Well, I had a great weekend. I’m happy to be back, though. I missed programming and writing. Still, I enjoyed my time away. I see that you have all been busy reading! That’s so good to see. I like that what I’m writing is having a positive impact on the MonoGame community. Don’t worry; it …
A Few Days Off
As you can see, I took a few days off from posting. I will be taking a few more as well. I might post tomorrow, but it is hard to say at this point because I will be travelling. So this might not be the full type of post that you are used to seeing. …
New Tutorial! A Summoner’s Tale 0A
Haha! I see what you did there. You used hexadecimal. Joking aside, I did want to use hexadecimal for numbering this series—no particular reason. Back to the important stuff. I’ve just uploaded tutorial ten to my Google Drive. As I mentioned previously, this tutorial adds the character generator and the main menu. Besides uploading to …
A Summoner’s Tale Tutorial 0A Status
What? 0A? Are you a little confused? No, I’m not confused. I decided to number the tutorials in hexadecimal. Please don’t ask me why. I don’t totally know. It was just a whim. Anyway, odd numbering aside. I did work on that tutorial a bit today. I am about half finished. I realized I would …

A Summoner’s Tale Tutorial 07 Update
So, I’ve worked hard the past two nights on tutorial 07 in my new series, A Summoner’s Tale. Well, it wasn’t too hard last night because I had to be up very early. Tonight I made much more progress. However, there is one thing that isn’t very well-behaved. Once it is, it won’t take much …
New MonoGame Tutorial – Summoner’s Tale 06

Also, it added the last important control needed in creating the editor, a text box. I may add a check box during the next tutorial, as I use …
