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 I had anticipated. So, that delayed my coding of it and my writing of it. I will work on that divide once I have finished here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On an unrelated note, I had an idea this morning. You might not want to keep coming back to the blog for the latest news on my tutorials. So, I’ve thought about restarting my newsletter. I would fire it off once a week, probably on Sunday, with what has changed over the past week. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Up next is tutorial six in Eyes of the Dragon 4.0. This tutorial covers moving the sprite and scrolling the map on all supported platforms. I have been toying with the idea of getting a Switch to write tutorials about that as well. However, I want to pick up a gamepad, so I can also write about that. I am sure I can find something that would work on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this point, I want to say what projects. I haven’t coded something substantial for me that is not a tutorial in what feels like a month. Instead, I’ve been working on things for work or tutorials. I do want to change that, though. Part of the problem is not knowing where to start. I think I need to write up a design document or something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t regret spending so much time on tutorials. On the contrary, it is quite the opposite. I’ve found that they have reignited a spark within me. As a result, I feel more alive than I have in the past year. I don’t mean to complain, but a lot in my life is not easy. Anyway, enough about that. I will end this here and encourage you to keep coming back to the blog for the latest news on my tutorials or wait on baited breathe for my new newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Good luck with your game programming adventures! I went into the day with every intention of publishing a new tutorial tonight. Sadly, that was not in the cards.
