General background information

The earlier module titled Xna0118-The XNA Framework and the Game Class used a very simple XNA program to teach many of the details regarding the incorporation ofthe XNA framework into the object-oriented C# programming language.

Skeleton code

When you create a new Windows Game project using Visual C#, a source code file named Game1.cs is automatically created and opened in the editor window. The file contains skeleton code for a windows gamebased on XNA. Listing 1 shows the skeleton code contained in the file named Game1 (with most of the comments deleted for brevity).
