Well, I did a lot of work on the Q*bert tutorial over the weekend. It is more of an eBook than a tutorial. I could publish it as it is. However, I want to make it more of a full game. The gameplay is working, and I want to add a few bells and whistles, though. I haven’t implemented the enemies that go across the pyramid. I will look into that tomorrow.

What’s Next

Well, I’m going to wrap up the Q*bert project and publish it. Once that is done, I’m going to work on updating Eyes of the Dragon to the latest version of MonoGame. Also, I’m going to combine all of the tutorials into one, a massive eBook. I found another classic game that I want to write a tutorial or eBook on. I have a fond memory of playing Mr. Do when I was in high school.

My Projects

I have done a bit of work on Realms. I created a virtual machine to use as a server. I verified communication between it and my computer. I will be starting to take a more in-depth look at playing over a network. The game plays well enough locally. I’ve even revived hotseat game play.

Final Thoughts

I am a very busy woman, and I don’t always have the time that I would like to work on tutorials and my projects. Working to buy food and pay bills always seems to come first. I hope someday to not have to worry so much about it.

Good luck with your game programming adventures!
