VB.NET Game Programming Tutorial (XNA) - PART 5e: Tile Mapping & World Design (Visual Basic .NET)

TUTORIAL 5 - In this segment we will be designing a world screen, map base, and tile class. We will then create a simple island terrain with mountains.

In this intermediate Visual Basic .NET game programming series we'll be exploring many of the exciting game development features that XNA 4.0 provides. We'll jump right into setting up project for a Super Nintendo styled RPG game.

In all honesty, I'm still quite new to XNA and I'm just sharing what I learn. Thankfully, I've met some very helpful people along the way that inspired me to keep going. :-D

I'm an IT director/SQL DBA/Network Admin/Help Desk/Systems Engineer for a medium size business. I WISH I was a professional programmer.

Would be soooo much better than what I deal with from day to day... :-P

[AardaerimusDAritonyss]

Absolutely. :-)

Deserved friend. I guess you know enough of XNA. Did you some complex game? Oh, sorry for my english, i'm from Argentina!

Ah, it would be great to talk and share ideas with you, if you want of course, without compromise. Can add me in Gmail or other means. I mean to speak faster! =D
