Updated Animation Class

I have revamped the animation classes that were used in the game.  They are far more generic and more powerful.  The animation descriptions are read from an XML file instead of being hardcoded in the game.  Also, the textured quad is no longer responsible for managing the texture coordinates, that task is designated to a helper class.  All in all, these new classes will allow me to freely use them in other projects.  It was a painless transition, and the code is much cleaner.  I should have a complete game soon!
Feel free to check out the current status of the project at codeplex.

Particle Effects Demo

As promised, I have still been working on the particle effects.  To try out some ideas, I created a particle effects demo.  It's based off of the article given by Microsoft at the XNA Creators Club site.   I will be incorporating this into the game soon.  It's difficult finding time between finishing a basement programming...  I wish I had 48 hours in a day.

New Particle Effects Soon

I have worked my way through the particle sample provided by Microsoft.  I must say, it was far easier than I thought.  In fact, it is really quite simple to understand.  I will be incorporating it into the game soon.  There is one consideration that I will have to take into account.  When the particle emitter is not in an allowed distance of the viewing frustrum, then I shouldn't update draw any of the items.  Of course, I will have to draw and update those emitters that are close enough where their particles could potentially be in view.
 
Also, when the player gets close enough to an emitter, even it most likely won't be drawn, I will be updating the emitters particles so that when the emitter does enter the view frame, it won't look weird.  If I just start updating the emitter when in view, then particles will only be a short distance from the emitter and the image won't look authentic.
 
Look to CodePlex for updates soon.
