I would like my game to come up to the opening scene, and when i press the spacebar it goes away and my game starts.
I have tried something like this in my program:
void _startGame;
{
using (Blank game = new Blank())
{
game.Run();
}
}
But when i press spacebar it gives me an error.
Thanks, for the help!

This is a hack and I would suggest fixing it properly, otherwise it'll probably cause more problems down the road than it fixes.

Everything seems to work, but when i hit space it always throws an error (only when i try to run the game inside the already existing loop), how can i make a screen that shows up and when spacebar is hit it will close and the actual game will begin. So if i hit space this screen disappears and then my actual game appears and i can start playing it.
Thx for the feedback and i hope i can get a useful reply out of all of them.

Ok, so i understand i cant run another game in the same window, so how do i make it to where the splash screen appears and when spacebar is pressed it goes away and there the game is. Or maybe even a button that would make the splash screen disappear.
If you can plz right the code and thx again for all the Help

It's ok, i found something that if i make the Vector2 a negative and tell the splash to move up from its starting position to a point on the screen where it's not visible it wont show anymore
Thx for all your help!

Sadly this forum isn't a place for people to just write lots of code for other people to use. However, check out the SpaceWar sample. It has a splash screen that appears and when you press A or B on the controller it plays the game.

Why not jsut set a flag when you hit space
bool showSplash = true;
in Upate()
if (keyDown(Space)) showSplash=false
in Draw()
if (showSpash)
{
do the spash screen rendering
}
else
{
do the game screen rendering
}

I see what you are trying to do now. When you hit space you are starting up another game object - which you can't do.
Right now if you are using the Game objects you can use just the one window. If you want to do more you will have to not use Game and go much more low level and handle all the device stuff and window creation yourself. I don't think there are many (any ) examples of how to do that with XNA at the moment and you will have big problems ever running that on an xbox (no windows on there just the one that XNA creates for you).
You can just show different screens within that window like in SpaceWars - is that enough.

I did exactly what you are requesting by doing something very similar to what The ZMan stated. I actually maintain a current step, and name my steps something like CURRENT_STEP_SPLASH, CURRENT_STEP_LEVEL1_PLAY, CURRENT_STEP_LEVEL2_SPLASH, etc. Each step is a 'const int' and marked numerically in sequence.
After certain events, a mouse click to remove the SPLASH screen, for example, the currentStep counter is increased by one, moving the code to run the next step. I also increase the current step at the end of each playable level. Below is an example of some of my code.
private const int STEP_TITLE_PAGE = 0;private const int STEP_OPENING_PAGE = 1;
private const int STEP_INTRO_LEVEL_1 = 2;
private const int STEP_PLAY_LEVEL_1 = 3;
private const int STEP_INTRO_LEVEL_2 = 4;
private const int STEP_PLAY_LEVEL_2 = 5;
private int m_CurrentStep = STEP_TITLE_PAGE;
In the Draw() method, I check the current step to figure out what to draw.
if (m_CurrentStep == STEP_TITLE_PAGE){
spriteBatch.Draw(t2dTitlePage, new Rectangle(0, 0, 800, 600), Color.White);
}
else if (m_CurrentStep == STEP_OPENING_PAGE)
{
spriteBatch.Draw(t2dOpeningPage, new Rectangle(0, 0, 800, 600), Color.White);
}
........and so on.
