My Game Programming Adventures including projects and tutorials
My eBook on creating a clone of Q*bert is not live! I’m calling it an eBook instead of a tutorial due to the length of the tutorial. Rather than publish multiple tutorials, I opted to publish it all at once. You can find the link to the tutorial on my Classic Games page, or you […]

It took longer than anticipated, but I have uploaded tutorial 16 in my Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial series. This tutorial continues where the last one left off, on encounters. You can now attack the bat, and the bat can swing back. You can find the link to the tutorial on my blog’s Eyes […]
The title says it all. I’m sorry for not posting regularly over the weekend. I’ve had a lot on my mind. However, I did manage some work on the next Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial. More on that shortly. I don’t see myself posting on Fridays anymore. I’ve found a charming spot to play […]

Now, the tutorial. This tutorial works with encounters with mobs. You can trigger an encounter with the bat by walking up […]
