I updated my MonoGame-Samples repo so that every Monday the CI will now build all the samples. Look here - github.com/CartBlanche/...
I've not tested every single download yet.
Download, Unzip the sample, then run "dotnet [SampleName].dll" & that should be enough to see it running. #MonoGame

Visual feedback on how long Pi will wait at each waypoint on his journey to complete that dungeon level. Added a nice pie fill (no shaders yet) that fills as the count-down timer goes from red to green. Pi's navigation needs tweaks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7YX...

It also has a single player Vs (dumb) "AI" player option too.

I've also been working on getting simple, LAN networking....working :). The XNA API mostly stays the same, but it uses modern Task & is all .NET. Create, Find & Joining a session on your LAN works. github.com/CartBlanche/... . This might become it's own repo at some point. 1/3

Didn't catch our AMA last Wednesday, then you missed Tom showing off what's possible with MonoGame and 3D today! This will become the foundation of an upcoming StartKit to encourage more people to use MonoGame for their 3D games. www.youtube.com/watch?v=se5t... (watch it in HD :) ).

Also part of last Wednesday's Open Hours was Tom showing Ascent's built in level editor. This allows for editing and testing the levels as you're flying around, for a really quick level design iteration loop. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX1z... (watch it in HD, if you can 🙂 ). #MonoGame
