Computer Woes

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. They would all give me the beep code that the memory wasn’t right. So, I tried three different sets of RAM. The beeps continued. …

New Android Tutorials!

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 …

New Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 Tutorial – Part 17

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. …

Hectic Day Yesterday

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 …

Another Busy Day

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 …

Quick Note

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

I Will Be Brief

It is getting on the late side, considering I get up around 5:00 am. I just want to get ready for bed and drift off to sleep. I made a promise to myself not to miss days when it can be avoided, though. So, I will be brief. What’s Next? Nothing has changed in that …

Not Much Progress

So, I’m a big Magic: The Gathering fanatic, but I haven’t played in six years. I want to get back into it, and the nearest shop only offers friendly commander on Fridays. I got rid of a lot of my decks and cards, so I need to get enough cards to build a commander deck. …

Still Slow Going

As the heading says, progress on the next tutorial is happening, just very slowly. Partly due to some strange rendering issues and having to spend a fair chunk of the day working. Still, I did make some progress. I did need a break from programming after work, so I invested some time into playing video …

Progress, but Slow Going

I did make progress on the next A Summoner’s Tale tutorial today. It was slow going. Life would be so much easier if I had a WYSIWYG editor for forms. I will likely end up creating one at some point. With how slow going it was, I decided to take a break and do something …
