David Johnston (aka Deajay169), the creator of Shuggy (one of the absolute best of the Dream-Build-Play entries), has created a sample project that shows how to create a basic platformer. This is very good stuff and the code is well-written and easy to understand. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand how Mario Brothers (or Shuggy!) works.
I've been a professional software engineer since 1991. Most of my career has been spent developing embedded software for the aerospace and defense industries.
I grew up playing videogames and have always been interested in writing them. In college I wrote an Othello game as part of a graduate class in Artificial Intelligence.
The availability of Microsoft's XNA framework, and the ability to write games for the Xbox 360, has rekindled this passion.
