Just a quick question:
Will it be possible to use the XNA Framework outside of the XNA Game Studio to develop applications other than games (like CAD programs or something similar)?
I'm asking this since it will probably replace MDX and therefore represent the more "up to date" version of the DirectX functionality.
Our focus is currently on games, so all our testing and design effort is going into making sure that gaming scenarios work well.
But that said, at the end of the day it is all just polygons and
textures and shaders, so there's nothing stopping you using our API to
render things other than games.
Well, that's perfectly okay I expected the "part-time-job" functionality of XNA Framework to be coming last in the development cycle.
What I was more concerned about was the ability to use it outside of the XNA Game Studio. But since it is just assemblies like the rest of the .NET Framework, I should have no problem whatsoever using them in VC++ Express if I want to, correct?
