I’m installing the SDK for WP8 now and have a few questions. XNA seems to be supported but only in a legacy mode. So for game stuff I assume you have a choice of XAML based,… what, is it Silverlight still? And if the game is 3D or graphically intensive then it’s C++ and Direct X?
Is there an option of C# with managed Direct X for gaming in there?
Or some XAML + DirectX mix?
Thanks
No. (Or well, SharpDX is now available for WP8)
You wouldn’t want to go down that path. Stick to DirectX and C++ if you want to create a game. Silverlight forces 60 FPS which is horrendous for battery life, and makes the devices incredible hot if used for rendering games or video.
