It covers getting set up with MonoGame in Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code. It also talks about key game programming concepts instead of making a game. You can find the link to the tutorial on the <a href=\"https:\/\/cynthiamcmahon.ca\/blog\/monogame-tutorials\/\">MonoGame Tutorial<\/a> page of my site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m thinking of returning to either Shadow Monsters or Eyes of the Dragon. It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve looked at either of them. I might spawn new versions of them and fix things that weren&#8217;t as good as they could have been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been focusing more on writing than coding the past month. I enjoy both equally. That is why I write tutorials, it combines both things that I love. I&#8217;ve started the third and final book in my series about Natasha, a young transgender woman. It follows her story from her early transition to getting her gender reassignment surgery. The second book is published on Medium and I am considering publishing the prequel there as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is good to be back in the saddle writing tutorials. I hope to carve more time out for it, like I did this evening. Otherwise, I only have about an hour a day to devote to tutorials and my projects. It&#8217;s hard to get a lot done in that time frame. I encourage you to keep visiting the site, though. I plan on adding more posts and tutorials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good luck with your game programming adventures!<br>Cynthia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have just finished uploading a new basic tutorial on MonoGame.
