The XNA Shooter – Side Scroller Mod is a mod for the XNA Shooter Game by Benjamin Nitschke(http://abi.exdream.com/).

VertexBufferFactoryLibary

Technology: .net 3.5, Microsoft XNA Framework 3.0

Description:
With the power of .Net it really feels wrong when working with Vertex Buffers in XNA. To define a Vertex Buffer we explicitly have to define the VertexStructure itself, this will not go away . But than comes VertexElements, VertexDeclaration and the VertexBuffer itself. In the process of defining this elements we have to give the framework information about how big those elements are in bytes.

This Libary takes away the work from the developer and creates the information’s automatically with the power of reflection.

Example:

VertexBufferFactory.CreateVertexBuffer<PositionTextureTexture>
(this.GraphicsDevice, this.vertices, out vertexDeclaration, out vertexBuffer,
 out sizeInBytesPerVertex);

Explicit Run-Time Linking Library

Technology: Win32 Description: The ExplicitRunTimeLinkingLibrary is a library designed to make the process of explicit run-time linking more object-orientated and more streamlined. Example:

#include <DllReflector.h>

typedef bool (*importGraphicsDeviceFunction)(IGraphicsDevice** device);

DllReflector graphicsDll(L"D3D10GraphicsSystem.dll");

graphicsDll.Load();

graphicsDll.GetFunction<importGraphicsDeviceFunction>("CreateDevice",&createGraphicsDevice);
