I have just shared tutorial 23 in my MonoGame RPG tutorial series Eyes of the Dragon. As I mentioned earlier on the blog, this tutorial is about creating the level editor. It is a long one at 47 pages because I merged parts A and B of the original tutorials. I use a NuGet package called MonoGame.Forms.DX for rendering the map. You can find the link to the tutorial on the MonoGame RPG Tutorials<\/a> page of the site. Also, it can be found at this direct link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s Next<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I was thinking of working on an HTML5 tutorial next. However, I am going to do the next MonoGame RPG tutorial instead. This next tutorial, and the following one, will both be on the editor as well. I do want to do some HTML5 tutorials though. One that I want to do is on creating responsive games and games at different resolutions. Since a browser is not the same as a window you have to be able to hot-reload when the browser resizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While I want to work on Quintessential Duels today it is not going to happen. I just feel blocked by it. I think the time away from it has been good. It just means I’m changing my deadline to something a little more realistic. Finishing it in three weeks is a little too ambitious. I’m going to spend some time with a calendar and plot out milestones. Trying to be Agile means adapting to change. I have a backlog of work items though and will soon be taking items off of it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I will be working on is Psi.io, my new HTML5 engine. I do need to document it, quite a bit, seeing how I plan to share it. I’d rather start that now than put it off much later. Since I am sharing it I want something more formal than I’d normally use when commenting code. After all, if somebody can’t understand it they won’t use it. I will also start work on the tutorial\/quick start guide that will go with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now it uses the 2D context for rendering. I’m thinking of switching that to have the option of using the 3D context. That will make it a more robust engine but will also increase development time. Time will tell which route I go with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tutorial 23 wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It took considerably less time than I had originally estimated. I will be starting work on tutorial 24 tomorrow or possibly this evening. Now I am going to spend some time on Psi.io. So, keep coming back for more tutorials and other goodness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
