So, the September Game Camp User Group Meeting is over, and we want to thank everyone that showed up, and also to the great sessions the presenters had.

We want to welcome you back in the next meeting where we will focus on programming a XNA game, where you will learn how to program with XNA, and also how some games have been made. I think it will be a few good sessions next time, and there might even be some hands-on labs so you really learn XNA!

Presentation slides:

Creating a Game from A-Z(Thomas B and Petri W): part 1 | part 2
Abstracting the abstractable(Einar I): Slides in PDF


Mage Defender game and source code: Binary | Source

 See you next time! :)
