\n–Visual Studio Express 2013 windows desktop edition (free)<\/a>
\n–the XNA assemblies (Game Studio 4)<\/a>
\n–Dotnet 4.x (will be installed with VS2013)<\/a>
\n–XNA runtime (needed also when youo distribute your executable)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nHowever this is a good framework to practice and learn gaming tips and tricks.
\nPlus, there is a future is MonoGame<\/a> : an open source implementation of the Microsoft XNA 4.x Framework .<\/p>\n
