This was a decent week for progress.
Moved to gpu skinning because I felt the lag in debug mode. All better now.
Tried a couple of modern state machines from github and codeProject to maybe improve input handling which was something of a fail.
It just wasn't better than the bitfield system…
Last week a nice 2D Beat-em-up tutorial for GoDot appeared in the forum.
Enjoyed that. Thank you.
Now I want to do it in 3D. So, started thinking about the assets needed.

Today's topic is my drop in game state manager system for moving between game screens such as an introduction sequence, main menu hierarchy, game play and first say on app termination. I …
This is of yet a place holder blog entry which I intend to edit as I progress. This go around I'll be using the software pixel plotter I mentioned in a previous blog entry. At this time of writing, all I have is my napkin design concept, which I think I really have something here.... you know...th…
Took an active break with the challenges but happily watched this last year. Pretty cool what's happening in this space on the site and curious now about the challenge fork that has recently appeared. Lots of good things happening on gamedev.net - hope to meet more new people that share the same i…
This challenge was a good run because of
- Implementing coroutine with IEnumerator and yield return
- Simple Dictionary based texture manager
- Basic Particle Engine
- Ripped GameStateMachine from previous monogame project (joust)
- had fun making flare particles
- Did I mention, it's not cool unless it…
