Pevensie: A MonoGame Example

This is a basic example of a game created using the MonoGame Game Engine (link). This is just a fun personal project, it is untelling when it will be updated. Still, I think it provides some basic examples for some useful things in MonoGame.

Features

• Move a pumpkin around the screen
• Change the color of the square
• GamePad support
• Keyboard support
• Travel at Walk and Run speeds

Development Environment

Software

• VS Code (technically VSCodium)
• Arch Linux (I use Arch, btw)
• .NET 7
• Mono

Hardware

• NVIDIA GTX 1660
• Intel 13700KF
• 32GB DDR5 RAM

Humanware

• Slacks/jeans/hoodie from Target
• Lattes from Dunkin

Notes

• You need to run dotnet tool install --global dotnet-mgcb-editor to install the mgcb editor. run it with mgcb-editor
• I think all you need to build is dotnet7 and mono. For Arch (I use Arch, btw):

    sudo pacman -S dotnet-runtime-7.0 dotnet-sdk-7.0 mono

• And then just do dotnet build and then dotnet run
• Or, if you use VS Code with the C#/DOTNET extension, you can just build/launch with the debugger. Which you should do.

To Do List

• MetaGameState as profile save \n keep track of jiggies collected, total deaths, which levels are opened, bosses killed, etc.
• LevelObject for levels
• TileObject for tiles to construct levels
• Serialize everything as JSON (MetaGameState, LevelObject?)
• Read graphics settings from a config
• Add Texture2D Background property to LevelObject
• Graphics Layer class (or something similar)
