Good luck developing networked games! On another note, I've set up XNA Arcade, a site that will hopefully enable gamers to enjoy XNA games quickly and easily. A few months ago, Kyle Schouviller wrote an XNA Arcade application and he put out a call for trackers/games to help make this thing work. Since then, nobody has come out with a site to fill this niche, so I had some free time the other day and put together a quick site/tracker to help out. I've always thought it was a good idea, and I felt like playing around with Drupal a little bit. So check it out, submit your games, and spread the word.]]> http://www.xnamatrix.com/blog/2007/12/xna_20.html http://www.xnamatrix.com/blog/2007/12/xna_20.html Release Website release xnari Sat, 15 Dec 2007 01:36:52 -0800 XNA requirements to check for and install .NET 2.0, along with some other little fixes.
