Loving the tutorials, but having an issue with this one. When I compile and run on XBOX 360 (using the jiglibx.dll from the modified project) everything comiles fine but as soon as the call to

Engine.Services.AddService(typeof(Physics), new Physics());

is added the 360 just goes to a black screen and freezes. The same code run on Windows with the Windows jiglib.dll runs a charm. I’m running XNA 3.1. Anybody got any suggestions as I’m losing what little hair I have left with this!!

Cheers folks and keep up the superb work.

First off bloody great stuff in these tutorials.
The problem i am having is that content added anywhere outside load content doesnt render. For example in this tutorial the large box that hits the others does not render unless i add it in LoadContent. Any idea what coudl be causing this as i have ran it in debug and nothing appears different to anything else.

I downloaded the modified version and it works now.

Getting another error though now

Error 1 The type or namespace name ‘CollisionSystemSAP’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\Users\Garfinkle\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\InnovationEngine\InnovationEngine\Physics\Physics.cs 19 54 InnovationEngine

Just been looking at the .dll file JigLibX and there are only 2 AddPrimitive Methods

public int AddPrimitive(JigLibX.Geometry.Primitive prim, JigLibX.Collision.MaterialProperties matProps)
Member of JigLibX.Collision.CollisionSkin

and

public int AddPrimitive(JigLibX.Geometry.Primitive prim, int matID)
Member of JigLibX.Collision.CollisionSkin

no of which accept 3 parameters…is there a problem with the dlls in the downloads?
