Ok, so I know it's been a good deal of time since I wrote the last Tutorial Post. I apologize, it's been super-hectic with my job and I've been dealing with a car that's been broken and just life, in general. On top of that I've not been sure if I should even continue with these Tutorial Posts. Then it struck me yesterday that I don't like the idea of being a quitter... I've quit too many things in my life already for my liking, and I want to finish this game, regardless of whether it takes me a very long time to do so.
Then I thought of my followers and how much help these Posts seem to be doing as I reread your comments. It's because you guys seem to be craving these Lessons that I continue. So, yet again, here we stand on the precipice of learning. Diving in...
So What's Up For Today?
Well, class, I think I'm going to just synchronize with the lessons. To do this, I'm going to copy over the code snippets for each Class File that I've generated so far and right below here will be a video of me playing the game. It still doesn't have monsters or treasures popping up, but it does randomly throw in a pit to kill the character (although I have no graphic in place for it yet.
I won't be explaining any of the concepts or code specifically. Please comment afterwards to let me know what code we have already learned and what code looks new. In addition, if you can comment with an explanation of the new code bits to tell the class what it does, you'll receive a 100% upvote on that comment.
So here you go!

Program.cs
This is the main program that Visual Studio sets up on it's own.
This is what it looked like to begin with:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace SimpleDungeonCrawlerGame
{
static class Program
{
///
/// The main entry point for the application.
///
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.Run(new GameClass());
}
}
}
and this is what it looks like after I monkeyed with it to keep cycling through on death-and-restart:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace SimpleDungeonCrawlerGame
{
static class Program
{
///
/// The main entry point for the application.
///
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
GameClass game = new GameClass();
//Application.Run(new GameClass());
}
}
}
