 This tutorial walks through step by step using a color key to do path collision. The example used is for a super sprint style track, but the code could be used for a variety of projects. By the end of the tutorial, the reader should be familiar with moving and rotating a sprite, using GetData() to get pixel information and have an introductory understanding of RenderTarget2D objects and how they can be used.

 This is a game demo with full source that showcases a 2D motion blur technique. In this game, you play as the Cop and must catch all the Robbers before times runs out. The game is a good example of exploring some different game architecture techniques. It also gives examples of rotating images, playing sounds, accepting both keyboard and gamepad input and some 2D animation. It also has one snazzy title screen!

 A little game I developed over the weekend to help demonstrate some simple 2D game development concepts like character animation, jumping in an arc, background music, triggering soundfx, game state and creating title and instruction screens. More importantly, I created the game to help raise awareness for Scott Hanselman's fund raising to help fight diabetes. So take a look a the game and take some time to make a donation for the fight!

 A sample game I used to present 2D game development at the Portland Code Camp 3.0. This game introduces basic 2D game development concepts like keyboard input, using game time, loading textures, moving sprites on the screen and scrolling a background vertically as well as simple game state and object re-use.

 A sample game developed to show the basics of making one of the recommended "starter" games. This sample covers gamepad input, simple gamestate management and sprite movement and collision. The source doe is available to give new game developers some more entry level games to look over as they continue to learn the ins and outs of game development with XNA Game Studio.
