thank you so much! This video was very practical for me by showing exactly everything at least briefly instead of just saying them

Thank you so much! You explained clearly how to use your library (I wonder if it's not a tutorial for getting started with it), you explained theorical aspect of making a game before actually showing code, and that's perfect!! _(btw im famous cuz u showed my "hi youtube" on da discord)_

well in a way it is a tutorial for using my library and framework and in a way I just wanted people to make their first game and after that use whatever they want. Glad you liked it and glad you became famous 😂💪

This is amazing! Also, the thing you used, frames, is exactly what I've been looking for! Gonna go research that now. Do you have any tutorials on it? If not, would you make one in the future? I'm planning to use it for a website simulator, and some other things.

well that thing is just part of my ui library, I haven't inspired myself from any other resource but it is nothing fancy, you can find some more info on the glui repo woki or in my last video (the one about ui)

I don't use engines so I'm not the person to ask this but from what I have seem it seems tedious to work with so I would rather use unity

This is the exact guide I needed. However, I don't like C++ so I will stick with C and try to develop things on my own. I like Mathematics and Physics so it will be easier for me.

Going through a C++ book rn to catch up on all the topics I skipped as a kid. For me the hardest thing is knowing how much is enough knowledge to start with opengl. I read a whole chapter about pointers and references, watched javidx9 videos, watched the cherno, but I still cant really grasp how to use pointers or why they are in the specific sections in the code like singeltons. This is all really frustrating and feels like I will never be able.

@PixelThorn 5 ай бұрын

Here's a pro tip: just don't use them at first, try and make a small game with just a few enemies without them. You can have global arrays with a set number of max enemies, items, etc and just access what you want with indexing instead of pointers. If you want to avoid copying, just use references. But in this early stage, just focus on getting a game done.

@4F6D 5 ай бұрын

@@PixelThorn I will try that thanks

@afterlife1578 5 ай бұрын

imo, watch the cherno videos again, they really helped me. Pointers are a difficult topic to first get around, but once you do, they are pretty simple, they're just integers holding values of addresses to variables. Try to do a simple addition program using pointers and references and you'll get the gist. It took me a while too.

@4F6D 5 ай бұрын

@@afterlife1578 I know how pointers work and how to use them, but once the program gets complicated these are a nightmare to understand. The Chernos videos are unfortunately too shallow for real world usage.

yo, I use visual studio (the purple one) I think that's your best option for cpp as long as you don't have a very old pc. Also oop is not needed, and many gamedevelopers including me actually stay away from it. 💪

Can you use Visual Studio Community Edition to create and compile your game for commercial use and sell?

@lowlevelgamedev9330 17 күн бұрын

online is says something like As long as your company does not meet the enterprise definition, and no more than five people use Visual Studio. you can sell your software but since you won't make that much money with your first project make it and if you ever become a milionare you can worry about that aspect than 💪

I enjoy your channel a lot, but I feel like most of your advice is relevant for any language, not just C++. I understand why you personally prefer C++, but other languages are great too, and people successfully develop commercial games with them. I tried C++ too, but I still prefer Rust, and it's growing more popular by the day.

have you solved the problem of scaling the aspect ratio?

@lowlevelgamedev9330 5 ай бұрын

good question, I chose a game that doesn't have this problem because I wanted to make the video simple. If your game really needs a specific aspect ratio all you can do it resize the game and leave black portions or in full screen you can even request the monitor to use a specific aspect ratio
