My Game Programming Adventures including projects and tutorials
Okay, enough cliches. It was a dark and stormy night, though. It is the type of night that I would usually be coding up a storm. Tonight, though, I didn’t have it in me. I didn’t have writing in me either, or I would have worked on the next A Summoner’s Tale tutorial. What’s Next? […]
Well, no news is no news. So, what is the news? As far as tutorials are concerned, I need more time for the next one. I wanted to finish it this morning, but that didn’t work out. I had some surprise meetings that I had to do and get a website deployed. So, I’ve been […]
I am beyond frustrated with game programming today. I thought I was nearly finished coding for the next Eyes of the Dragon tutorial. But, man, was I fooled! First, I would make a change. That required a change somewhere else, which meant two over here. The trickle became a deluge. Soon, I could not remember […]
Today was a rather weird day. So, I didn’t get done what I expected. I have almost finished coding the next Eyes of the Dragon tutorial. However, I have not really done much in the way of writing. Part of this is because of my new project. More on that later. Anyway, back to the […]
First, it has been a really long day. I did manage to finish a website I needed to finish, though. Also, I did some work on Forest Rush. No, not from the tutorials. It is an endless running that I was writing. Well, it was more of an endless jumper. The player would jump from […]
So, I’ve been looking at adding a third tutorial series, though nowhere near as in-depth as a role-playing game. Though, a platformer can become humungous, just like a role-playing game. Indeed, many have role-playing elements. This series will be going more into real-time mechanics than what I have in mind for Eyes of the Dragon […]
I went into the day with every intention of publishing a new tutorial tonight. Sadly, that was not in the cards. I ended up having to take care of some business after work. I did finish it quickly, though. However, the division between Eyes of the Dragon and A Summoner’s Tale was more significant than […]
Movement Revisited I have just finished updating my site’s A Summoner’s Tale page with another tutorial. This tutorial continues with the idea of a cross-platform game that runs on potentially any platform supported by MonoGame. Since the game isn’t much of a game if the player can’t move, I implement tile-based movement using the keyboard […]
I have been working on the following Eyes of the Dragon tutorial. Sadly, I don’t see myself being able to finish it tonight. I’m about eighty percent of the way, but I have no gas left in the tank. If I hadn’t promised myself to post as often as possible, I probably wouldn’t be writing […]
Well, I had a great weekend. I’m happy to be back, though. I missed programming and writing. Still, I enjoyed my time away. I see that you have all been busy reading! That’s so good to see. I like that what I’m writing is having a positive impact on the MonoGame community. Don’t worry; it […]
