It would be great if you could add my 2D Physics Engine for XNA to the list. It's called Farseer Physics Engine.  My spaces blog about it is here: http://jeffweber.spaces.live.com/.  The project files are on CodePlex.

Thanks

Is it just me or for some reason buttons don't work in Rocket Commander?

LOL, I suppose lastly the main MS XNA site and the XNA team blog (and members blogs)

But I suppose that's just a little too obvious.

Merry Xmas

Hello Mr. Dave,

My name is Mossa TheGreat and I am another of your dedicated readers who love the information you give out every now and then.

Today, I have another link that may show good use for all of us and I hope you can accept it into your extraordinary list of links.

http://www.riemers.net/

Best Regards,

Mossa TheGreat

Everything is updated.  

Mossa, once your site is XNA Framework-focused, I'll link to it.  I'm trying to avoid links to sites that primarily use Managed DirectX.

Ahh, but riemers site ww.riemers.net does have a nice C# in XNA section.

Slowly updating all the current tutorials to XNA and another nice section on shaders in XNA!.

Looking good

I've been on holiday for a couple of days, and I will start resuming work on the XNA update of my site soon. First I want to have the 3 series ported to XNA, then I will spend some time creating a XNA-based layout for my site. Currently 2 out of 3 series have been ported.

Maybe you can link to the XNA part of my site? The url will stay valid after my site has been XNA-zed.

you can my xna tuts at:  http://www.riemers.net/eng/Tutorials/XNA/Csharp/series1.php

Have a happy newyears eve!
