I&#8217;ve done a lot of them and I don&#8217;t want to burn out. As a result I will work on my projects. When I come back to tutorials it will be back to Eyes of the Dragon for a few tutorials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My main focus will be on online learning as I want to get my skills up and back to the work force. Being off has been good but I&#8217;m really wanting the day to day and working on interesting projects. In between lectures I want to work on Quintessential Duels. If not the Android build some on the Windows build. I&#8217;ve made some changes to the game, in terms of the menu structure. Instead of options being a menu item there is a fly out menu that has the options. They will include sound on\/off, music on\/off, and desired graphics mode. Also, there will be a full screen\/windowed option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Things are really coming together. I&#8217;m making progress on my professional goals and personal goals.  I&#8217;m working at getting my search engine results up and rank higher in Google. I&#8217;d like to get more and more people visiting the site and learning about MonoGame. Therefore, I am writing more and more and putting more and more effort into the tutorials and the site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ninth MonoGame For The Absolute Beginner I have just posted the ninth MonoGame For The Absolute Beginner tutorial to the web site.
