• XNA Game Studio 2.0 just released

  Many of you have come to know and love XNA, the programming language for the Xbox and the PC. Since the global launch at Warwich University in December there has been considerable interest in UK Universities and students and academics alike have used XNA and have joined the Creator's Club community. We are currently planning ways to show off all of the great work that has already happened at GameCity October 24-28 and will be in touch soon with the details. In the meantime we are excited to announce the release of XNA Game Studio 2.0 As always, if you have any questions about XNA, teaching resources or our pilot programme then please get in touch Claire Posted Tuesday, August 14, 2007 8:12 AM from UK Academic Team Blog | 0 Comments Filed under: Teaching Resources, XNA, Technology, Academics
