My Game Programming Adventures including projects and tutorials
I want to work on tutorials but I don’t want these long involved tutorial series. I will still be working on the longer series but I want something shorter. For that reason I will be starting work on a Shoot ’em Up or Shmup. This will be a side scrolling game and will feature some […]
I have published tutorial 6 in my Eyes of the Dragon tutorial series that is built using MonoGame. This tutorial starts building the game editor. The editor is unfortunately not cross platform and uses Windows Forms and DirectX. You can find the tutorial on the Eyes of the Dragon page of the site or you […]
I’ve made it about three quarters of the way through the next Eyes of the Dragon tutorial. As I’ve mentioned previously this tutorial focuses on creating a level editor for the game. I hope to wrap it up over the next few days. I’ve been busy with my app and it takes a lot of […]
I have started work on tutorial 6 in the Eyes of the Dragon tutorial series. This tutorial is about creating the editor for building worlds. It is unfortunately a Windows project instead of a cross platform solution because I use Win Forms. It is much easier to use the existing controls than trying to recreate […]

We did have the other half join virtually over zoom and my sister delivered their turkey dinners before hand. Yesterday was an off day. I just couldn’t focus on anything. I puttered on my editor for Silver Prophet and […]
So, the drive in the laptop I spent the past few days working on died. I didn’t lose much but I lost some tutorial work. Fortunately I have this laptop and all of my source code was stored on GitHub so the work that I’ve done is safe. Still, it sucks and I’ll have to […]
Today I worked on Silver Prophet’s battle engine. It’s coming along nicely. I need to add attack animations yet but either side of the field can win or lose the battle. When a character is damaged the amount floats from the top of their head and fades to transparent. When they receive enough damage they […]
I spent most of the data transferring from my main laptop to a different laptop. I had to reinstall most of the software, transfer data and set up the environments the way that I like. It’s taking a bit to get used to the new keyboard after primarily using the other for so long. I […]
So, I’m working on Silver Prophet as my main project. It is going relatively well. I make progress every day and rarely get stuck for long. Right now the big problem is assets. I’m not a pixel artist by any means. I can do some basic graphic design but I don’t have an aesthetic eye. […]
