MonoGame RPG Tutorial 36
Firstly, I have just shared tutorial 36 in my MonoGame RPG tutorial series Eyes of the Dragon. This tutorial covers creating animated tiles and adding them to the map. Originally I had planned on merging this tutorial with the next but I decided against it. You can find the link to the tutorial on the Eyes of the Dragon 3.0 page of the site or you can use this direct link.
Secondly, I am loving my new laptop. It has been a pleasure working on it for the past day. It was easier getting used to the keyboard than I thought it would be. There is one caveat though. The power button is where I’m used to the delete key being. I’ve accidentally put the laptop to sleep a few times because of it.
What’s Next
My plan is to work on tutorial 37 over the next two days. I have a big dinner party planned tomorrow and will be busy for most of the day. Otherwise I would have liked to have finished it tomorrow. After that tutorial I want to do some tutorials on web game programming. Not specifically about creating a game but rather a game framework that can be used to create games, like my Psi.io that I have been working on.
My Projects
My projects weren’t opened today. Instead I have been fine tuning my new laptop and installing software. I’m close to having it 100% the way that I want it. I should have it at 100% by the end of the weekend. I did install a few of my games: Dragon Age: Origins, Skyrim, and Heroess of Might and Magic III. The brief tests that I ran were impressive. Not being able to have ultra-high quality is a bit of a let down but the processing power I get instead is worth it. I would have to spend a lot more for a laptop with the same processing power and that kind of graphics card.
Final Thoughts
It is nice to see an end of porting tutorials in sight. I’m anxious to get started on fresh new content. I love my new laptop. It is great to work on. Over the next two days I should get back to my projects. So, I encourage you to keep visiting the blog for the latest news on my tutorials and other goodness.
