I am just popping in to drop a quick note. I was busy for most of the evening, so I did no game programming of any kind. Tomorrow looks to be more of the same. It is amazing how much time you use outside of work for appointments and such. What’s Next? When I get …
Next Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 Tutorial! Part 13
I know I mentioned yesterday that I was going to work on a new Forest Rush tutorial. I envisioned what I would have to do, and it wasn’t as straightforward as I expected. So, instead, I worked on the next Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial. I have just uploaded and shared the next that …
Slow Day
Today was a slow day. I did a little work on Shadow Monsters. I looked at Eyes of the Dragon, and I was trying to decide where to go next. Also, I looked at Forest Rush. I need to make some adjustments to it to handle collision detection properly. Instead of using destination rectangles, I …

It was quite a week for me. I have been dragging my ass since I finished my project over the weekend. Note to self: It is no good to complete a project if it burns you out! It is a lesson I will remember next time a surprise crops up. On the topic of my …
