second for not giving a fuck about your opinion

Please tell me, why do people who make sprites make them pixelated, when they also could give them smooth lines like a regular drawing?

I just don't get it... It can't be just nostalgia.

>Please tell me, why do people who make sprites make them pixelated, when they also could give them smooth lines like a regular drawing?
You're clearly a nodev.

>>151479105
This doesn't answer my question, smartass.
Your sprite doesn't have to have pixels to give it a transparent background, does it?

>>151478856

For me the reasons are threefold:

1. I'm imitating what I like the looks of/nostalgia

2. An endgame/ten years from now goal for me is Geneais and Sega CD home brew, so experience working within those limitations is useful to me

3. Not having to draw faces and hands makes my shit look better because I'm ass at drawing faces and hands.

>>151478856
It's easier.

Not even being lazy, having large resolution art balloons the scope of your development time, and makes certain things straight up impossible. At that point you might as well go 3D.

Tried to make AI and it doesn't work for some reason. I calculate where to go according to the player's direction. I use this equation:

x = player's direction in degrees

((x - 22.5) div 45) * 45

This should give me the closest 45 degree angle. The angle is the direction the enemy will move. So if the enemy is right above me then my direction is 270 degrees. If I plug it in then the enemy will move in the direction 270 (down).

But sometimes the equation doesn't work and I don't know why. I just need a simple chase algorithm.

>>151482067
Because Löve is not a real engine. It's basically just a program written in C++ with the Box2D library included which can read your scripts written in Lua, thus it's not as visual as the other engines. Other than that, Lua just have a butt ugly syntax in my opinion (I'm used to semicolons and curly braces too much), not to mention that it has the most retarded approach to OOP. Even JavaScript could handle that shit pretty fine and simple.

However I have to admit, I don't get the Java hate. The only thing I have against Java is, well, Java itself. That you have to install it before it can run your shit. However the same goes for C# and .Net.

>>151482370
If you are serious then you need to pick a programming language first. C++ is commonly used for stuff like engines but lacks "handholding". If you wanna start with something easier you can pick up Java, it's easy to learn, teaches you the basics of object-oriented-programming(OOP) and there are like millions of tutorials, resources and libraries out there. It's slow(ish) and verbose though, so it's mostly used for apps and pixelshit.

Don't panic, it doesn't really matter which language you pick because they are all similar to each other and after you learned your first language, it'll be way easier to learn a new one.

After you picked your language, learn by practice: do tutorials, make text based games and little apps. If you are confident in your skills, pick a main project and get working.

I finally took some time to figure out how UMG works. I definitely never should have written any HUD code and used UMG all along, but it's too late now to change the old stuff. All my new stuff will be in UMG though, as almost all of the in-game HUD-based UIs are almost done already anyway.

Escape opens up the menu, unless you're currently in an in-game menu already. In that case, it "pops" you one level up. So if you're talking to an NPC, it exits talking. If you're selling something to a shop, it brings you back to the main shop menu (and then escaping again would exit the shop). In the future I'll add more ways to easily exit dialog, so as adding hotkeys to each dialog choice, and maybe just clicking on empty space to exit.

Tomorrow I will make the save, load, and options buttons do stuff. I already have quicksave and autosave, so I just need an interface to choose files from the direction. I'll see what I can play around with for the options menu (I want to figure out how to do a foliage slider).

Question 1: DevFriends, I keep hearing about "message passing" in OOP informational material when it comes to Objects. I am a bit newb to classes - can anyone tell me what this magical "message passing" is in understandable terms.

Question 2: How should I structure my code in the game? As I have observed from the OOP vs Procedural brawls in here, it seems that separate branches should have nothing to do with each other and should not have dependancies between each other. So, how should the game's internal logic function then? What even is a dependancy?

>>151483283
Everything. They're trial and error puzzles that come down to simply entering the right inputs. They're not enjoyable when you're doing them and when you finish it's more a "thank god that's over" feeling than one of accomplishment.
Especially fuck having the puzzle take up far more than a screen's worth of size so you have to remember where every dot of land lines up.

The only time I've enjoyed sliding ice puzzles was in the Etrian Odessy games and that's because they're first person dungeon crawlers and you draw your own map, so moving around on the ice is actually meaningful and dangerous.

What's wrong with trial and error?

Isn't that how you learn games? Isn't that how you learn stuff?

>>151482885
Alright ,thanks.I'll start making a list of things to write , do you know any good tutorials?

>>151483616
To be honest, I don't understand this whole OOP pro and contra argument.

I have an enemy. Said enemy has an X and Y position. Said enemy has a logic how he changes those values. Thus I have an enemy object, and I call it's logic function in the game loop. It feels so natural to use objects for this.

I'm really interested: how else could it be done?

>>151482494
I've been here since the magicians age, and there have been phases. Steam raids, source-posting etc. But things are roughly the same.

Googs is a constant, we're only missing one or two really good devs who only show up a few times, which is what happened in the past.

Anyone know what happened to kobolddev?

>>151483770
You mean like combining 2 individual health potions into a stack of two health potions? I would do that whenever you add a new item to the array. The array would store a pair/struct/whatever, consisting of an int and the object. If the object you're adding already exists in the array, just increase the count by 1. Then you never have to convert anything.

>>151483779
>What's wrong with trial and error?
Badly done trial and error feels like you're just mashing a keyboard until the right answer comes out. To compare it to how it's used in mathematics, you already know how to do the math and get the answer, you just have to repeat the same thing over and over again until it works. It's annoying, boring repetition.

>Isn't that how you learn games? Isn't that how you learn stuff?
While it had it's own problems, The Witness did a very good job tutorializing new mechanics so that learning new stuff wasn't guess and check at all but rather your ability to understand how new mechanics worked after it gave you a few simple examples.

Ice slide puzzles are never fun, they've been done to death in hundreds of games and they are never interesting or original.

there is nothing wrong with trial and error my friend
when the puzzle takes up more than a screen's worth of size, and its clearly too difficult to plow your way through with brute force, the solution is to study it carefully, draw it on graphing paper or memorize it as you learn each step one by one

the more difficult the puzzle, the more satisfying the solution
especially when its a side quest area with extra good rewards

its only 2016 babbies that want every puzzle to be "Here a key, heres a door, now we're going to have a gameplay interruption where we zoom in on the key and door and then a companion pops up and tells you to use the key on the door"
In the golden age of video games, you used a paper and pencil and got gud

>>151484143
The Witness is a good example of how to seamlessly teach mechanics. There are many other games that do this well. But a lot of good games in the past also relied on trial and error.

>>151482231

>>151484257
>the more difficult the puzzle, the more satisfying the solution
But slide puzzles are not difficult. They don't take any critical thinking and they certainly can be brute forced by simply trying every reasonable options.

Also the first part of that webm made me super mad, "Gotcha!" moments are in my opinion horrendous game design and feel like total shit when players encounter them. It's like if someone on the street came up to you and offered you a dollar, then shot you for taking it and goes "HAH, gotcha! Shouldn't have taken that dollar you fucking idiot!".
Please don't ever, EVER randomly punish players for doing something 'wrong' when they would have had no idea that their action would be 'wrong'.

>>151483456
>What even is a dependency?
When Class B requires Class A to function, then B is dependent on A. That probably doesn't sound too bad but what happens is that the more complex your code gets the more dependencies you have, so you eventually end up in a situation where dozens of classes are all dependent on each other and shit like circular dependencies(class A requires class B and class B requires class A) appear. This kinda shits on the entire point of OOP(re-usability), however it's hard to avoid in a game.

>>151483839
The thing is, OOP is a lot more than just classes and objects. If it were just that then OOP books wouldn't have hundreds of pages.

their only punishment is being returned to the beginning of the maze, so you can't brute force it trivially
theres no cost in resources, you can try it as many times as you like. But you can't solve the puzzle by just brute forcing reasonable options, only by memorization or analysis.

you've got some kind of aversion to puzzles that actually ask their players to apply themselves instead of just be casual guided tours painted to look like a puzzle, and thats exactly whats wrong with modern game design

No, I just don't like ice puzzles and being punished for taking actions that the player had no idea if they were right or wrong. The puzzle you posted is actually one I really enjoyed.

>their only punishment is being returned to the beginning of the maze, so you can't brute force it trivially
I was talking more as general advice and not particularly about that room. It's still stupid, to 'punish' the player for going left when they could not see that far left (Wasting time is still a mild punishment). A better example for what I was advising you to never do would be say, a tile that is visually no different from the rest of the floor, but instakills you if you step on it. That's what I meant by "gotcha bullshit"

Very much a beginner gamedev, trying to figure out the state machine for a turn-based RPG.

With an action game, it's just a pack of objects, each with their own state machine, interacting with each other in real time, right? And, with an RPG, that's still pretty much right, the states just being stuff like "In Character X Command Menu" -> "Targeting" -> "Attack," right?

Am I at all on the right track here?

I think all the ideas are fine. However don't forget that we are talking about a jam here, so your scope should be small. With that said, the match 3 and the pachinko ones seems to be the most finishable. A fighting game would also work, but that might take many time because of the assets.

>>151485654
Match 3, it's just a jam nigga.

>>151485625
but after the first time he moved to each wall, he'd know where it is. That would take a matter of seconds to figure out

the player has 30 some states he must move between. Each offers him 1-3 new directions. 1 is on the correct path, 1-2 may punish him by resetting him to the beginning or may lead him to a dead end branch from which he may backtrack
some of the state changes are guesswork and unknowable the first time. But once he's found the correct path, he can commit it to memory, though possibly it leads him on a dead end path, he can more easily backtrack from there to find when he went wrong. But as he gains more knowledge of the surroundings, his memory can eliminate more and more of the false options that would reset the puzzle. The bar to reach full knowledge of the puzzle is low, sliding through each frame once might take a few attempts, but reaching each corner by brute force is simple and a small burden whereas brute forcing the whole puzzle is astronomical

so the player with a small amount of guesswork and initial brute forcing can probe out the path and then be limited only by his memory of the layout, something he could commit via external aid, and at this point solve the puzzle in short order without any hangups

Good idea. My ammunition meter is so fucking useful.

The idea is when you pick up a power up that lets you charge your gun to do a special trick, that bar on the right gets attached, and then when you get the other, you hit the reload key to switch between modes, and the little bar will flip over and change blue.

Look, what you have there honestly isn't too bad.
What I really wanted to get across to you was please for the love of fuck be careful to avoid anything more than that level of guesswork.
No matter how you justify it, most players will still feel cheated if they went left first and undeserving of that (however mild) punishment without any sense of accomplishment for getting it right. It's like being given two doors where one is progress and the other is just says "Fuck you" when you open it. It wastes their time and guesswork like that simply isn't fun.

My suggestion, if you even care, is just add some subtle scuff marks on the ice that points towards the right direction if you HAVE to do 'slides of faith' again. That way observant players who figure that out can skip needless guesswork while actually giving there a justification for there to be punishment for those who don't observe the puzzle.

How do I make a Metroidvania set in a tower that goes straight up interesting?

> please for the love of fuck be careful to avoid anything more than that level of guesswork.

so you play dark souls for the first time
you reach a big ass demon. You have no idea what it does. It crouches, then jumps and smashes you to death in 1 hit. You respawn and try it again, but this time you've learned what that move does. You respond to it with one of your possible states like "run away", "shield", "roll", etc. Then it does another move where it channels an explosion and you die again. But now you've learned one more move. Once you've learned all the moves and how to react to each one, you've mastered that boss and can kill it trivially, memorization being more important than skill.

trial and error is a good way to build up a sense of accomplishment. If you just get handed a guide that says "Do this at every step", all you're doing is taking an on-the-rails guided tour. I didn't feel any sense of accomplishment when I did any puzzles in skyward sword, because it was just handed to me every single time and told what to do.

>>151486580

That analogy is so far off from the issue your ice puzzle has.
Want a closer one?
You're playing Dark Souls for the first time. You walk into a room and the floor falls away, instantly killing you. "Shouldn't have gone in that room idiot". Or in your case, "Should have slid right instead of left fuckface do it over." I already gave you a way to improve your puzzle that would make the player feel like their punishment was DESERVED for not being observant, instead of RANDOM because "hurr should have gone right".

The difference here is that you can reasonably assume that a fuckhuge demon in an RPG game WILL be trying to kill you. You don't assume that the floor that looks eaxctly like every other floor may be trapped until the first time it happens.
Even if you know to check for trapped floors from then on, you still feel cheated the first time you get killed for no reason and lose your souls.

>>151486313
>You're confusing the acronym with the term.
You're attributing meaning to the way it is written. Programming with objects is not necessarily object-oriented, but object-oriented is absolutely the paradigm. And yes it is a buzzword shitfest, more aptly it is a one-size-fits-all lie.

I made up my mind. I am going to make Elf Fortress!
It's like Dwarf Fortress but with elves.

so... bed of chaos?
but getting killed and respawning not only eats up 30x the amount of time penalty, it consumes in-game resources
if all you got from the floor falling away was that you had returned to the start of the room, that would be more like learning how to fall down the great hollow

did anyone mind dying a few times in the great hollow while learning where they could jump safely?

>>151487136
>"Should have slid right instead of left fuckface do it over."
I hate sliding puzzles but this is stupid if you can see the whole sliding puzzle at once, because you should have used your fucking brain before stepping onto the ice.

Leapy Knight dev here, have been gone past few weeks because I really wasn't happy with how my game was looking/feeling. So I scrapped it all and have been playing around with different styles/ideas and I've come to this. Very happy with the style actually, some stuff like the UI and tree are placeholders and I'm not sure if I'm happy with the player model design. But yeah, I'll post a vid once I have some animations going on the player model.

>did anyone mind dying a few times in the great hollow while learning where they could jump safely?
No. It's also not at all relevant to you point, because when you made those attempts to find the right jump spot, you KNEW there was possible danger. It was very clearly visible that there's a giant fucking pit. Going either left or right on your ice slide is going into a total unknown. Players feel cheated when they walk into danger they had no way to know existed.

To really sum up why you puzzle is bad, it's because the player has no way to outwit that guess and check. Nothing to seperate smart players from idiots, nothing to reward the observant. It simply reward the people who arbitrarily went right and not left.

To further add to this, do you guys think that more abstract HUD elements can be detrimental to a game if a player can at least figure out how they work within a few moments of gameplay?

and learning the layout takes just a handful of attempts
getting a few slaps on the wrist the first few times you explore it is nothing

and if all it does is return to the player to the beginning, then its far less of a punishment on the first handful of moves. It eats up 5 seconds on the first 3 moves

>>151483839
it obscures program flow, you don't know what code an object executes when you use it, this leads to a lot of hidden overhead, "death by a thousand paper cuts"

you can still have objects without using OOP, but you need to recognize the distinction between behaviour and data, procedures create behaviour by processing data

the difference is with functions it's all clear and readable

That's a pretty long sliding puzzle to analyze "tactically only a few times", but I suppose he's still right that it's not withholding information.

>>151487852
Just because there isn't much of a punishment doesn't make the whole thing less of an objectively bad puzzle design.

>>151487935
>what if the eye of killrogg had restrictions and couldn't be spammed
>so you had to use it tactically only a few times
I was agreeing with you that some way to get the info of which way is safe is a good idea. Eye of Killrogg would make this a totally acceptable puzzle that doesn't rely on what boils down to being "artifical difficulty" (Which is to say, difficulty that the player can not overcome or avoid with their own skill)

>>151488145
>Just because there isn't much of a punishment doesn't make the whole thing less of an objectively bad puzzle design.

but this returns to the concept that unless the solution can be found with NO guesswork the puzzle must be objectively bad

theres nothing wrong with guesswork when its done in small and unobstructive quantities. The player can eliminate the guesswork in that puzzle very quickly. Having an initial bit of trial and error? Nothing wrong with that

its like the people who would say dota can't be a competitive game if it has any RNG in it. If the whole game was nothing but RNG it would be unfair, but when its used as a sparing spice, its perfectly fine

having "artificial difficulty" from guesswork is just fine if the difficulty is trivial. Doing the guesswork to map the area to eliminate the rest of the guesswork means the only artificial part of the difficulty is small and unobtrusive

>>151488040
for(int y = 0; y < twoDArrayHeight; ++y){

}

And in my opinion an incorrect one. Good puzzles are ones that take time to solve even with the full set of information and rules and play fully understood.

>theres nothing wrong with guesswork when its done in small and unobstructive quantities.
It is when it's blind guesswork. Most ice slide puzzles are 'informed' guessworks once you have the full information, in which you try each path to get an answer. Informed guesswork is fine. Having to do guesswork to discover information crucial to the puzzle is bad. No matter how minor it is, it's still bad.
I don't get why you're so vehemently set on keeping that particular element in your puzzle when there have been MULTIPLE suggestions in this thread on how to make it better by removing the objectively bad puzzle elements like the blind guesswork.

At the end of the day this is just my
>opinion
so I'll stop arguing with you about this if you're going to dismiss and argue against any feedback that people give you. It's clear you think your puzzle is perfect and that anyone who disagrees must be wrong.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

What is the best way to store game data (like items player has etc.)?

I'm making a small java game and need to store information about islands, like what shops they have, what commodities they have etc. So far all I'm thinking of doing is creating a txt file and reading in the data.

Use JSONs. They might seem to hard to understand first, especially if you have a strong SQL background, but after a while, you will wonder how could you ever live without that.

In other words: yes, simple text files with structured and readable text are perfectly fine.

digging the parallax

How do puzzle games like tetris, bejeweled, candy crush etc work?
When blocks get destroyed and new ones get put in, how do you make it so the new ones are random but at the same time don't make the game unwinnable, especially in games when you can't move blocks all over the board.

This might not be related at all, but last time I had errors about pending kill, things were by default spawning at 0,0,0 which caused them to be in the floor so deep that they got destroyed by collision system. So right after calling spawn node, the object was already dead. Check that out.

i never understood the appeal of realism. given the opportunity to be creative you just try to replicate life? there is no art in this

even classical artists had their on hand in their work.

Trying to decide whether to use Lua or a scheme as my game's scripting language. What would you guys recommend?

>>151498284
c# and unity.

Trying to do a simple town builder. Implementing villager and letting them do their own thing based on the profession/role you give them. It got me thinking on how to games like banished handled its villagers. I'm guessing they have a very basic inventory system where they carry items around with them. And the same inventory is used for stockpiles and other areas that can hold resources of any kind if I'm not mistaken.

Thinking if there are other ways to do it, but it seems everything else will make it extremely cluttered.

>>151496191
>top tier taste in weapons
thanks, bruh
arms are like a gyroscope or something but I was too lazy to fix

>>151498363
Then I'd have to learn both C# and Unity...

>>151498284
as someone who used scheme before...

...go for Lua.

>>151498132
>i never understood the appeal of realism.
It's for 'cinematic' game movies for making big profits off normies.

>>151498284
Scheme... is a meme.

>>151498620
You don't know java? Because C# is basically that, maybe even easier. Unity has insane documentation and tutorials as well, wouldn't take you too long to understand the basics.

>>151498939

>>151498939
I don't know Java in great depth, I mainly use Scala at work and C at home.

>What happened when you used scheme, or if interest?
First, it's a functional language. Say what you want about functional languages and their potential, but they're not exactly woven into the game development paradigm, right now. But the largest problem I had was the fact that it's a ((((((((((LISP)))))))))) based language. (And(((we((all(know)how))that)))goes)

I haven't seen much from Lua, but it definitely looks better and from what I've seen, it's applied much more often in gamedev, even if just for scripting.

>>151499387
Are you just fucking with me about scheme being a bad choice, or not?

>>151499591

Heard that excuse thousands of times, you are just a faggot nodev, otherwise you'd be making the game and then giving it your touch. I bet all you did was set up a project in game maker or unity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_9QooYDYtU

>>151499605
No, it's true that it's a bad choice, because it's a meme language. People say that all the time in /g/ programming threads. Scheme is a meme, SICP is a meme.

You trust them, right?

>>151499591
I think parens would be a welcome break from Scala's syntax for me! Did you have any other issues with it?

This is extremely premature, but I get the impression that Lua would be better-received if anybody ever wanted to make custom levels for my game, because it's so much more popular.

Oh my god, lisp truly is a terrifying language. I cringe every time I look back at my AI hw. The madman's language of choice, you can't be sane when you write stuff like:

(defun wff (x)
"Returns T if X is a wff."
(cond ((atom x) t)
((match '(not (wff dum)) x) t)
((match '((wff dum) (op dum) (wff dum)) x) t)

Reposting question from last thread wih more detail.
I have found this video demonstrating Quake 3 CPMA Physics in Unity (the script in the decription). In the video, the physics look to be working correctly but in practice I cant make that happen. It's suppose to work with the default Character Controller but I can't get it to function right. In the script. If I assign the player view to the capsule, It's third person and I can't stop bouncing. If I assign the player view to the Main camera, it becomes first person like I want but I can't jump. I'm sure I have to tinker with more than the Player view to get it to work but could somebody try to help or point me in the direction of where I could get help?
