Using XNA Framework Starter Kits
An XNA Framework Starter Kit is a complete or near-complete, self-contained game that includes both game code and game assets. A starter kit is ready for you to load and build. Each kit comes with its own documentation, including descriptions of programming techniques, and suggestions for how it may be customized. A starter kit provides a great way to see a working XNA Framework game in action and to see what is possible using XNA Game Studio for game development.
