It’s been a few days since I posted. That doesn’t mean that I haven’t been working on the Centipede tutorial, because I have. I made the graphics myself. I’m not a great graphics artist, though, so they aren’t perfect. But they are functional. The coding is going well. It is great to be making games …
Next Tutorial – Centipede
After much thought, I’ve decided what the next tutorial I’m going to work on is. It will be Centipede, an old favourite of mine. It is a shoot ’em up where you use the bug blaster to destroy centipedes that come from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen. If you …

Working on a Frogger Clone Tutorial
Well, I started work on a Frogger clone tutorial. I’ve got the frog moving around the screen. I’ve added the road and the vehicles for the frog to avoid. If the frog runs into a car, the game resets. I’ve just started on adding the parts to the water, like the logs and the turtles. …
