Sanjay Madhav has a great series of articles going on over at InformIT where he walks through building an Arkanoid clone from scratch using MonoGame.
I was hoping to get my son more interested in programming by going through the articles with him, but he seems to be more intent on playing games than writing them today. It does look like the articles would be good starter material though, as they offer instant gratification in that they get the basics up and running with minimal coding.
I wanted to play with flibitijibibo’s MonoGame-SDL2 on Linux some more, so I went through the first three parts (the fourth and final article will be released next week) by myself.
