I can't commit to the official SVN repo either, so I think I'm going to fork the code to Google Code this weekend. I have several changes I'd like to get into an official fork, including decent support for collision detection via Farseer. Brad, thanks!

I can't commit the change but here's a link: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bwpoogux26tSNjJ3eTBNQnB2V1E FYI I'll be using this framework on a project and would gladly fork or contribute to your project :).

So, unfortunately, it's mostly just because IceCream isn't well suited for any other name right now. To rename it, click your Content project in the Solution Explorer pane and view the Properties pane (not right click->Properties, just the Properties pane). One of them is called Content Root Directory, and that's the one. Hope this helps! Hi Jeff,

One question though.. I'm getting an error loading global.ice and I came back and looked at step 13 more closely: "Set your Content directory to be called Content instead of just Content." How would I do this? And is there a problem with leaving ContentDirectoryName set to "Content" rather than prepending the project name? Thanks in advance! Thanks for the simple explanation!

The 1945 tutorial I've written is separate for the one on their site. Mine is an additional exercise making the same sort of game, but doing things a little differently. If you're interested in the framework, I'd encourage you to look at both! Hi Scott. The 1945 tutorial I’ve written is separate for the one on their site.

The one by you and another on the Icecream SVN site. Does your tutorial completely replace theirs or add on to it? I have found 2 copies of the 1945 tutorial.

The IceComponent still works, but the project template does not. The code has not seen a commit in quite awhile. I personally would like to contribute to the project and get it active again, but I did not hear back from Epsicode when I asked him about opening the svn repository to me, or forking it. It's possible my email just got lost in the shuffle. I have not yet tried emailing again (this was 2 or 3 weeks ago). You’re right that the templates are not converted to XNA 4.0.

I downloaded the version for XNA 4.0 but there are some issue with the templates. It seems that they are not converted to XNA 4.0. Do you know if IceCream is still developed or is the project dead? Thanks for you fast answer :) .
