PlayStation Studio SDK Tutorial 1: Hello World

PlayStation Mobile SDK Development content

This tutorial is the manditory Hello World tutorial, it covers ( with lots of detail )how to find your way around PSSuite, how to create a new solution, create the (required) app.cfg file, add references to your project and finally how to execute your game.  If you just downloaded PS Studio and are trying to get up and running, this should be a good place to start.

The code itself simply creates a textured full screen sprite saying, you guessed it, "Hello World".  This project makes use of GameEngine2D.  After reading it you should be able to create, configure and run projects using PS Studio, as well as write the code that creates images, sprites and textures, as well as understanding the very basics of what GameEngine2D does.

Hope it proves helpful to some of you, and please let me know if you encounter an error or any sort of problem.

Part 2 is now up.

Hello World 2: Hello Harder.

This tutorial builds on the first tutorial, and illustrates how to manually create your game loop and using the gamepad in various ways to rotate and scale your sprite.

Of course, if you have any questions or see any mistakes, please let me know!

Thanks for the tutorials!  I do have a question for you.

In my AppMain.cs, there are some codes already in there that I didn't see in your example. It looks like below:

    while (true) {
                SystemEvents.CheckEvents ();
                Update ();
                Render ();
            }
        }

        public static void Initialize ()
        {
            // Set up the graphics system
            graphics = new GraphicsContext ();
        }

        public static void Update ()
        {
            // Query gamepad for current state
            var gamePadData = GamePad.GetData (0);
        }

        public static void Render ()
        {
            // Clear the screen
            graphics.SetClearColor (0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
            graphics.Clear ();

            // Present the screen
            graphics.SwapBuffers ();
        }
    }
}

Should I keep this code?  Or can I delete them?

Thanks , it's what i need now lol.

You can delete them.  When using GameEngine2D, those methods are handled slightly differently.

I updated to have a single landing page for all tutorial content.

Also added another two part tutorial, mentioned in this thread, covering importing from Blender to PS Suite.
