I have just published the first tutorial in my new MonoGame mini tutorial series Space Raptor. Space Raptor is a shoot ’em up or shmup that takes place in space. The object is to navigate through a sea of enemies and eventually defeat the final boss. This tutorial covers setting up the projects and adding in some basic components. It then moves to firing bullets and collision detection. You can find the tutorial on the MonoGame Tutorials page of my web site.
