Next, the current position and button state of the mouse is captured into the "mouse" variable via Mouse. Both the Keyboard and the GamePad classes also use a GetState method that captures all of the data about that input device when the method is executed.

If the mouse reports that the left button is pressed, the code checks with the currentSquare object by calling its Contains method to determine if the mouse's coordinates fall within its area.

If they do, then the player has "caught" the square and scores a point. The timeRemaining counter is set to 0, indicating that the next time Update is called it should create a new square. After dealing with the user input, the MathHelper. Max method is used to decrease timeRemaining by an amount equal to the elapsed game time since the last call to Update.

Max is used to ensure that the value does not go below zero. The Microsoft. Framework namespace provides a class called MathHelper that contains lots of goodies to make your life easier when dealing with numeric data, including converting degrees to and from radians, clamping values between a certain range, and generating smooth arcs between a starting and ending value. The final method in the default Game1. Draw is normally called once after each call to Update unless something is happening to slow down the execution of your game.

In that case, Draw calls may be skipped in order to call Update m ore frequently. There will always be at least one call to Update between calls to Draw , however, as sequential Draw calls would provide no benefit—nothing in the game state will have changed.

The default Draw method simply clears the display window in the Cornflower Blue color. Alter the GraphicsDevice. Clear Color. CornflowerBlue ; call and replace Color. CornflowerBlue with Color. Gray to make the game a bit easier on the eyes. Any time you use a SpriteBatch object to draw to the display, you need to wrap the calls inside a Begin and End pair.

Any number of calls to spriteBatch. Draw can be included in a single batch and it is common practice to simply start a Begin at the top of your Draw code, use it for all of your drawing, and then End it right before the Draw method exits.

While not benefiting our SquareChase game, batching sprite drawing calls greatly speeds up the process of drawing a large number of images by submitting them to the rendering system all at once instead of processing each image individually. The SpriteBatch. Draw method is used to draw a Texture2D object to the screen. There are a number of different options for how to specify what will be drawn. In this case, the simplest call requires a Texture2D object squareTexture , a destination Rectangle currentSquare , and a tint color to apply to the sprite.

The result will always be 0, 1, or 2. This fits perfectly as an index to the elements in the colors array, allowing us to easily change the color of the square each time the player catches one. Finally, the spriteBatch. End tells XNA that we have finished queuing up sprites to draw and it should actually push them all out to the graphics card.

Run your game by clicking on Start Debugging from the Debug menu or hit F5 on the keyboard. Play an exciting game of SquareChase by holding down the mouse button and trying to catch the squares with your mouse cursor:. Granted it is not exactly the next blockbuster, but at only 33 lines of code, it implements a simple game mechanic, user input, score tracking and display, and clock-based timing. Not bad for a few minutes work. Vary the size of the square, making it smaller every few times the player catches one, until you reach a size of 10 pixels.

Start off with a higher setting for TimePerSquare and decrease it a little each time the player catches a square. Hint: You'll need to remove the const declaration in front of TimePerSquare if you wish to change it at runtime. We also saw how the XNA game loop initializes and executes, and constructs an elementary game by expanding on the default methods provided by the Windows Game template.

It is time to dive head first into game creation with XNA. In the next chapter, we will begin building the puzzle game Flood Control in which the player is challenged to pump water out of their flooding underwater research station before the entire place really is underwater!
