I like how your game is shaping up. I definitely enjoy the form and overall look of the enemy units.

I don’t, unfortunately, make it back to Indianapolis very often. Usually just near the holidays, unfortunately. It’s somewhat expensive to get there from the Seattle area…

Josh, that was an incredibly helpful piece of info! I have never tried to make a netted game before, so I’ll want to bear these tricks in mind.

BTW, do you go to Indy NDA often? There’s an XNA multi-platform game development special going on at 11-Feb-10.

As a matter of fact, yes - all of the textures in the game I'm working on right now are procedural. You can generate them on the CPU into an array and then use Texture.SetData to copy them into video memory, or you can generate them using the GPU, rendering them to a RenderTarget (which is what I do).

I would like to know if you have passed this procedural textures ( I m interested in cellulerB ) to XNA 3.1? It is possible to do that? I was viewing your code, and I m trying to run it ( need to install directx SDK) can I work with DirectX SDK august 2009?

The reason I want to play with procedural textures is because I need for a project related to multitouch table.

Thanks
