So, I did work on tutorial 54 in my Eyes of the Dragon tutorial series today. I finished what I set out to do; fix the bug in levelling up a character, and update the character stats screen. I’m not satisfied with releasing that as a tutorial, though. There is not a lot of content, to be honest. Mostly it is repeated code. So, I will not be releasing it today. I want to find another topic to include in the tutorial before I release it. At this point, I’m not sure what I will write more to write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I need to take some time and find a short topic to include in this tutorial. Something is more than just simple code and requires some explanation. As always, if you have a suggestion, drop a comment, and I will cover that. After this tutorial, I will revisit the combat engine. Mostly, I will better balance it. I’m considering making it real-time instead of turn-based. My only concern there is having the sprites for it. I could do something with the massive image that I am using for inventory, I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t think that I will work on my projects today. Instead, I think I will kick back and watch a movie, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. That will depend on how my eye fares. I had a problem watching Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring last night. After that, I will definitely be playing a bit of Magic The Gathering Arena. I have a black and white deck that I enjoy playing. I was playing it before it became a top decklist. I might use my draft token, though. I will see how I feel after the movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m not happy with the latest tutorial as it stands now. I could put it up into my Google Drive. However, it feels like the reader will be left wanting more. For that reason, I am holding off putting it up. I want it to be a best-effort, not a half effort. I just don’t know what I will include at this point. I will have to play the game a bit and see what I come up with to add. I’ve considered adding another type of mob: a warlock. The warlock would drop things that wizards and priests could use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I mentioned earlier, please drop a comment if there is something you would like to see covered. I will do my best to cover the topic. So, please keep coming back to the blog for the latest news on my tutorials and other goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Good luck with your game programming adventures.
