I will present in this blog articles about programming games and simulations. The goal is to give you an idea how you can develop a game- or simulation engine, show you architectures and patterns that help you to organize your code. I will use C# and managed DirectX. I use for this tutorials Visual C# 2010 Express and SlimDX, a wrapper for the .NET framework. You can get Visual C# 2010 Express here: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-csharp-express and SlimDX here: http://slimdx.org/. I would be happy to hear from you if the following tutorials are helpful for you and am thankful for suggestions. Have fun!
