 4.0

XNA Framework Simplifying Game Development

XNA Framework Game Loop Start Simple and Customize! XNA Framework Game Loop Example protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime) { // Allows the game to exit if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Buttons.Back == ButtonState.Pressed) this.Exit(); // TODO: Add your update logic here base.Update(gameTime); } protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime) GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.CornflowerBlue); // TODO: Add your drawing code here base.Draw(gameTime); Traditional update/draw/present frame loop Core programming model consistent with previous releases Changes implemented yield better power performance on devices System integration with Windows Phone 7 Series best practices Translated to existing XNA Framework concepts

Graphics Let’s Get Visual, Visual!

Five Configurable Effects BasicEffect DualTextureEffect AlphaTestEffect SkinnedEffect EnvironmentMapEffect Plus hardware accelerated 2D sprite drawing

EnvironmentMapEffect BasicEffect BasicEffect DualTextureEffect AlphaTestEffect SkinnedEffect EnvironmentMapEffect 0-3 directional lights Blinn-Phong shading Optional texture Optional fog Optional vertex color Vertex Cost Pixel Cost No lighting 5 1 One vertex light 40 Three vertex lights 60 Three pixel lights 18 50 + Texture +1 +2 + Fog +4

EnvironmentMapEffect DualTextureEffect BasicEffect DualTextureEffect AlphaTestEffect SkinnedEffect EnvironmentMapEffect For lightmaps, detail textures, decals Blends two textures Separate texture coordinates Modulate 2X combine mode (A*B*2) Good visuals at low pixel cost Vertex Cost Pixel Cost Two Textures 7 6 + Fog +4 +2

EnvironmentMapEffect AlphaTestEffect BasicEffect DualTextureEffect AlphaTestEffect SkinnedEffect EnvironmentMapEffect For billboards and imposters Adds alpha test operations (pixel kill) Standard blending is free with all effects Only need alpha test if you want to disable depth/stencil writes Vertex Cost Pixel Cost <, <=, >=, > 6 ==, != 10 + Fog +4 +2

EnvironmentMapEffect SkinnedEffect BasicEffect DualTextureEffect AlphaTestEffect SkinnedEffect EnvironmentMapEffect For animated models and instancing Game code animates bones on CPU Vertex skinning performed by GPU Up to 72 bones One, two, or four weights per vertex Vertex Cost Pixel Cost One vertex light 55 4 Three vertex lights 75 Three pixel lights 33 51 + Two bones +7 +0 + Four bones +13 + Fog +2

EnvironmentMapEffect BasicEffect DualTextureEffect AlphaTestEffect SkinnedEffect EnvironmentMapEffect Oooh, shiny! Diffuse texture + cube environment map Cheap way to fake many complex lights Fresnel term simulates behavior when light reaches a surface and some reflects, some penetrates Vertex Cost Pixel Cost One light 32 6 Three lights 36 + Fresnel +7 +0 + Specular +2 + Fog

System Support: Scaler & Orientation Write your game without worrying about native resolution or orientation Automatic rotation between portrait and landscape Touch automatically supports both scale and orientation changes Scaler can drastically improve performance Trade off performance for “crispness” & shade fewer pixels 800x480 = 384,000 pixels, 480x320 = 153,600 pixels Upsample an arbitrary back buffer to native device resolution Far higher quality than bilinear filtering Allows for easier porting from other platforms Scaling/Rotation comes for “free” from Hardware

Audio & Media Can You Hear Me Now?

Audio Playback Example Audio Capture Example public void EventDrivenCapture() { mic = Microphone.Default; buffer = new byte[mic.GetSampleSizeInBytes(mic.BufferDuration)]; mic.BufferReady += new EventHandler(OnBufferReady); DynamicPlayback = new DynamicSoundEffectInstance(mic.SampleRate, AudioChannels.Mono); } public void OnBufferReady(object sender, EventArgs args) // Get the latest captured audio. int duration = mic.GetData(buffer); // Do some post-capture processing and playback. MakeMeSoundLikeARobot(buffer, duration); DynamicPlayback.SubmitBuffer(buffer); Audio Capture & Playback Simple API to play back WAV data Modify pitch, volume, pan audio Ability to play synthesized/buffered audio Serialize captured data Provides more control over System.Media types on Windows Phone 7 Series Audio Playback Example // Load a sound effect from a raw stream SoundEffect effect1 = SoundEffect.FromStream( GetStreamFromTheWeb("http://url.wav")); effect1.Play(); // Create dynamic audio on the fly byte[] fluteSound = GetFluteNote(); effect2 = new SoundEffect(fluteSound, SampleRate, AudioChannels.Stereo); SoundEffectInstance instance = effect2.CreateInstance(); instance.Pan = -1; instance.Pitch = 1.5f; instance.Play(); Microphone/Bluetooth Support Playback through headset Capture through mic or headset

Media – Music/Photos/Video URI Song Playback Example Music Enumeration & Playback // Constructs a song from a URI Uri mediaStreamUri = new Uri("http://song.asx"); Song streamedSong = Song.FromUri("Song", mediaStreamUri); // Play the song MediaPlayer.Play(streamedSong); Control and enumerate users’ media within a game Ability to play songs from URI/URL (i.e. music app) Picture Enumeration & Playback Supports photo picking/editing/publishing Retrieve Image Data MediaLibrary media = new MediaLibrary(); // Get the JPEG image data Stream myJpegImage = ReadAndModifyPicture(somePicture); // Save texture to Media Library   media.SavePicture("Awesome", myJpegImage); Video Playback Uses standard video player API Show/Hide controls

Input / Touch Interacting with games gets easier!

Input Overview Cross Platform Input API Touch API Touch Input Handling Xbox 360 Controllers (Xbox/Windows) Keyboard (Xbox/Windows/Windows Phone 7 Series) Touch Input Handling var touchCollection = TouchPanel.GetState(); //... foreach (var touchLocation in touchCollection) { if (touchLocation.State == TouchLocationState.Released) } Touch API Available across platforms for portability (fewer #ifdefs) Multipoint on Windows Phone 7 Series and Windows Orientation and resolution aware Developer can override

Sensors Using Silverlight and the XNA Framework

Accelerometer Example Sensor Overview Leverage Platform Features on Windows Phone 7 Series VibrationExample VibrateController rumbler; rumbler.Start(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2)); Location Accelerometer Vibration Accelerometer Example AccelerometerSensor accelerometer; AccelerometerReading accelerometerReading; accelerometer = AccelerometerSensor.Default; accelerometer.ReadingChanged += AccelerometerReadingChanged; accelerometer.Start();
