Program Zune Games

Microsoft's personal media device, Zune, has recently added a new feature that allows users to program and upload games to their Zune. However, games are uploaded significantly differently than the other media. Rather than using the Zune Software, the user loads them directly from the Visual C#, which is the program used to create the games. This allows users to program their own Zune games and upload them directly to their Zune.


InstructionsToolbars>XNA Device Manager 2.0." Click on the "Launch XNA Game Studio Device Center" button, which is the monitor button next to the plus-sign button. Click on "Add Device" and select Zune.


4. Select "File>NewProject> Zune Games." Program the game in the C# language. C# has started the format for you, but you will need to learn the language to create the remainder of the program. Microsoft provides a quick tour of the language (see Resources).


5. After you save the Zune Game, select "Build>Deploy [ZuneGame]." This should send the game to your Zune.
