Summary

This lab introduced you to developing applications for the Windows Phone 7™ platform using the XNA Framework. In the course of this lab you created an XNA Game Studio game for Windows Phone 7™, loaded the game’s resources, took care of the input, updated the game state and added game specific logic. Then we enriched the game with tombstoning and state reloading features and, after all added a possibility to share the game score with a friend via SMS.

By completing this hands-on lab, you also became familiar with the tools required to create and test an XNA Game Studio project for Windows Phone. In this lab, you created a new XNA Game Studio application for Windows Phone 7 using Visual Studio 2010 and the Windows Phone Developer Tools, and then created the application logic and the layout of the user interface.
