Streamlining Python Development: A Guide to a Modern Project Setup
XBOX ONE DEVELOPMENT KIT GUIDE
1. XBOX ONE DEVELOPMENT KIT
INTRODUCTION
Software Development Kit created by Microsoft used to write software for the XBOX gaming
system.
XDK includes libraries, a compiler and various tools used to create software for the Xbox.
XDK has the option to integrate itself into MS Visual Studio 2002 or 2003 which is needed if
one wants to develop applications or games for the Xbox.
XDK also includes a tool to record in-game footage, which has been widely used to create high-quality
screenshots and trailers.
2. Purpose
XDK was also designed to be used in conjunction with an Xbox console with the XDK Debug
BIOS. It includes features to link to the console for real-time debug feedback, including
system activity and network monitors.
According to the XDK license agreement, only developers that are licensed by Microsoft
may compile code and release binaries (.XBEs) of their software with the XDK. In response
the OpenXDK project was created as an open source replacement for the XDK.
Many people who are supplied with XDKs are required to sign Non-disclosure agreements
so they do not disclose any information about Microsoft's development technology.
