A new year, a new fire under the kettle. I haven't really been working on XNA since I posted my submission to DreamBuildPlay of '08. I took a nice vacation to Japan for 2.5 weeks, and caught up on some gaming that has been stacking up on me. Since the turn of this new year, I have been getting the itch...

Back in the XNA Saddle... →

Ok, so I came up with this crazy idea during lunch at work on Friday... It was to try and create a game over the weekend and submit it for the Dream Build Play competition. The game is rather simple in nature, and I think it turned out pretty well. The play area has 4 colored bars that run right to left...

I wasn't quite satisfied with the design I started with for GameDevKicks.com . When I first started I was thinking of trying to keep it nice and small, but the more data I threw at it, the more I thought it should be a bit bigger. So I updated the theme and made it wider, instead of fitting a 800x600...

Wow, it's sure has been a while. I have started a few different side projects other than XNA. I finally have got back to my TileMap Engine, and have made great progress to what I before in the first version. I have fixed my 2d RenderTarget issues, and added a few new features. I have even started to...

Redoing TileMap Engine in XNA 2.0 →

r0idz, Now with MiniMap goodness! →

I've been dabbling in TorqueX for a bit now, and I have started a new project to port a flash game I made back in college into XNA using TorqueX. The game is named r0idz, and you can probably guess by the name, it is similar to "Asteriods". I am currently working on finishing up the ship's...

Ok, I have learned something today. I recently switched my main computer's OS to Vista Ultimate from XP Pro...and now the Tile Engine I am working on doesn't render like it should. Here's the scoop. Nvidia's graphics card in Vista (I'm assuming it is a driver issue, since it worked fine on the same hardware...

RenderTarget2d size issues... →

I have been working on this tilemap engine for a bit off and on, and recently started to implement it with a 2d camera. I had it all working from some examples I dissected, regurgitated, and mixed in with some cyber wizardry. There was only 1 slight issue. When I went to rotate the map, or zoom in or...
