I would want to know where I can find the starter kid that contains TinyTennis so I can begin to learn from coding4fun.

Everything looks great but you haven't written down where to get any files! I've been searching for about an hour now and I'm very annoyed.

Please reply: Where I can either find a earlier (start point) of this continued guide, or where I can download the required file needed to use this tutorial.

Thank you.

The download is at the top of this page... Where it says, "Download." It's called, "C# Download."

The link for TinyTennis is at the top (C# Download). It adds a template to your VS and go from there.

near the top of this page is a link that says 'C# Download' which is a download of a .vsi file that installs a .zip file containing the source. Pay attention to where it installs the .zip file, to make sure you can find it and unzip it. On my PC it put it in a Visual Studio 2005 templates directory.

Installation stopped because the directory for the ProjectType value did not exist. The project type is invalid for your installation of Visual Studio

I downloaded unzipped and opened the tiny tennis solution using visual c# 2008 express edition. This required a conversion. After compilation I got errors and warnings, which I've pasted in at the bottom of this. I hope I'm not just being a greenie, and I'm bringing up a relevant question but in either case, hopefully you will still have an answer.

Thank you

Following are the warnings and error messages:

Warning 1 Load of property 'RootNamespace' failed. The string for the root namespace must be a valid identifier. TinyTennis

This is all very interesting, but I have about the stupidest question asked ever: How do you move your own bat thingy to block the ball???

41 errors after conversion for VS2008. Anyone figured out how to get this running under '08?

Coding4Fun — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:53:53 GMT

@Nick: What are the errors? The source is a tad old for this game judging by the date but I'll see what I can't do to help out.

re: Upgrade Your Game: TinyTennis (C#)

Coding4Fun — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 23:00:31 GMT

@Nick: I Just downloaded it, unzipped the tinytennisstarterkit

C:\Users\crutkas\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#\TinyTennisStarterKit

Started a new project with it as the template and it compiled just fine. I didn't even have to convert it. To get it as a Template, I clicked on "Visual C#" in my project types in the "New Project" dialog.

About the errors.

Is just erase the "$" caracters from the classes names.

Then it should compile nicely.

For those of you who are receiving this error posted earlier by Paul:

"Installation stopped because the directory for the ProjectType value did not exist. The project type is invalid for your installation of Visual Studio"

It is because you have changed the default location of where Visual Express saves projects and templates. To fix this go into tools>options>projectsandsolutions>general:

from here reset the saving folders back to the default location which should be something like:

C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects

C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Templates\ProjectTemplates

C:\Documents and Settings\Aeklad\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Templates\ItemTemplates

After I did this I was able to install all of the .vsi files no problem.
