I have just finished writing tutorial 7 in my Eyes of the Dragon tutorial series. This tutorial adds some more GUI controls and creates the editor project. You can find the link to the tutorial on the Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 page. Also, you can use this direct link.

What’s Next?

I will continue with Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 on the editor. I hope to have that tutorial on the blog tomorrow, though it may be Monday or Tuesday. This tutorial will pick up where the last one left off. It will be on the map editor. The goal will be to have the map rendering in the editor. Depending on how long that takes, I may tackle open file dialogs and save file dialogs.

My Projects

Playing with Forest Rush has me inspired. I want to get back into my own games as well as my tutorials. They really are my games in the end, though. I spend as much time writing about them as I do writing them. I don’t think that I am ready to tackle Shadow Monsters or Silver Prophet. A good tower defence or platformer sounds good, though.

Final Thoughts

I am toying with the idea of writing a book and programming games with MonoGame. I’ve been looking at a site with reasonable rates for using their assets in my book. They may also allow me to use their assets in my tutorials. The last part is unclear; I will need some verification. Anyway, I will continue with my tutorials and game programming projects regardless of the book.

Good luck with your game programming adventures!
