I recently ran into this minor problem when working with MonoGame, and I couldn’t find a guide that covered the entire process so I thought I would collect the different steps together here. First, after creating the 3D model in Sketchup (I was using the latest 2015 version), you should export the model in the …

Using Awesomium with MonoGame – Backspace
A problem with the code presented in my previous post is that it won’t work with the special case of the Backspace key, however it can still be handled with a few small additions, based on the code I found in this question on the Awesomium forums. I have changed my code to the following:

There are a lot of examples of Awesomium working in XNA out there, but none that I could find for MonoGame – and the XNA …

Generating Planets – Part Three – Traversing The Grid
A major problem with our subdivided icosahedron is that its a lot harder to move around the grid than it is with a simple square grid. Where in the latter you just increase the x or y co-ordinates to move through the array, our problem requires a more complex solution, one regrettably more complex than …

Generating Planets – Part Two – Terrain
So, in the previous post we generated our sphere, and in this post we are going to turn our smooth sphere into a planet with terrain. I am going to assume you already have a basic understanding of how fractal terrain generation works on a square grid, but if not you should first read this …

C# – Listing enumerations with their properties
A small supplementary post about how to list every element of an enumeration alongside a property derived from a method that uses the element. I encountered this problem when wanting to list the various biomes in my World Generation project alongside the color they were represented by on the terrain. The first step was to …
