OpenGL 2D Independent Resolution Rendering
Around two years ago I made a tutorial for XNA in which you could render 2D games scaled to the current window resolution with proper letter-boxes or pillar-boxes. As many know since then I moved to C++ and OpenGL, and

XNA 2D Independent Resolution Rendering
Note: 22/04/2013 – Due to popular request I made an article about achieving this effect in OpenGL Independent Resolution Rendering?? What’s this all about? Basically a way of not caring what you resolution is. Ever had Gui elements misplaced because

Drawing Lines in XNA
One of the things I realized is very handy when prototyping or debugging is to draw a line on a specific location. Like drawing lines around collision boxes to see if your character is making a proper collision. For my

Using PerfHUD with XNA
I am definitely a fan of ATI cards. Had a few Geforces but didn’t liked them very much. I actually noticed image quality decrease when switching from an old Radeon 9800 to a Geforce 8k something. I’m very happy with
