I don't understand why no one talks about XNA overhere. XNA 2 is out and not even one post about. You can get it here:

http://creators.xna.com/Education/GettingStarted.aspx

And it comes with network feature and a few more nice things!


And there are a few good projects around. For example this one:

QuickStartEngine: A free, open-source, easy to use engine

http://www.codeplex.com/QuickStartEngine


I already have a stable engine and now I am making a Level Editor for it. And I can honestly say that I am learning a lot and enjoy it! You can a little video of it here:

Cheers.

Thanks "XNASorcerer"....I will check it out again;I downloaded the package before just didn't have enough time to play around w/it. the previous version was a bit not so easy to use.Hoepfully version 2 is more simplify; to a degree any way.


Good lighting doesn't just happen,it's designed.

i had a look at the first two tutorials and it seems to be quite easy to program for at a first glance but how does more complicated stuff like collision detection work with xna? i noticed that there are some functions for intersection tests but i think they alone don't make a full collision system. for example how hard is it to get a character walking around in a level with good collision detection?

It is not hard at all!!!
If you have XNA installed, just try this example:

XNA HeightmapCollision.Zip 1MB

i will maybe install it later. height maps are one of the easier things to collide with though. what about arbitrary polygon soup levels?

...
this is a cool xna project: http://walaber.com/index.php?action=showitem&id=17

The marble game looks good, but it's not clear if that is polymesh geometry or octree/bsp

Hello

I suppose that the main reason for using XNA and C# instead of 3DGS and Lite_C
is flexibility
Can you provide some concrete examples of features which can not be accomplish with 3dgs while are possible using XNA ?

Sorry, but this is not a forum called "Other tools against 3dgs". The name is Tools - Competitor products & game development tools.
