I honestly haven’t had the time to look at the Centipede tutorial. I’m still struggling with the centipede splitting and changing direction on collision with a mushroom or when it reaches the bottom of the screen. There are just some use cases that aren’t working. I do want to work on tutorials, though. I might …
Busy Week
Just a quick post. I do plan on finishing the Centipede tutorial. However, a week away from work has led to not much time in the evenings for tutorials. Things are calming down, though. I hope that starting this evening, I will have more time available in the evenings. So, keep coming back because I …
Short Weekend
It was a rather quick weekend. I didn’t work on the Centipede tutorial. I’m having slight problems with the centipede splitting and changing directions. I’m going to continue working on it, though. Shortly after I finish posting this, actually. I might work on fleas, spiders and scorpions. I was working on a game, Shadow Monsters, …
Been a Couple of Days
It’s been a few days since I posted. That doesn’t mean that I haven’t been working on the Centipede tutorial, because I have. I made the graphics myself. I’m not a great graphics artist, though, so they aren’t perfect. But they are functional. The coding is going well. It is great to be making games …
Next Tutorial – Centipede
After much thought, I’ve decided what the next tutorial I’m going to work on is. It will be Centipede, an old favourite of mine. It is a shoot ’em up where you use the bug blaster to destroy centipedes that come from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen. If you …
I’m Back!
It’s been a long time since I’ve been around. Life until recently has been hard. However, that is going to change. I’m looking at getting back into write tutorials, and working on my own games. I’ve opened my game, Summoner’s Tale, for the first time in a while and have been making improvements to it. …
Another Classic – Mr. Do
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, …
More on Q*bert
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 …
Q*Bert
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, …
Classic Games
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 …
