XNA looks too cool

I spend most of the evening looking at XNA in a bit more depth. It seems like the way I should proceed for any rendering that I need to do.

It is a complex topic, though, so there will be a learning curve. I'm going to be spending some time working through some tutorials and futzing around before I can get back on track with my first bio simulation.

The XNA team blog seems to have lots of useful pointers. They refer a lot to a site called creators club online, which (at first blush at least), seems to have tons of content.

I may even break down and buy an xbox 360 controller, as it sounds like they can be hooked up to a PC...

Good to see you are looking into XNA. You will find that it will be a fun trip... If you do need any help the Creators site is still the best place to start, but there are heaps of other resources out there.

I definately suggest a 360 controller if you want to get into XNA since many of the sample applications use the controller. It's also just plain fun to use :)
