Hello again, So starting off with my new project, I decided what I needed first. Sprites being one of the most fundamental things with a game I decided to start with that. Thanks to XNA getting sprites onto the screen is pretty darn easy. Its been a while since I've done any programming in XNA and C# so I decided to go with UML class diagrams to do a quick 'sketch' of what I'll need for my sprite classes. I came up with this, which is really just what I remembered off the top of my head from reading tutorials/books on XNA:



Nothing fancy going on here, just a simple class diagram with my general non animated sprite class, and then an animated class that inherits from Sprite. I thought about this for a while but then I realized, whats the point, if I set the sprite sheet size too (1,1) then there wont be any animation occuring. So I decided to simply combine the two classes into one, and out lined two classes that will inherit from the 'new' Sprite: AutoSprite, which updates its movements and other shinanigans by itself, and UserSprite, which is controlled by the player. I ended up with this:



Again, I probably don't NEED to make UML class diagrams for this but hey its nice to start small and since I took a class on this kind of stuff last semester in school, might as well make use of it

Now I just got too actually code this stuff which shouldn't take too long at all!
Ciao.
