My Game Programming Adventures including projects and tutorials
So, the title says it all. I’m feeling frustrated today. Mainly, it is the spam comments on the blog that I have to keep trashing. The spam has been going on for a month, and frankly, I’m tired of it. It wouldn’t be so bad if it were from the same email all the time. […]
I have just shared tutorial 57 in my MonoGame RPG tutorial series Eyes of the Dragon. This tutorial picks up where the last two left on: real-time combat. In addition, this tutorial covers creating hotkeys and being able to activate spells and talents from hotkeys. Unfortunately, though, you still don’t actually cast the spell or […]
So, I had more time on my hands yesterday than I had anticipated. For that reason, I decided to work on the following tutorial in my MonoGame RPG tutorial series Eyes of the Dragon. This tutorial continues with real-time combat. It covers mobs attacking the player. Also, I demonstrate how to heal the player over […]
So, after making my post yesterday, I decided to start work on tutorial 55 in my Eyes of the Dragon tutorial series. I got a good chunk of it done. This morning the writing bug was still in me, so I finished the tutorial. This tutorial starts with moving to real-time combat against mobs. What […]
So, I’ve been taking it easy the past week while waiting for my new glasses to come in. Hopefully, they will resolve the problems I have had reading screens. Unfortunately, they didn’t arrive this week, but I hope they will arrive before next weekend. It feels like it is taking a long time for the […]
So, today was a better day than the rest of the week. I think it is because I got a reasonably restful night’s sleep for a change. Still, one night does not make up for many. I will need a couple more nights before I am back to normal. My weekend is shaping up to […]
As the title states, it has been a bit of a rough week so far. I won’t go into all of the details, but home life has been challenging. In addition, one of the contracts we have been waiting on at work came through today. So, I will have a lot more to work on […]
I have decided to publish MonoGame RPG tutorial 54 now rather than adding more content to it. This tutorial fixes the health/mana/stamina bug and redesigns the screen to display character stats. I decided to publish it now instead of waiting until I added more content because I’m not sure when I will have the chance […]
So, I did work on tutorial 54 in my Eyes of the Dragon tutorial series today. I finished what I set out to do; fix the bug in levelling up a character, and update the character stats screen. I’m not satisfied with releasing that as a tutorial, though. There is not a lot of content, […]
Today I got a bit of bad news. I’ve been having problems with my vision, in particular with double vision. It is part of the reason I have been absent. It takes a lot of effort to see the screen and see the characters correctly. Unfortunately, the eye doctor didn’t have any answers today. So, […]
