You can put them in a folder if you want to, you wil have to drag them into one and set the namespace at the top of each file to [yourEngineName].[yourFolderName].

And if you want to use an object that’s in another folder, you add a using statement: “using [yourEngineName].[yourFolderName]“

Sorry if this question sounds a bit newbie, but I am one.

Do all t5he classes; Engine.cs, IEServiceContainer.cs, IEContentManager.cs, and GameScreensCollection.cs all go into the components folder?

I’m a bit unsure about these folders as to what they do, and what they mean. Can anyone help?

thanks in advance
Nick

Thanks for your great tutorials.
I can adapt it to create my own one.

Only one idea so far that I admit myself I will stick to it, is ‘StateManagement’. FMHO: it will give less for-loop and give more flexible across game’s components.

Anyway though it’s up to the app’s complexity.

Thanks

Forget that last comment, I was streamlining the code to my tastes, changing alot of variables to Properties and I forgot to add in the BackgroundScreen was Visble.

// Clear the back buffer
GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.CornflowerBlue);

This line in the Engine.Draw() should not be there.

Doing so will override any Background color you set with Screens in the Game Class.
