#5 - Getting Started with MonoGame - Building Screens

[@jayroi1814]

These are great videos, I hope you continue with some more advanced stuff in the future. I've been a software engineer for almost 6 years but this stuff is presented in a clear and concise way with enough detail for beginner to intermediates to learn quickly imo, I think it could help a lot of people.

Appreciate you probably already know this but, If you press ctrl and scroll up on you mouse in the editor window it zooms in, worth doing this when you are typing code in real time. or explaining code blocks. Personally, though I always watch stuff like this on a laptop or pc in front of me, so I'm not bothered personally. As an aside you have a good presentation manner and speak clearly and I like the way you explain things.

I decided not to edit this as much, so there isn't as much zooming in on the code. I appreciate that this may not be what people want, so please let me know if you'd prefer me to zoom in on the code. In the meantime, if you struggled to read the content of this video, you can access it all at: github.com/Rixium/MyFirstRogueLike My microphone was fairly terrible in this, sorry! I'm planning on buying some better equipment this week, so should hopefully reduce the background noise. Thanks for watching! If you want more, Subscribe and Like! I appreciate any feedback, and questions. If any questions come up that may be worth sharing with others, I'll answer them within the next video.

My only wonder is that... If you're not using rectangle to scale the image, then adding adjustable screen resolutions means you need to manually adjust the image size each time. Which can be insane if you want the actual game sprites to scale, too. If you create the sprites at a "normal" aspect ratio, and only give the option to change the resolution to different sizes in that same aspect ratio, you should be able to use rectangle without warping your images, right?

Watching this on a TV is… well, not even possible. The lack of zoom is 🤮
