I have just tried out XNA, and it was pretty good. I really liked the way it was set up, because it made everything organized. I went back to using Mogre because XNA was made for the x-box 360, and I don't even own one, so I decided to just use Mogre.
The one thing that I got out of XNA was the way it was set up-
Game1
Program-
It was really simple and organized and you could create stuff really easily. So I wanted to create this type of setup for Mogre, because I thought it would be easier to program with. I tried to make it, but I didn't get really far because of two things-
(My code so far)
Game-
Program
First, the update method. I wasn't sure on how to go about doing that. I knew that the update method wasn't for the graphics, but for testing input and for movement. I saw how in the XNA setup, it used the method base.update(gameTime); and I wasn't sure about how to go about doing that with Mogre.
Second, the initialization method. All it does for XNA is base.Initialize(); I put the mRoot = new Root(); in the Mogre way, because I knew that had to be initialized, but I wasn't sure about if there were any other things that needed to be initialized, other then the scene manager (SceneMgr), and the render system ( RS)
Thanks, and if you have any questions or suggestions, Please tell me!
