Well do not say I am not a caring Guy
From the archive
This post was written in 2006. Technology has moved on a fair bit since then, so some of the tools, links and advice here may well be out of date. Treat it as a piece of history rather than a current guide.
As life moves on it seems I get less and less done, even while using the XNAhomebrew contest to kick my rear into gear (hey that rhymes) and get Hack-1 off the ground, first 2 weeks full steam ahead…… Last 2 weeks Nada.
As you’ve probably seen from earlier comments I made the mistake of finding other things to look at (very bad.) but needless to say I’m rushing back in and have even been componentising (is that a word, my spell checker doesn’t seem to think so) a lot of my code to make re-assembly into other things a lot easier.
2nd thing I’ve been doing is my least favorite thing, graphics. The Editor window is almost ready and the Main Game screen is 1/2 way there, the components that will use these are not stuck with my initial version and can support multiple within the game, my modding hat on for later.
On another note, just a few mentions of interesting stuff I’ve come up with this week.
Derek over at www.threesixbox.com seems to be collecting a lot of XNA goodness, so I’d suggest a good look.
In case you’re struggling to find stuff out there I’d suggest trying this new search engine http://msdewey.com/ , if nothing else it’ll make you smile while you search (thanks to letskilldave for that little titbit)
Interesting developments from http://www.paradeofrain.com/ who has a little 2d Camera system tutorial growing
Lastly the coding4fun site is almost ready to shed its skin and don its new look, wander over to Coding4Fun v2 Update- Final Designs to see the latest productions and hopefully more content when it goes live (so we’re promised)
Dat’s all for now, back to drawing board…
