My Game Programming Adventures including projects and tutorials
Pokemon inspired tutorial series using the MonoGame framework.
Learn MoreEyes of the Dragon is top down RPG tutorial series based on the MonoGame framework.
Learn MoreFirst, 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 […]
Keep on Trekking I will be honest. I don’t have a lot in the gas tank tonight. So, I am going to be brief. I have uploaded tutorial 6 in my Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial series to my Google Drive. I dubbed this one: Keep on Trekking. No, not Star Trekking. Just being […]
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 […]
More on Mobile I have finished the 5th installment in my Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial series. For those who can work with iOS, I added instructions on how to get started. I also added how to work with animated sprites. Finally, I wanted to cover handling movement. However, that is a tutorial in […]
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 […]
Going Mobile! I have finished the next tutorial in the A Summoner’s Tale tutorial series. As the title suggests, I dive into going mobile. Not only do I cover adding an Andriod project, but I also cover adding an iOS project for those who can build one. I go over the challenges of iOS and […]
I have just published tutorial 04 in my Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial series. This tutorial is all about the tile engine. It is almost a direct port from my game, Silver Prophet. However, there are a few subtle differences. For example, I allow for scaling the map and having a free-moving camera in […]
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 would love to add iOS. Unfortunately, I am in a bit of a pickle. I can’t get iOS to build on my MacBook. Also, I cannot pair my Windows computer with my MacBook either. Since I need my MacBook to compile an iOS project, I’m dead in the water. I’ve spent many hours […]
