I just discovered some new XNA 4.0 samples for the Windows Phone 7.

The sample is pretty easy to understand and seems to be simple to reuse on your own project. The screenshot above is from the TouchThumbsticks sample.

See all the samples here.

Orientation and Rotation

One of the new features in the XNA 4.0 for Windows Phone 7, is the ability to rotate a game without you having to code it up your self. Looks pretty cool, haven’t tried it out yet though.

- Enjoy!

Due to some busy weeks at work the next few weeks I need to stop my “2 week” blog posts, which normally gives a little update about how the game are doing. As I know I will get very busy in the coming weeks at my job, I know I wouldn’t have time to code on Little Longhorn, which means I wouldn’t have anything to write about :)

Stay tuned as we can hopefully show some of the graphics for the game when we get back, as the graphic guys are doing a great job currently. So let’s see what Mikkel Laumann and Thomas Jørgensen comes up with.

Another 14 days have gone and we are making progress. Maybe not as fast as we would like, but still - things are moving forward.

Read this post to get up to date with the development of the XNA/Silverlight game Little Longhorn.

In my last post I stated that I would start blogging about the game every two weeks. This means that I should have been blogging yesterday. Sadly I didn’t had time, so here I am one day too late.

So, what have we been up to?
