My Game Programming Adventures including projects and tutorials
Earlier today, I put tutorial 09 up on my site’s A Summoner’s Tale page. Unfortunately, I ran out of time and had to switch gears to work. This tutorial adds new controls for use in the editor and in the game. They are a selector that will cycle through items left and right. The other […]
Well, I’ve been working hard on tutorial 09 in my A Summoner’s Tale series. Unfortunately, while I would like to finish it tonight, I don’t see it happening. There is just too much to do yet. However, it will be up tomorrow for sure. I have the code written and working. After that, it is […]
This is a quick tutorial. It covers how to target multiple resolutions in the game. Also, it demonstrates how to save game settings in the user’s application data folder. I know it works on PC and Mac. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Linux box to test it against. However, I have an old laptop that […]
I have published tutorial 07 in my A Summoner’s Tale tutorial series. This tutorial goes back to the game. It adds an animated sprite for the player to control. It also covers moving the sprite and having the map scroll with the character. You can find the link to the tutorial on the A Summoner’s […]
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 […]
I did end up finishing tutorial six in my MonoGame series: A Summoner’s Tale. This tutorial focused on fixing some tearing that was happening when rendering controls. 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 […]
I have not yet finished tutorial six in the A Summoner’s Tale series. However, I did work on it and made some progress on it. I would say I’m about a third of the way through it. I will be adding a text box for text input. That works splendidly but is not written up. […]
I was hard at work today on tutorial five, 05, in my A Summoner’s Tale series to my Google Drive. Like the last tutorial, this tutorial works on graphic user interface elements. It adds a new control to the project, a list box. It also adds forms that we will be using to create the […]
Today was a quiet day for me, so I spent some of the day working on tutorial 04 in my A Summoner’s Tale series. Well, I finished the tutorial and uploaded it to my Google Drive and the project. I have also pushed it to the GitHub repository. This tutorial adds in some GUI controls, […]
So, I had some extra time the past few days, and I will be posting the third tutorial in my A Summoner’s Tale tutorial shortly. This tutorial adds in the input manager and two game states. It demonstrates how to add a timer to the game and how to scroll the map. You can find […]
