I'm Moving, Virtually

First, sorry for going dark. I just haven't had the focus or energy to put into tutorials or the blog or personal projects really. Second, the exciting news. Game Programming Adventures is moving to a new home! I'm in the progress of migrating from Blogger to WordPress. I've got most of the content moved. I lost some of the comments on the pages because they wouldn't export. The new URL will be:

https://cynthiamcmahon.ca/blog/ 

You can head over now and take a peek. The home page needs a bit of work yet. I need to create the images for the slider as I don't have images in the suggested resolution and the ones I do have are in different resolutions. I'll probably spend time doing that tomorrow.

Dragon's Claw Status Update

 I've been working on the next Dragon's Claw tutorial in between settling in to my new place. I'm trying to find a way to handle making a mass update to the data layer rather than just spewing out 1400 lines of code. I have an idea on what to do but it is a bit complex. I think the complex route is better than having you try and copy/paste over 1400 lines of code. The tutorial is about have a back end running that processes the queues of troops to be trained. For the back end I use a NodeJS script that calls an MVC controller action every hour, or tick. I should have the tutorial up over the weekend.

All Moved In

I am all moved in, though not 100% unpacked. I got the WiFi up and running on my computer so tomorrow I should be slowly easing back into working on projects and tutorials. I have some ideas on non-MonoGame tutorials that I'd like to do in relation to web development. I think my next tutorial, or two, will be on Dragon's Claw.
