PhotoOverflight - XNA 3.0 demo written in C#

PhotoOverflight V1.2
XNA 4.0 demo written in C#

XNA is a game framework based upon .NET. This page is about my first XNA application, a photo viewer. You can display a stream of arbitrary photos (image files) appearing from a spot far away, getting bigger while being rotated and finally moved out of view.

In my opinion XNA together with C# and .NET make life much easier for a developer. The class libraries provide everything you need to quickly develop games or demos. Performance and memory footprint remain questionable, though.

PhotoOverflight has been developed and tested on Win XP SP3. Unfortunatelly this time I am not able to provide a Linux port, as Mono XNA is not mature.

I have compiled PhotoOverflight on Win XP SP3 using:

Visual Studio 2010
XNA 4.0 game studio

To run this demo on your machine you have to download and install a few freely available packages from MS (use the search engine at microsoft.com):

.NET Framework Version 4.0 Redistributable Package
XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0
DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime (tested with version 9.29.1973, November 2010)

The download package contains sources and the compiled executable together with a README file on installation details and a COPYING file on GPL V3 details.
