My Game Programming Adventures including projects and tutorials
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, […]
I have been working on Q*bert when I have been able to. I do have a pretty busy schedule, though, and time to devote to games is very lean. I have been making fairly good progress. I have Q*bert traversing the pyramid. I have the colour of the cubes working wonderfully. I have the red […]
I’m planning on doing another tutorial. I’ve been looking at classic games from when I was younger, and all the time I spent in the arcade. There are a number that I want to make a clone of. Games like Pole Position, Pac Man, Q*Bert, Dig Dug and more. What’s Next As title eludes to, […]
I have added a new page to the blog devoted to tutorials for creating clones of classic games. The first new tutorial is for Pong, one of the oldest video games. You can find the tutorial on the Classic Games page of the blog. Since it is also a classic, I added a link to […]
First, I am back. I was away because of computer problem. I re-built my computer and it would not work. I tried three different motherboards and none of them would work.

I have added two new Android tutorials to my site. The first tutorial goes over the basics of setting up your environment for developing games with MonoGame. The second tutorial covers creating fireworks as a brief introduction to Android. You can find the links to the tutorials on the Android MonoGame Tutorials page of my […]
Hey there! Just wanted to update you on my progress with the Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial series. I’ve completed tutorial 17 and have uploaded it to my Google Drive. This tutorial focused on encounters with mobs, and I’m happy to say that combat is now done through moves instead of random generated attacks. […]
As I said on Sunday, yesterday was a very busy day. I had a lot going on, even after work. Unfortunately, I did not have the energy to post here. However, I did manage a little work on the next Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial. More on that shortly. I will mention that I […]
First, sorry about missing yesterday. It was a rather taxing day. So, today was a rather busy day. Before leaving for the Magic: The Gathering pre-release event, I worked on the newest Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial. I got a nice piece of it finished. Then, there was the event. It is the first […]
Instead of working on a post, I’m going to work on the tutorial. Just letting you know I haven’t forgotten. I just don’t have anything new to add. Anyway, I will be back tomorrow with another episode of Game Programming Adventures. Cynthia
