3. Select the Windows Game (4.0) project template from the central portion of the window.
4. Under Name, enter
Cube Chaser
and click the Ok button.5. After Visual Studio has created the solution, right-click on the
Game1.cs

CubeChaserGame.cs
. When asked if you wish to update the references to the file, click Yes.
What just happened?
We now have the shell for our Cube Chaser game. We could have left our main game class as Game1
as we did for the Speller game, but giving the class a more descriptive name helps to keep our code as self-documenting as possible.
