Grr… lost my admin tools again, due to a month of being absent?
Several topics are not correctly listed, and then noticed I couldn’t edit the category…
Oh well, try to help and unable to do so… ‘sigh’
Anyway, on a positive note, I should be back to studying again soon!
EDIT
Oh and almost forgot to mention, almost died last week in a RTC [Road Traffic Collision] where the driver was entirely at fault, YAY IDIOTS! so, body in pain but still alive
Anybody wondering if the XNA books are still worth investing into? I bought pretty much all of them… hoping to get around to it soon… and may start building a tutorial of sorts, soon…ish… any interest?
There are two main threads and Extended has it’s own filter on the forum…
Yeah I linked the thread which links the last post, have to click the top post for it to link the top, can get confusing sometimes haha…
I suggest getting familiar with the basics before delving into the extensions and third party ‘add-ins’ if we can give them such a title…
You can code whatever you are capable of and create your own add-ins or extensions or engines, there are many useful resources out there [mainly books] that can help you have an idea of what is involved in making a game engine and the like…
Only you are the limit to what you can create…
Also in case I missed it, Welcome to the forums!
Halfway reading your last post I felt like you were writing a book or article or something, but figured you were just getting started with coding, right?
Thank you for the information! Hm, looks like I accidentally deleted my post while fiddling around with editing it on my phone…
Thank you for the welcome. Yes, I am new here. I’m fairly experienced in programming, but not game programming (I’ve made small games with Flash and Phaser). Right now I’m just trying out different frameworks/engines to see what I like but do not know what I’m doing yet.
So, it appears as, ANY MAC will do for VS2017, to just access the build tools on the Mac, looks like I will be getting a MacBook Air soon… cheapest, naturally… time wise, not flustered… but it does mean I can write those XNA dev tutorials soon…
So many projects, so little time… I took a little break from my ARPG prototype to write a tutorial, but am struggling with a text. Doesn’t help that rbwhitaker and riemer’s tutorials are far better already… X)
When I finish beginner’s tutorial, I’ll need to deal with the animations in game. Hoo boy. At least @nkast wrote some tools which will ease it a lot… (shoutout to your Aether )
