One contains a board, ov...

The subject speaks for itself. Does XNA effectively replace Managed DirectX? We have a few projects using managed DirectX in VB.NET. I was considering porting one over to XNA, but wonder whether it's worth the effort. Thanks in advance for your time. ...
In DirectX it is possible to set the D3DXSPRITE parameters to be a combination of both: D3DXSPRITE_SORT_DEPTH_BACKTOFRONT and D3DXSPRITE_SORT_TEXTURE Meaning that sprites are sorted first by their layer depth and then secondly by the texture that they are on. I'm trying to do the same in XNA and i'm having some problems. I've tried...

In XNA, is it acceptable to create a GameService for an object that isn't a GameComponent? I know that a GameService is intended to be a way to access a GameComponent, but what if the object that you're trying to provide access to doesn't need to update on every update cycle? For example, I have a Camera2D object that can calculate a Mat...

Ever since I needed to work with PI (3.1415...) in C# I have used Math.PI to get the value. Usually I would just use values like Math.PI/2.0 or 2.0*Math.PI, but now I have just noticed that XNA provides a MathHelper class. The nice thing about this is I can call MathHelper.PiOver2 and MathHelper.TwoPi, thus making an extremely trivial ...
