Tutorial Portfolio
Ever since my first job tutoring math, I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge with other people, and helping others figure out potentially difficult problems.
I've been creating written and video tutorials since 2008, even though they're quite time consuming and bring in almost no money.
Beginner's Guide to Game Programming
This is a tutorial I began to teach people who already know their C++ basics how to take their next step into graphical application programming in the form of a game.
BGtGP is different from other tutorials, as it doesn't step the
user through every step required to make a game- it gives the
user the puzzle pieces (such as, how to draw graphics, play sound,
handle input), a general guideline (basic game structure), and
challenge them to spend time putting the pieces together.
This way, I believe they learn more than by copying code.
Quotes
i never thought i would attempt to write a game. ...then i found the Sphere RPG Engine... (that entertained me for awhile)... ...then I found Moosader's YouTube tutorials... ..The first game I finished was Pickin' Sticks with SDL... (it even used a joystick)

...And 5 months ago, I really took off with Moosie's board, when I found it. I mean, when I found Moosie's board, 5 months ago, I got back into coding hard core. This was the community I wished I found years ago.
...I like to hear it from Moosander's point of view. It is far less dry then reading it in a book, PDF or webpage. At least she knows how to make it sound interesting. Heck, she could tell someone to go to hell, and she would make them look forward to the trip.

I just want to say, thank you for taking your time and making great game programming tutorials. I greatly appreciate this. I was trying to use OpenGL for graphics, but no one gave great or continuous tutorials on it. Go i went to Allegro, and found you. You make it very easy to understand and I am thankful for this.
