The Wizard: A new XNA tutorial covering 2D game character movement

I've posted a new tutorial over at XNA Development covering character movement in 2D games. This tutorial covers the basics of making a character move around, jump, duck and shoot. It also demonstrates using a tile sheet for your texture, simple animation, tracking character state and basic OO techniques.




This little demo game was a blast to make (I am particularly pleased with the way the Wizard turned out), I always make my own graphics and I happen to really like this one). XNA game development has definitely made making your own games very approachable. If you've ever had ANY interest in game development in the past but were put off by the difficulty and the steep learning curve in using DirectX, give XNA a go. It's amazing how far game development has come.

Chuck Wagon, please refrain from talking about yourself and comment on the tutorial.

Nice tutorial, though ... its kind of hard to input into a real game without more.

Really amazing job ..

Good job ;) and I'm waiting for your new tutorials .

By the way I have a question : in some of the tutorials like Not so healthy and Road not taken, is it possible to make them also in XNA 2.0 ?

Black Baron it is possible to do those in XNA 2.0, only some if none modification is needed.
