I have noticed from the stats on this Blog that quite alot of people are reading the pages :)

However very few of you are leaving comments or subscribing.

I'm very interested to read your comments and find out if my posts have been of use to you or things I could change to make them better.

So please leave comments!

Someone on youtube asked me the question:

"How can I make X happen when a character has 0 lives left".

For me the solution I would use is to create a Lives variable on the playable character and have a method I call.

Example:

       private int _Lives;

        public int Lives
        {

            get { return _Lives; }
            set
            {
                if (value  <= 0)
                {
                    CallGameIverMethod();
                }

                else
                {
                    _Lives = value;
                }

            }

        }

I hope this helps someone :)

Just a small update so people know I'm still working on the project...

I need to create a menu for my game for "in-game" action selection.

So far I have managed to create a menu project that my main game can reference.

You have a Menu List and Menu Items (Most of the ideas have been borrowed from the game state management code).

Picture here:

As you can see my project also allows for Menu titles :)

The source code can now be found at:
