Blocks NamespaceDelta Engine Documentation
Welcome to the Delta Engine Documentation.

Please note that while this documentation contains a lot of helpful hints and gives you a nice overview of the namespaces and classes, all of this is autogenerated from the source code. You can get the same help in Visual Studio via Intellisense. To get more conceptual help and tutorials head over to the Wiki and to ask questions please use the Forum.

Blocks is the first sample game of the Delta Engine. It is an Tetris like game with a minimal set of code and content. You can either use the tutorial, which is just about 50 lines of code or the full game, which is about 1k lines of code. Content used is in the Content Project "Blocks", which just contains a few images for the Background, Block and Box graphics plus an InputSettings file for all the controls.
