- “to clean up resources and reload the firmware so that no leaks or possible exploits exist”.

Obviously that is specific to non-Microsoft approved apps.

When you click the menu button to exit does your Zune restart? That is the one thing I couldn’t figure out.

thanks

It dosen’t seems to really follow my touch all that precisely to the point that it almost seems like a random movement when i touch. The Numbers in the string do seem to look accurate. And there are times it dashes about a pixel or so back and forth without me touching at all.
Heres my code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GamerServices;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Net;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Storage;

namespace ZunePadExample
{
///
/// This is the main type for your game
///
public class Game1 : Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game
{
GraphicsDeviceManager graphics;
SpriteBatch spriteBatch;
Texture2D characterTex;
SpriteFont aldoFont;
Vector2 characterPosition = new Vector2(120, 160);
Vector2 characterTexVector;
float touchPressure;

public Game1()
{
graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this);
Content.RootDirectory = “Content”;

// Frame rate is 30 fps by default for Zune.
TargetElapsedTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1 / 30.0);
}

///

/// This is where it can query for any required services and load any non-graphic
/// related content. Calling base.Initialize will enumerate through any components

protected override void Initialize()
{
// TODO: Add your initialization logic here

base.Initialize();
}

///

protected override void LoadContent()
{

spriteBatch = new SpriteBatch(GraphicsDevice);

// TODO: use this.Content to load your game content here
characterTex = Content.Load(“character”);
aldoFont = Content.Load (“Aldo”);
}

protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
{
// Allows the game to exit
if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Buttons.Back == ButtonState.Pressed)
this.Exit();

// TODO: Add your update logic here
IEnumerator touches = TouchPanel.GetState().GetEnumerator();
while (touches.MoveNext())
{
characterTexVector = touches.Current.Position;
touchPressure = touches.Current.Pressure;
}

base.Update(gameTime);
}

///
/// This is called when the game should draw itself.
///
/// Provides a snapshot of timing values.
protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
{
GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.CornflowerBlue);

// TODO: Add your drawing code here
spriteBatch.Begin();
string currentVector = string.Format(“{0}.{1} : {2}”, characterTexVector.X.ToString(), characterTexVector.Y.ToString(), touchPressure.ToString());
spriteBatch.DrawString(aldoFont, currentVector, new Vector2(50, 50), Color.Black);
spriteBatch.Draw(characterTex, characterTexVector, Color.White);
spriteBatch.End();

base.Draw(gameTime);
}
}
}

thanks for your assistance!

How is it acting crazy?

In your example what type of variable did you set “touchPressure” to be. I tried “float” but it seems to act a bit crazy.

thanks for sharing!
