I have scoured the Internet for this but I cannot simply find the instructions.
I am trying to install DirectX and Direct3D in Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. How do I install it? What do I need to download?
According to this link, I think DirectX hasn't released for VS 2013. Am I wrong?
I am learning DirectX for the first time, so please forgive me if my questions seems very basic.
If you're using at least Windows 7, you'll want to download the Windows SDK for Windows 8.1. It includes DirectX, and supports Visual Studio 2013.
Visual Studio 2013 may (depending on your install) include parts of the Windows SDK already, so you may want to make sure you don't already have DirectX headers/libraries installed.

I am try use Xamarin Studio for Android. But, when i click File->New->Project... i don't see C#: Android application.
How to fix it? Thanks!!
As said here: The Cycle 7 version of Xamarin Studio on Windows requires both Microsoft Build Tools 2013 (or Visual Studio 2013) and Microsoft Build Tools 2015 (or Visual Studio 2015) to be installed.
You will need to update yours.
As a personal suggestion. Since you are using Windows I recommend to use Visual Studio Community. Its free and recommended by Xamarin.
To complement the answer I will quote what #MattWard said in the comments:
Xamarin.Android is included in Xamarin's universal installer but it is
also included in the Xamarin.VisualStudio.msi (note that even though
it says Visual Studio it does not require it to be installed). These
are available from your account page
Have you installed the Android SDK?
So recently I've begun learning C# from this man's video series. Right now I have Visual Studio 2013 (Community edition), and in his video he's using a subcategory called "Store Apps." My problem is that in the current version of Visual Studio I'm using, it doesn't acquire this subcategory. Anyway on how I may obtain it?
Thank you for your help.

You'll need to have the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK installed as he suggested, and make sure that you also have Visual Studio Update 2 installed.
Comment from the video description:
Note: Before we get started, make sure that you already have the
Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 installed, which will include the Windows
Phone 8.1 Tooling, like we talked about in the previous lesson. If you
already have that installed, then we're ready to move forward.

Install Xamarin for Visual Studio 2013 Express
(2 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I'm running Windows 7 professional, installed Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013. Now, I got to work with development of android applications in c# and I want to do it in Visual studio Express edition. I found Xamarin would integrate android and iOS application development with c# and Visual Studio. I installed xamarin for visual studio here
I tried to integrate Xamarin in Visual Studio, but couldn't succeed with it.
I followed the developer.Xamarin instructions, couldn't find xamarin panel in tools -> options (in the BUILD host settings).
Instructions here, shows the integration of xamarin through migration from visual studio 12 to visual studio 13. I think it's out of my point from my concern.
I find some of the questions in stackoverflow are quite similar, though they were marked as answered but I'm sure there might be some other best solutions.
monotouch, visual studio - Xamarin IDE are some of the posts that I found uninformative. I couldn't get any conclusion from those posts. I'm truly disappointed with the posts(spent lot of time, but my issue was not solved). Any help is really appreciated.
Visual Studio Express does not support plug-ins and cannot be used with Xamarin.
What are the minimum system requirements?
Xamarin requires the platform SDKs from Apple and Google to target iOS
or Android, and our system requirements match theirs. To build for
iOS, you'll need the latest iOS SDK (currently iOS 7), which requires
an Intel-based Mac running OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion). Our Visual
Studio Extensions for iOS and Android support any non-Express editions
of Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2013.
Visual Studio Express --> Free but no plug-ins, so no Xamarin
Visual Studio --> expensive but plug-in support
these look the same but are very different products.
I tried installing XNA GS 4 today only to have it complain that I need to have either windows phone developer's tools, visual C++, or visual C#. I have visual C# 2013 installed already, do I have to download and install an older version of C# in order to install XNA?
Yes, unfortunately XNA won't install unless you have VS 2010. Once you have it, it will actually work just fine with 2012/2013, you just need to copy the installed files over and update the .vsix manifest to allow the newer version of VS.
See XNA for Visual Studio 2013 or http://dementedvice.wordpress.com/2013/10/21/let-me-explain-install-xna-on-visual-studio-2013-and-2012/ for more instructions.
If you download the XNA Enabler application you will be able to install XNA Game Studio 4.0 Refresh into Visual Studio 2012 or 2013.

I am trying to set a coding environment for Windows Phone.
At first I was using the free version of Visual C# 2010, but compiling failed for the Artemis DLLs - Unsupported unit-testing modules...
So I downloaded Visual Studio 2012 - Compiling worked, but not for everything! The Xbox and Phone DLLs were not compiled.
The error message sent me to Visual Studio 2013 compatibility page.
...
I downloaded VS2013 - Same issue.
I want an environment for XNA + Artemis (Entity-based programming) for C# (PC and Windows Phone)
Can anyone please give me directions?
Is there a way to get a Windows Phone 8 emulator working on a non-Win 8 Pro environment? I have Win8 and I don't want to pirate a windows just so I could start an emulator for development. (I have a real DEV ID and SDK approval)
Also, I do not plan on coding with the VS2013/2012 (I already removed 2012, will do the same with 2013 if it is not needed for the set up) as I said, I wanted to compile the libraries (and couldn't with VisualC#!)
As far as I know, XNA is not anymore supported in the newest versions of Visual Studio (then 2012 and 2013).
Indeed, to create a little game some time ago, I used Visual Studio 2010, that was the last supported version for those libraries.
I don't know exactly how to create games in Windows Phone 8, without using XNA, but there's a library named SharpDX that could be useful for you. Take a look at this question.
As was stated by Moo-Juice - "What I do know that works with both VS2010/VS2012 Express is Monogame. Check it out."
This is not the answer I was looking for, but it's something I did not know of.
Thanks Moo-Juice
