XNADevelopment.com - The Wizard: Part Two (2.0)

thewizardjumping I have just posted part two in the Wizard series. This series is covering adding movement and actions to a sprite. You can head on over to XNADevelopment.com to check out The Wizard: Part 2- Making A Sprite Jump. Part two covers adding the code needed to the project to get your sprite jumping around the screen.

After working through the tutorial, don't be afraid to modify and play with the code. That's one of the best ways to learn. If you get things messed up too badly, you can always delete the entire folder and re-download it from the site. The source code is always provided just for that reason.

Feedback, as always is encouraged and makes me purr like a kitten.

Thanks Simon! Yeah, I'm much happier with the way the images are turning out this time around.

I have a year of practice now with Gimp, I think I've improved just a bit.

I have been doing business oriented .net/c# programming for a while and I always wanted to get into some game programming for some fun. It really always intrigued me. These tutorials are awesome. Thanks a lot!

Hi, I like your tutorial and I edited it to include acceleration in the jump. I really just hacked it rather than added it in properly. Here is an example of the hackiness of it:

base.Update(theGameTime, mSpeed += mAccel, mAccel, mDirection);

It looks really nice though. I think it would nice to include an Advanced Jumping tutorial that uses acceleration to make the jumps look natural.

For starters, I wanna thank you George for your excelent tutorials. They're great and easy to follow!

Once I started displaying my cat (from my game project) I couldn't stop until I made him jump. So congrats for making this really fun, I'm really falling in love with XNA.

BTW John, can you please tell us your experience with accelerated jumps? I'd LOVE to try that. That and a lot of more stuff, like animating jumps and movement and things like that. :D

I was wondering how you could get the screen to follow the wizard if he went off screen.
