Sorry to burden with so much code. But this is obviously a technical issue i cant comprehend or something. I have 2 sprites, with my main game1 class and my Ship class which holds the controls and properties of my player's sprite. The background draws fine, so it might be something going on in the Draw() method in the game component not sure. Thank you for the help and instant rep for everyone who comments and helps in some way...

Here is the Game1 class:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content;

    public class Game1 : Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game
    {
        GraphicsDeviceManager graphics;
        SpriteBatch spriteBatch = null;

        Texture2D backgroundTexture;
        private Texture2D meteorTexture;
        private Ship player;

        private void Start()
        {
            if (player == null)
            {
                player = new Ship(this, ref meteorTexture);
                Components.Add(player);
            }
            player.PutInStartPosition();
        }
        public Game1()
        {
            graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this);
            Content.RootDirectory = "Content";
        }

        protected override void Initialize()

        }

        protected override void LoadContent()
        {
            spriteBatch = new SpriteBatch(GraphicsDevice);

            backgroundTexture = Content.Load<Texture2D>("starfield");
            meteorTexture = Content.Load<Texture2D>("SquareGuy");
            Services.AddService(typeof(SpriteBatch), spriteBatch);
        }
        protected override void UnloadContent()
        {
        }
        protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
        {
            if (player == null)
                Start();

            base.Update(gameTime);
        }
        protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
        {
            GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.CornflowerBlue);

            spriteBatch.Begin();
            spriteBatch.Draw(
                backgroundTexture, new Rectangle(0,0, 
                graphics.GraphicsDevice.DisplayMode.Width,
                graphics.GraphicsDevice.DisplayMode.Height),
                Color.White
                );
            spriteBatch.End();
            spriteBatch.Begin(SpriteBlendMode.AlphaBlend);
            // Draw the game components (sprites included)
            base.Draw(gameTime);
            // End rendering sprites
            spriteBatch.End();

You to call the Draw method of the playerShip class to draw the player to the screen. I haven't looked at that Rock Rain tutorial in quite a while, so I can't remember off hand what the call was for that particular game, but try player.Draw() inside the Draw method of the game1 class. This call will call the draw method inside the playerShip class, and as long as you provide the proper parameters, it should work.

[ShadowsEdge19]

Something that I spotted quite quickly after consulting my full RockRain version. I moved the Spritebatch initialization to the constructor instead of the draw() method.

        public Ship(Game game, ref Texture2D theTexture)
            : base(game)
        {
            texture = theTexture;
            position = new Vector2();

            SpriteBatch sBatch =
                (SpriteBatch)Game.Services.GetService(typeof(SpriteBatch));

            spriteRectangle = new Rectangle(31, 83, SHIPWIDTH, SHIPHEIGHT);
        }

        public override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
        {
            sBatch.Draw(texture, position, spriteRectangle, Color.White);

            base.Draw(gameTime);
        }
        public Rectangle GetBounds()
        {
            return new Rectangle((int)position.X, (int)position.Y, SHIPWIDTH, SHIPHEIGHT);
        }

Oh and move the Start() method in Game1 to after the Game1() constructor and before the loadcontent(), update() and draw() methods.

Shadow when i moved the SpriteBatch initializer the sBatch variable gets and error and says it doesnt exist in this context

Now I only added the sBatch to the properties list at the top and then initialized at the contructor. However if that still doesn't work I suggest you try reapplying the sprite content to the project that you found yourself, and also tell us any error messages that pop up.

[Dev1462]

Shadow your way works great but sadly the sprite still doesn't show, to test the sprite i simple created it the beginners way using spriteBatch.Draw(); and it was there, so this isn't an issue with that, something isn't communicating between the Game1 class and the Ship class.

[ShadowsEdge19]

I've compared the game1 to my own working one and I suggest you replace it with this, no major changes so I'm not sure if it will actually change things for the better. If it still doesn't work then it's something to do with the content itself, did you put the images into the folder in windows explorer or did you drop it onto the content folder in the Visual Studio folder list?

I know what's wrong, you don't have the RockRain.png image that contains the ship and meteor images.

Here's the basic version:


and here's the final Rock Rain Enhanced version:


Change the load content for the meteorTexture to look for RockRain instead of the current one and use the image provided in the content folder.

I changed it, but you only moved the method. Secondly what i did was right-click content and added an existing item, also idk how to use a tile set...only single images...could you maybe upload your version? i wish this wasnt so fustrating. I think the Game1 isnt the problem i think its something in the Ship Game component

But then what is gained by the tutorial if you skip to the end? btw from your code it's already established how it will read the tile set for the ship and the meteors, you just need to use it and it'll work.

The line it finds the ship in the tile set is in ship() :
spriteRectangle = new Rectangle(31, 83, SHIPWIDTH, SHIPHEIGHT);

ahhh, i see, it would have been really cool is he told me that instead of you know just showing me the code and making me figure that out. w.e and you're right i got to figure out wtf is going wrong, ill copy and past your code and see what might be wrong

edit: NOPE did work either, it HAS to be the Ship class at this point it just has to be, do you have that class too? I also commented out the background and left it with the blue to see if maybe it was effecting anything, and no it still doesn't show, its definitely that other component

I've checked my old project now that I'm at home, and your Ship class is perfectly fine. Do me a favor and paste the code that you have now, after the changes and let me take a look through all of it with a fine toothed comb.
