Run my program

Click here to download a zip file containing my version of the program. Extract the folder named XNA0124Proj from the zip file and save it somewhere on your disk. Start Visual C# 2010 Express and select Open Project... from the File menu. Navigate to that folder and select the file with the extension of .sln . This should cause the project to open and be ready to run or debug as described in the earlier module titled Getting Started .

Summary

You learned about the following major topics in this module:

  • How to display a sprite in front of a background image.
  • The difference between the position and origin parameters of the SpriteBatch.Draw method.
  • How to cause the background image to change at runtime.
  • How to deal with and use color key transparency.

Miscellaneous

This section contains a variety of miscellaneous information.

Complete program listing

A complete listing of the XNA program discussed in this module is provided in Listing 11 . Note the changes that were made in the calls to the SpriteBatch.Begin method to upgrade the program from XNA 3.1 to XNA 4.0. Blending was turned offin the first call just in case there were pixels in the background image having a color that matches the key color value.

Listing 11 . The class named Game1 for the project named XNA0124Proj.

How bacteria create energy to survive?
Muhamad Reply
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments

explain assimilatory nitrate reduction
Esinniobiwa Reply
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
