Just say outright that ever finishing a game is a scary thought to you.

>>146470754
If not C++, then what?
C#? Python? Something else?
I honestly have no idea where to start

They're memeing you. C++ is literally the best place to start and only gamemaker nodevs think otherwise. C++ is the industry standard and extremely versatile for any project.

>>146470852
Any higher-level language will do. Choose the fastest tool for the job. Choosing a low-level one is asking to never finish anything.

>>146471039
>gamemaker nodevs
You engine devs will never stop shitting up the thread will you?

Thanks lads

Stop perpetuating this dumb meme. C++ is not a "low-level language"

>>146471039
>C++ is the industry standard and
BECAUSE THE INDUSTRY MAKES TRIPLE-A 3D GAMES WHERE THEY NEED TO SQUEEZE OUT EVERY BIT OF PERFORMANCE AND CAN SPEND THE MAN-HOURS TO DO IT. NEITHER OF THOSE ARE TRUE FOR INDIE GAMES

>>146470754
Wait a minute, where's your game?

>>146471121
Quoting for truth. Seriously, learning C++ is great for understanding how computers actually work but if you're working on a team with a single digit number of people you're not gonna get fuck-all done in a reasonable amount of time.

I learned on C++ and I'm saying it's a bad idea.

Reminder that Godot is C++ and MIT open source.
You have no excuse for trying to make your own one man engine when you could just be using Godot.

>>146471339
Listen to this guy.

If you want to make a game, then pick up GM or Unity or a scripting language. If you want to develop an engine and want to have a better understanding on computer science then go for C++ with SDL.

>>146470852
If you want to learn programming while you learn gamedev use monodevelop and c#, it provides access to the graphical and other tools as well but you have the option to decide whether or not to use it.
If you want to just make games I suggest game maker and shaun Spauldings tutorials.
If you want to makes games in 3D theres. Unity and UE4, if you have a relatively old computer use unity, otherwise use UE4 it has a graphical programming tool to make programming easier.

It's relative, friend. C++ is most certainly lower level than GML and higher level than assembly or machine language.

>>146471567
Easier than purely using C++ in UE4

>>146471460

>>146471121
It's best to start with the basics. It makes it much simpler when you inevitably run into the limitations of a pre-made engine.

Managed to get the boss movement a little less erratically.

He will spin in a random direction when shooting the laser.

Also the shield will deflect damage and prevent damage.
(Next step is to add a bar to show if the shield is overheated)

>>146471840
How do you do that projectile deflection? Looks really cool.

>>146470754
C++ with a premade engine is OK, engine deving in order to make a game with C++ is retarded

That didn't require any work at all. Comes built in with Unity's physic / collider system.

Best way to handle movements and collisions for a 2d top down game in GM;S?

I've been using Box2D so far but I realized I should probably not use that and code my own collision/movement code.

>>146470754
What makes it so hard to finish games using C++?

>>146473043
not knowing how to program at all like 90% of AGDG

>>146472536
Creating an engine from scratch is time consuming (for a 1MA) and you'll surely waste more time working on the engine than working on the game itself (especially if you wanna create a 3D game engine).

Also there is no point rewriting another engine when you can get the same shit using something that already exists.

>>146473043
Writing all the engine features you need including data tools by yourself.

>>146472864
Are you having problems with box2d? I wouldnt change systems without a compelling reason.

Skill building.

>>146473043
Ignore all shitters getting triggered by c++.
They whine about never finishing a game with it while dropping GM & Unity Project #3232423432 every day.

In the long-term it's the best way to finish a game, and no language is going to replace it anytime soon.

>>146473472
Not specifically but it wasn't my choice to pick it. I followed HB's RPG tutorial series and he went with it for his tutorial game but I'm 99% sure he decided to use this because he didn't want to teach us how to code our own collision code considering it's taught in his paid lesson.

His words were "we'll use physics for this course because it's faster". I know that wasn't the real reason.

>>146471641
don't fear the pointer.

>>146473554

How difficult is it to transition from unity to unreal?

I'd consider myself a good programmer and I mostly program with C# at the moment. I know C++ as well but I haven't got much experience with pointers (I get the idea behind them, just haven't written any programs with them) and I haven't used C++ in like 2 years at all.

How similar is the workflow between unity and unreal?

>>146473679
It might have been faster to implement which is rather important for games. Dont worry about it right now and maybe reconsider after working on necessary features.

>>146473893
Rumour has it you need to learn a replacement for the standard library just so you can interface with blueprints friendly code, or something of the sort

Thank you Chinese owned Epic games!

>>146473893
I didn't find it difficult at all.

Epic put out tutorials specifically aimed at ex-Unity users so you could check them out.
Don't prejudge blueprints, they are useful.

>>146473828

>>146474592
I think there is rpg maker on sale.

As someone who didn't really follow Mighty No 9 closely and just vaguely heard that it was a major failure, can someone explain what happened? I'm kinda curious.
(I'm glad I didn't give them my money back then. Though, well, I also gave Armikrog $45 and I'm too scared to even download the game after all the - apparently justified - backlash it's gotten.)

What's the best way to handle hit detection by fast moving objects in Unity?
Currently I've simply attached a box collider on my characters sword and just check whether it has collided with the enemy colliders during the attack animation. The problem is the sword attack animation is quite fast and sometimes it triggers only when the sword has gone through the enemy collider and sometimes it works perfectly. Any ideas?

>>146475064
Undertale has a 600 case switch? How in the fuck did he even manage that?

It's a relatively simple game which received lods of emone on kickstarter and was delayed several times
'Make them cry like an anime fan on prom night', a quote from their most recent trailer, made 99% of their already angry audience even madder
The graphics are lacklustre (even for UE3) yet it struggles to maintain 60fps on current gen consoles, getting locked to 40fps in areas with reflections, with graphics options which literally do nothing.

>>146475276
are you using continuous dynamic detection?

>>146475204
My last job had me take over systems built like that and convert them into proper OOP. Though I've never encountered a switch statement that large.

>>146475276
You can try using continuous dynamic option on the rigidbody or using some kind of raycast/capsule cast etc. I would probably do the former and make sure that your physics step is fairly high (probably 60+). Raycasting is more difficult to tweak or make special shapes.

It's way too hot to dev ;_;
Guess I'll focus on idea guy'ing and conceptualizing things to add to my game for today.

Oh yeah I don't know if you know this or not but just in case you should generally make sure that you are using a trigger for this kind of thing. A rigidbody is also necessary for mving objects and generally should be continuous dynamic for fast moving objects. IsKinimatic property is also important but I forget which option you will need so read the tooltip.

What's the C++ equivalent for Linux? Is it Java?

I heard that Starbound runs better than Terraria even though it looks more detailed because it's running C++, where as Terraria was coded in C#.

I just finished testing both Terraria and Cave Story+ and Terraria runs at slowmo on the lowest settings, while Cave Story runs at a higher resolution with prettier graphics and yet it runs almost silk-smooth. Was Cave Story+ also programmed in C++?

>>146476018
>>146476080 This except the final part.

>>146476064
No, you should probably only add one rigidbody at the root of the character heirarchy and one at the root of the weapon heirarchy. The rigidbodies take into account all children colliders. I don't remember exactly how child rigidbodies function so the one on the sword might not even be necessary if its a child of the character.

The C++ equivalent for Linux is C++

How expensive are function calls on singletons? I have the option of calling a getter on a singleton every frame, or calling it once and saving the value.

>>146476667
You're thinking of C#

>>146476749
>i can use the call to function once per game
>i can also use the call to function every frame

>>146476849
Just didn't know if the amount of power from calling that function is negligible or something to worry about.

>>146476597
So you have to pay apple then? That sucks even more, do they get to mess with your code or can you do whatever you want? Why don't they make languages open source/free. Such a fucking hassle to do anything. Gotta get permission from this company, then that company. Then when you make your game you have to pay them for the rest of your life or cough up the entire dough. Like shit, why does Maya or Zbrush cost a like ten thousand dollars? Why can't we get it free now, and then when we get successful we can start paying them when we actually have money. It's like anythign you want to do cost 20x as much as you're going to make and then you're in debt for trying to make money. like wtf who came up with this system.

>>146476682
There. The kind of music that would fit this scene.

>>146476757
Don't worry about it. Instead worry about the poor design choice you have made by creating a singleton. If you are using Unity you sort of get a pass because it lacks decent DP support

Though to answer your question it depends on the singleton implementation but should generally be negligible outside of multithreading or tight loops like you'd find in pathfinders.

>>146476682
Fine, you unimaginative fuck. The balls are also touching.

>>146476904
yeah, it is negligible, but the less the better
in this case, it's probably better to just write those 4 bytes to memory than to use 500000 clock ticks per game

i clearly have had to much to drink

If you want to get into programming, it doesn't fucking matter what language you start with since you're going to be learning multiple languages anyways. You will also have multiple moments where you realize you're doing shit wrong, and these are unavoidable.

Most of the fundamentals you SHOULD be learning to start off with are universal anyways.

I first learned how to program using basic on a TI-83 calculator over 10 years ago. Then I took a visual basic class in high school. I was programming for years before I started working with anything that was "industry standard", yet the lessons I learned during that time were still valuable.

Think of it like learning to play a musical instrument. Starting out, you're not learning instrument specific things, you're just learning general music theory that can be applied to any instrument. The instrument you're using is just the tool to practice what you learn.

Programmer elitists can fuck right off. There is no superior language, there is only the right language for the job. When it comes to starting out, anything that's relatively simple is best, which is any high level language.

Thank you and good day.

As someone who still new to programming, I'm stuck in a situation where I have a massive switch statement.

The only way I found to make menu creation easier was to make a class for menus, which contains a vector of buttons. But because each button had to handle totally different things from taking input to assign controls, to saving the game, to changing your graphics settings, I just gave every button an identifier and use a switch statement to take that button to the proper function.

How should this be handled instead?

>>146478502
nice blogpost but wheres ur game

>>146478502
thank you

>>146478776
The buttons can each be an interface and you put the logic in the implementer. Another option is that the button is a class and the implementation is in a component of the button.

However, for small menus the switch statement is usually efficient for you man hours. Just make sure to keep an eye on it and refactor before it starts to get out of hand. If you find yourself making a lot of these menus, or copy pasting code from this one then that is a strong sign that it is time to refactor.

Depending on your setup the interface or component model will also help you make new menus faster, but I tend to recommend avoiding doing work based on conjecture about future things you might do.

Be generous with content and if the game permits, give a means for the community to keep your game alive.

We're actually in an ironically sad but good situation. Whereas the normal amount of content/$ is lower than it used to be. So doing the normal thing of the best is above and beyond by today which will be good for your fans.

c++ is an open standard, you have a variety of compilers to choose from, some of which or proprietary. Visual Studio is Microsoft's flavor and in house c++ IDE/Compiler and they own c#, an object oriented variant made to run on their .NET platform (which is developed on Visual Studio)
Apple has Xcode as their IDE and use LLVM, Clang, and gcc for their c++ support as well as having "Objective-C", which is their Object oriented solution.
tl;dr you are not going to pay money to a company to write code for their platform, and if you are really worried, use gcc + codeblocks

Spaceship Decapitation progress.

Impacts now cause a glowing or molten metal effect that fades to charring. This was a bit harder to implement than expected and may cause unforeseen performance hits in the future, but for now it looks pretty sick. It'll look even better with new damage sprites and a ship you guys aren't sick of seeing.

This is probably the last hull/damage VFX I will work on before focusing on pure gameplay.

Python is either a stepping-stone language or a scripting language.
But as a scripting language, I'd prefer lua or even throwing some functional flavor in.

If you're new to programming, like its syntax/whatever. Then sure stay with it, just be prepared to switch when you want to take on something more than arcade games.

this is patently untrue, different languages have different levels of difficulty for beginners due to their complexity, lack of complexity (you cannot transition easily from high level to systems without relearning a bunch of stuff for example) or lack of documentation or support

and different paradigms are more useful to learn than others, C style is more applicable to learn than functional for example, more languages and more engines/libs etc use C style

and that is why C is great to start with, it's simple because it's old, it forces you to learn low level concepts that other languages hide from you, and it has 40 years of support and documentation, and it is the most widely applicable since nearly everything is based on it

>>146482974
Short for "Not Invented Here", an illness where a programmer feels like he has to write everything himself even when mature libraries for that exact task exists and comes up with excuses for why rewriting it is a good choice.

For a prime example see Jonny Blow, who wrote his own serialization format for The Witness. The rest of his clique (Tommy Refenes and Casey Muratori) also suffer from it.

Tbh enginedeving in itself is pretty NIH-symptomy but when it comes to that there is usually at least some real improvement you can make for your own workflow. But creating a new scripting language instead of using an established one just ensures you're gonna lose 90% of your potential audience.

>>146482998

>>146483503
I'm talking about Godot. It would be more popular among devs if it didn't use some abominable Python imitation and instead used a language with real support. By making their own language they're committing to supporting both an engine and a programming language, which is definitely more than you should realistically do. Every other engine that has had its own language has dropped it later (UnrealScript, UnityScript, etc.) because the people using it hate using it and the people making it hate making it. Rolling your own might seem like a good solution because it's easier to get started implementing compared to figuring out how to synchronize state with a third party language, but in the long run using an established solution pays off because you don't also have to be a language designer in addition to an engine programmer.

>>146471451

Partially implemented a lock-on system. There's problems both with transitioning in and out of locking on, since the normal camera position is determined by a position on a circle and the locked-on position isn't. I'll need to figure out how to convert coordinates relative to a target into a position on a circle, since that should fix it.

Also with moving too close to the target, which is just a case of stopping the player from getting too close.

you are stupid, detecting collision is easy, solving it is a nightmare, you'll have your character get stuck in that one pixel corner of the ground/wall depending on which collision you solve first (horizontal or vertical), then you have some weird bugs that aren't logical but somehow it happens because you can't predict every outcome of your algorithm, and never ever think about stacking more than two objects on each other and solving that collision.
so unless you're only making some point click or strategy game, you better stick with the box2d because you'll find yourself reinventing the wheel each time a bug pop up

I want to fuck this animal.

I think that's the second time I've posted that one, but before it had no underwear and some of the timing was off. I'm just waking up and seeing how HUD stuff looks on the screen resolution we've settled on.

Let's say I want to make doom/quake/dook3D clone, as in 2.5D FPS

Where do I start?

>>146492590
No, YOU fuck off, neverjammed.

>>146492783
So you admit you're a nodev. Cool.
I have participated to every Jam since I started devving btw. I can link my itch.io if you want.

Probably best off using a true 3D engine like Unity and using flat sprites that always angle their front to the player.

I don't know anymore than you really, but I sort my physics objects by their x value and then only check for collision against objects within a certain range, in the case of this pseudo-code, 5 in either direction on the x axis. I've never heard of a quadtree so maybe that's much faster but this works for me so it might be worth a try. Though by the sounds of it you're objects are moving a lot more than mine.

Also try adding a variable to your objects to keep track of which have been checked. If object A has already checked for collision with object B, then there's no need to check object B for collision with object A.

probably the literal open source quake engine.

The only nodev here is you, neverjammed. You're not fooling anyone. Just fuck off already and also accept that more frequent jams with quicker firing times is objectively the path AGDG should take.

Ok shitposter.

Doom source ports like zdoom have DECORATE and ACS scripting, you can do really cool stuff with it. Like Donkey Kong Country for example:

Speaking of space jam, would a game about exploring an alien planet be allowed?

>>146493465
no one is speaking of space jam, anon

So can I learn both C# and Unity at the same time?

>>146493556
you and I aren't we?

>>146493560
sure, having a specific use-case for learning a programming language might even be helpful

>>146493712
this is text, hombre

>>146493465
no, it wouldn't.

An alien PLANET isn't space anymore. you're literally only allowed to make games about spaceships, can't you tell from the OP picture?

Added puff smoke effects for each movement input when boku rolls around.

when you push another object the code makes the smoke grow, and even change color depending on the color of the cube.
