My Game Programming Adventures including projects and tutorials
Today was a date day, so I didn’t work on a tutorial. Instead, I spent the day with Shadow Monsters. I’m pleased to announce that our relationship is on the mend. I took her shopping, bought her lunch, went to a movie, and all of the typical date-day things. She is truly glowing. She has […]
I have just finished tutorial 14 in my MonoGame RPG tutorial series on my Google Drive. This tutorial introduces mobs and the concept of encounter layers. An encounter is a planned interaction between the player and a mob. Normally, that interaction will result in combat. There is the potential for other outcomes, though. The tutorial […]
Three-day weekend and nothing that needs doing. There are a few things that I would like to accomplish and do, but nothing that needs to be done. No travelling, no running all over the city, just some much-needed downtime. I can take my time and enjoy things. In fact, I just finished getting to know […]
I’ve had a lot going on lately. I haven’t had the opportunity to switch to Visual Studio and do a little programming for fun. Yes, I know people think you are strange for programming for fun. It is fun, though. Typing in the commands, seeing your work take shape on the screen, and playing the […]
I am just popping in to drop a quick note. I was busy for most of the evening, so I did no game programming of any kind. Tomorrow looks to be more of the same. It is amazing how much time you use outside of work for appointments and such. What’s Next? When I get […]
I know I mentioned yesterday that I was going to work on a new Forest Rush tutorial. I envisioned what I would have to do, and it wasn’t as straightforward as I expected. So, instead, I worked on the next Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial. I have just uploaded and shared the next that […]
Today was a slow day. I did a little work on Shadow Monsters. I looked at Eyes of the Dragon, and I was trying to decide where to go next. Also, I looked at Forest Rush. I need to make some adjustments to it to handle collision detection properly. Instead of using destination rectangles, I […]
I have finally uploaded a new tutorial! This tutorial adds a character generator to the game. It isn’t final, but I couldn’t add more to it as it was getting long enough. Characters will use the SPECIAL system based on a ten-sided die. To check if an action occurs, you roll a D10. If the […]
This is going to be a brief post as there is not much new. I did work on the next Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial. It is going slow because it is a work night and other factors. I hope to wrap it up tomorrow, but that may not happen. It will happen on […]
It feels like all I’ve done this month is post blog entries on the status of the next Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial. But, to be honest, it has been a bit of a rough month. Excuses aside, I have made good progress on the next Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial. I now […]
