Wow, you started to make this tutorials only few days after I start with MonoGame. Would have been useful adding MonoGame in the title imo, it just doesn’t come up when you search it.

Thanks for making this tutorials. There is not many good MonoGame tutorials out there.

ddabrahim,

I forgot to add monogame on that tutorial (fixed now). It is tagged as monogame tho… I think they just have so few views that they are further down the list when searched for… Im sure that will change over time. Thank you for your kind words, but if you want to see the new ones when they come out just subscribe and they should eventually show up in your feed…

It has Random numbers, the Spider mob, and some clean up work.

This one starts the Building Classes off, makes projectiles view all AttackableObjects, adds a 2nd loss condition, and it does a bit of AI work.

Your tutorials are great. Really a great community contribution. I’m sure a lot of people starting with monogame will learn from these. I know I have.

Fantastic work! I was actually looking for an up-to-date tutorial for monogame (it’s been a few years since I used it for anything).

@BisectedBrioche

Thank you! I hope it helps!

Just out of curiosity what were you using Monogame for before?

Mostly just testing out ideas here and there (I went to uni to study games programming about a decade ago - which is where I learnt XNA - but I ended up dropping out). Now I want to try and actually build a serious project (or as serious as one person can manage, anyway).
