Hi Daniel. At this time you need to compile your graphic assets using VS2010 using an XNA 4.0 Project and then move the XNB files over to your VS2010 project. The reason is that MonoGame does not yet implement the content pipeline compilation tools. When drawing your sprites in Windows 8 do not use hard coded dimensions. Use % of GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Width and GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Height. That way your game will scale properly regardless of screen resolution.

Hi Bob!

Great Tips of the kind you only find very rare on the web.

Could you please tell what to do with the assets of the shooter demo, before compiling them?

How do I convert the Background Images from Windows phone 800x600, so they fit in Fullscreen-mode on Windows Metro?

Or is there something I have to Change in the code?

Thx

Daniel

I found it. You just add The Full Content Folder To your solution and make all the files Content and Copy if newer.

Or you can mess around with the contentmanager.cs but both ways work

I'm having problems loading music into Monogame. Music works fine for my game in XNA, but isn't loading correctly in here. Any ideas?
