I’d like to personally thank you for making tutorials that are actual good. It’s way harder than it should be to find a tutorial on the internet simple enough for a beginner like me to follow, and one that explains everything clearly.

I did it like this:
(so far the sprite can only move up or down)
protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
{
// Allows the game to exit
if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Buttons.Back == ButtonState.Pressed)
this.Exit();

// TODO: Add your update logic here
if (Keyboard.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).IsKeyDown(Keys.Down))
{
float y = playerPosition.Y;
float x = playerPosition.X;
playerPosition = new Vector2(x, y + 2);
}

if (Keyboard.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).IsKeyDown(Keys.Up))
{
float y = playerPosition.Y;
float x = playerPosition.X;
playerPosition = new Vector2(x, y – 2);
}

base.Update(gameTime);
}

OK, this is very useful, but I’m using a tutorial from xnadevelopment.com. The first tutorials are about getting a sprite to move, duck, jump and shoot fireballs. yay! except that I only need 4 possible animations to show, walk Left/Right and duck Left/Right. If it makes any difference, just like in the tutorial I mentioned above, my Wizard class inherits from my Sprite class.
any help would be much appreciated!
