I dunno what to tell you. I nearly drowned in a pool when I was 8 and I was left with some slight damage to my brain. It's very hard for me to do complex calculations on the go so it probably takes me double the time because I have to write down every single detail. It's sort of like having to learn the formula to a problem over and over again each time you need to do something.

Kill yourself if you use these.

>>383852481
You just use flags that aren't strings.
So, char/byte scared = 0
and then
char/byte weapon = 1
char/byte blood = 2

If you didn't want the switch/else if case, you could do some fancy for loop stuff where you iterate over an array and compare.

So it could become,

states[numberOfStates] = All your states

and then have the loop

foreach i in array
if witness == states[i]

That look good?

google.

and most of the time, you don't even need to calculate for it, because the engine would have a function to return you the object's position on screen/gameworld/etc.
Only if you're not gonna dev game, and just wanna be engine dev, then you need a strong fundamental of algebras.
Else, a simple concept about it is enough. a simple concept that will allow you to know what keywords to google for.

>>383852901
If you have a variety of arguments that change the output and interact with one another the best thing to do is to write a function which takes them as arguments and then combines them in the desired way, rather than writing out explicitly every combination there could be.

Like if you were making a calculator, you wouldn't want to program the output of each sequence of button presses. You'd get a combinatorial explosion and it would become infeasible.

It actually does if you want your game to run well (a serious concern when you're developing in fucking unity and throwing all of your objects into the sky instead of deinstancing them besides) when you deal with complex interactions between different bits of information.

I made an ARPG and already put it on the store.

But I'm in doubt about continuing on the industry because apparently the standard indie modus operandi is to shit out a ton of micro games then let their small sales combined give you a decent profit.

I'd rather not work with videogames than do that crap. If my no-budget but legitimate games don't sell, I'll just finish uni and get a better cuckjob.

Because the only programming I ever learned was MicroWorlds in elementary and some Perl in high school.

I've been thinking of a game for the past years, and started taking notes this year to make sure to order it all. I'm not a writer either, but I think it would work better as a tabletop game or a novel because I don't have the motivation to learn how to make a game (even though I have lots of mechanics planned out already).

I'm strongly considering it.

I'm an engineering student taking my mandatory programming classes atm, and I cannot believe how easy this shit is.

Classes, functions, lists, variables, etc are all simple and OOP is intuitive.

For extra credit on the last exam, I turned in a simple text RPG:
>Main class runs the game loop and initiates game creation based on difficulty level selected
>World class is built from simple variables like monster density, number of rooms in the dungeon, etc. Player selects their difficulty level at game start and a dungeon of the proper size and monster density is generated
>Hero class tracks player's character as it gains experience, loses or gains health, picks up items or expends them, etc
>A monster class holds templates for many monsters, all of which are adjusted in hp, exp, damage, etc, by difficulty setting, some have unique drops

Ran like:
>The player loads the game, gets a simple console window with an explanation of how the game works and gets prompted to select a difficulty
>After they make a choice, a length to the dungeon is set
>They begin in the first room, with a semi-random explanation of how it looks and what it contains.
>They can interact with anything in the room with (parentheses) around one of its letters by inputting that letter
>Chests and doors can be opened. Monsters can be fought.
>After the last monster dies, the player can open the door to the next room.
>Repeat until the end of the dungeon.

Simple game. Few options. Linear dungeons. Combat was just hacking away at monsters. Equipment was just "Do you want to use this in place of your [current item]?" and it discards whichever you didn't want. Potions had their own inputs and could be used any time and would be consumed from the inventory list.

Took me a weekend to code in python.
Really made me want to try making a real game.

120%.
The guy hands out 5% and rarely 10% extra credit like candy, since the low level classes frequently have people who can't even figure out how to implement for or while loops. He said it was the most impressive thing a student for one of his intro classes had ever submitted and that I would've been better off starting out in a Java or C++ class. So my 100% on his exam + double extra credit = 120%

Also, I'm not sure it was that quick when you consider I spent 16 hours a day on it on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So it took me like 2 hours to get the intro screen, and then 4 to get the world generation, and then like 8 to get the character in and most of Saturday to get monsters in. I spent the rest of Saturday and all of Sunday getting the world, hero, and monster functions to all play nice together. So it was like 45-55 hours. I just had nothing better to do.

It's also worth noting that I've spent most of my downtime this summer reading the various programming books the uni provides for free, when I'm not busy on my physics homework. Pic related.

I'm halfway done with one already

>>383867585
Most game engines have 99% of the math done for you.

>>383866773
I'm getting an engineering degree, not a CS degree.
I'm working on an electrical engineering degree and have to take this physics class, and the professor's specialty happens to be astrophysics or something so he loves to throw in stellar phenomena.

>>383866909
So don't work for more than an hour. Work for that hour, take a break, then get back to work.
It's not all-or-nothing. Tell yourself you'll just do 5 minutes. Work/study for 5 minutes, then ask yourself if you need a break or not. If so, take a break. If not, keep working. You'll often find yourself building momentum until you don't want to take any more breaks.

Always remember: Better to get 20 minutes of work done than 0 minutes. Every minute you squeeze out is better than giving up entirely.

You have to make it a habit. Once it becomes a habit, it no longer requires effort. People with Alzheimer's can still crochet or still go for walks even though they don't know where their home is and can even still tie their shoes, even though they could not explain to anyone else how to tie a shoelace, because their crocheting or walking or shoelace tying is all habit, and habits bypass many mental systems that require concentration and motivation.

So do it until it becomes a habit. Then it will become second nature.

Do you know how much I don't care about your favorite game engine you clearly aren't trying to defend like some beta orbiter rushing to the aid of m'lady?

>>383867585
the most complicated math you could ever need are for things your engine probably already has functions for....worst case scenario you have to go copypaste some complicated math from somewhere else and get yourself able to understand it for the ten minutes required to abstract it into a function yourself.
majority of maths you'll be actually using in gamedev is basic uses of + and - and * and / for basic ass shit.
also pros like me use % (modulus) but you dont actually need it.

>>383858986
>I'm in doubt about continuing on the industry because apparently the standard indie modus operandi is to shit out a ton of micro games then let their small sales combined give you a decent profit.
You don't have to do that. Plenty of devs make bigger games instead, but it's a lot more work and a lot more time while you're probably not making more money (especially before the game is out).

>>383868628
I have never used the unreal engine in my life, it's just that claming that it's slow is objectively false
unless they purposefully slowed it down for the free version, chances are you just suck at using it

>>383858986
But anon, Indie devs need to break apart their games and sell them for like a few bucks a piece. Otherwise assholes just refund the whole thing and they make no money.

>>383868758
No one is claiming that it's slow.
Just that it's poorly optimized, which it is.

>>383858986

you don't have to be great at math to program, you have to be good at logic though.

>>383869154
I'd recommend not starting with an engine like that. You'll learn a lot of specialized stuff that won't apply ever again.

I would make a game and post it here for anons to test but I'm a girl and would receive tons of unwarranted hate.

But it's not one or the other. You can learn programming before trying to make something practical.

Modding is a shitty way to start from nothing. Suddenly you have to go neck deep in domain specific stuff when you don't even know what a loop is.

I'm working on a first person action adventure game, and what a coincidence, I'm making it in unity.

Battle system is focused on middle range fights (while using your firearms) and close range combat (while using your melee weapons). You also need to dodge enemy attacks, which consumes stamina. Attacking with melee weapons also uses stamina, so you have to think when to dodge or when to attack. It feels more like Diablo in first person, than any standart FPS.

The main idea is that you have to rebuild the dying world, and you have to collect special items that you can use to link the Portal to a new location. The very first location is a bullet removed from your own heart, which links the Portal to an endless and deep trenches, where countless soldiers before you died. Or, in another example, if you're out of medicine pills, use your empty pill bottle on the Portal and it will link it to a Grand Apothecary, where you can buy new medicine.

Because I'm working so much, I only really get to THINK about what I want to do, and I end up thinking about it so much I get bored. So if I set off to start a project on my 1 day off a week, then I am bored of it by my next day off.

I'm just way too exhausted at the end of the day to learn jack shit about programming or how to use a game design tool. I still get flip floppy between using RPGmaker MV, Unity 2D, and Game Maker studio. By the time I settle on one, its bed time, then its 2 weeks later before I get a few hours to get back into it, and then I'm uncertain again, or my project has changed and I re-evaluate my tools.

I'm going back to college full-time within the next 6 months for a bachelor's in comp sci so I can finally force myself to learn something that will help me, I just can't escape work, I fear I will die an old man filled with regret about what I could have done or what I should have tried with my life, I've been living like this for 7 years and I feel like a fucking husk

Making a turn based strategy game similar to the style of Fire Emblem and Shining Force. Have a ton of the programming done, problem is that I don't know how to graphics but I'm willing to try. So now I'm going to slowly try and replace my placeholder work with attempts of my own.

assembly. It's as close to machine code as you'll ever need to get for basically anything. like he said, that's pretty much what's happening when you call 'print(...)' in whatever language, he's just moving shit around in memory manually

Sometimes I really start to want to make a text based game.
But then I remember text based games are almost always shitty, and I don't want to fucking spend more time writing out cringey text then doing other things. Plus I don't like how the text would never change, it would always be the same each time you'd play the game.

>>383847786

Because I'm too FUCKING stupid.

Still, I wouldn't want to write out pages and pages for like event that happens in the game or whatever, I'd much rather have short concise single sentences that explain things. But people who play text based games wouldn't like shit like that.

Just finished setting up a way for sprite animations to be called upon as well as to play and possibly loop in widgets.

I should probably test this a little more to make sure its working properly and do some clean up/optimization, but its so annoying to do. I'd rather just move on to creating stuff for audio cues or dialogue screens effects like shaking the screen, sudden flashes, or fading out.

its an issue i have with the size of the sprites as right now I have their width and height set.

if I leave things at their original size that issue disappears but it also shows up extremly small as seen here.

I could set the alignment to fill ut then maya's huge ass face and others would just cover the whole ass screen. I would need to adjust each the sprite sizes accordingly in photoshop or something to fix this.

>>383879285

Sorry i meant say i have the width and height of each sprite manually set, and theyre all set to the same width and height for the sake of seeing the animation and if it works.

Step 1) Find a game creation studio for babies
Step 2) Look at whatever type of programming language it uses
Step 3) Log into codeacademy and learn how to do it for free
Step 4) Repeat step 3 nearly every day for 30-60 minutes for 6 months
Step 5) Realize that programming isn't actually that difficult or complicated
Step 6) Sign up for lynda.com
Step 7) Find the 39475943753498759834 video tutorials on lynda.com about whatever studio you are using
Step 8) Make a simple game

That wasn't so complicated, its just that you have to actually put in the effort. But 1 hour a day to accomplish all of that isn't much to fucking ask. The only reason you can't do it is if you are addicted, undisciplined, or if you are a baby who wants the whole world to spoon feed you things. Fuck you.

Unity is fine, but it's 3D oriented, 2D stuff is tacked on, it used to be called Unity3D, after all. If you're specifically wanting to do 2D consider GameMaker.

>>383880720
No, make a SIMPLE game. Even a 1 person crew can make a great game as long as they keep it simple. You make a simple game using your current abilities to the fullest, then when you are done you'd have learned many things from making one. Then you learn more before trying to make your second one. It may be better or worse, not because it is more or less simple but because you are trying more advanced ideas and techniques.

Do you really think you can just pump out a 10/10 masterpiece first try? Do musicians do that? Do writers do that? Do actors do that? That isn't how the universe operates. If you have something that you want to make brilliant, but you don't have the experience, knowledge, or wisdom, then you put it aside and work on other smaller projects until you are READY for the one you WANT to make. That's how things are created.

If that's "too much effort!" then you deserve what you get: nothing and a lifetime of regrets about what could have been if you had just taken a fucking hour out of your fap/shitting/gaming time to do something, ANYTHING to move closer to your dreams. And when you are old and wrinkled in 40+ years, and you are going to die anyway and you realize that if you had just given 1 fucking hour a day in between all that fapping and gaming and shitting, you'd be a damn maestro by now, or at the very least actually done it for real and decided it wasn't for you. Or maybe you got a team of entrepeneurs together and started your own studio? Maybe you would still be working there? Maybe you sold it for huge cash? Maybe it collapsed and all you have are fading memories?

But at least you'd having something. You are a loser dude.

You're an idiot, unfortunately. That isn't perfectionism, perfectionism is the guy who's up until 9:30am practicing his craft when he has work in 30 minutes at some shitty job that he is fantastic at, because he is that dedicated to getting his craft PERFECT. You aren't a perfectionist, you are just a bum, Rocko.

>That isn't how the universe operates
Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Bach, Beethoven, etc. would like a word with you.
But I doubt anon is like any of those people, no offense.

>>383881327
I guarantee you they actually practiced their craft and learned extensively before they struck their huge success. Maybe those texts were never seen, maybe seen by only family and friends, but Cervantes didn't just pick up a pen and write Don Quixote start-to-finish, perfectly edited and revised the very first time he had a thought about doing it, or picked up a pen for that matter. He practiced, studied, edited, and worked hard.

In the end a small amount of time each day over a long period of time adds up to a massive undertaking that by and all didn't feel like that much work because of how little effort it took each day.

>>383875395
that sounds rad mang, do you have a project link?

>>383881480
Michelangelo literally said that he never practiced, he'd start chiseling away at stone and release the statue hiding within. Same goes for the others, they bona fide were able to produce art and didn't really ever need to do any practicing, because they were prodigies. I think it was Mozart who also stated that he'd let the music flow through him and just write down whatever he heard in his head.

Well thanks I think
You're kinda assuming a lot in both your first post and this one though.
Namely I dont have the drive, or motive to practice programming. I already tried learning it once and I found the motions unenjoyable.
I seriously could not imagine how people stand it for years, especially with how poor the results tend to be.
I can count on one hand the amount of 1 dev teams that have produced anything of worth, same with any /v/ dev

>>383861420
>made super simple game
>"WOW THIS IS EASY"

Yeah no shit anon. The main issue is the sheer amount of work more complex games need, and keeping all the systems interacting with eachother without breaking. Once you have a 50% completed game and need to make sure any new addition interacts fine with the rest of the 50k+ lines of code, that's when it starts getting difficult. Actual complexity of systems comes third at best, with the hardest being pathfinding and AI, but if you've done engineering you should be fine unless you want to implement D* pathfinding for some reason, that one will give you a mental workout.

>>383852481
Hard-coding data is generally not a good way to do anything, ideally data and logic should be kept separate. A more clean way to implement that would be to define the strings in some external file and do something like

>UpdateLabel(GetReaction(this.Witnessed));
>GameOverCause = GetGameOverCause(this.Witnessed);

>>383886153
And the Get*** methods could simply do something like

foreach (GameOverState state in GameOverStates)
{
if (character.Witnessed == state.Witnessed &&
character.IsTeacher == state.IsTeacher)
{
return state;
}
}
