you can actually draw a hexagon using just 4 triangles

The best part about difficult things, is that they don't remain difficult; if you do it consistently. You just find new things to be troubled by at another point. It's hard to gauge our own progress. It's like watching ourselves loosing weight, or growing; it's only apparent to others.

I went from playing the open world 3D game for 6 months to a spinning cube, it's not that hard. Good luck.

Hey ho, I am one of the authors of the learnd3d11 project. My former message never made it to the comments for some reason... I would like to get some feedback what exactly didn't work out for you so that we can improve the tutorial. Cheers

@Code_Gains 10 ай бұрын

First of all thanks a lot for contributing to the project, I found it very useful for the initial setup. Regarding the problems, well honestly it was more my fault of not understanding how the project is structured and meant to be used. Since the examples in the online tutorial would link to specific folders (e.g. hello triangle), I assumed I would need to open vcxproj files in those folders and of course got linker errors since these were meant to be run from the LearnD3D11.sln and I assumed that something wrong was with the headers/dlls/libs. Basically I was just not familiar with how I was meant to run the examples so probably an explanation with images of how to select projects in the solution would have helped me.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm also on the same journey. Using OpenGL with some wrappers but coding in C#. Currently got a flat coloured square, taken me longer than I care to admit. Hoping to have a cube soon too. And then I'll be almost ready to release my open world 3D game.

Great! I wish you luck. C++ scares me, I would maybe use Rust if I went down this path or Go if it can handle graphics libraries.

@Code_Gains 10 ай бұрын

Thanks! I think at least Rust has wrappers for graphics APIs, though I am not sure how convenient it is to use.

@SianaGearz 10 ай бұрын

I have been using C++ for well over 20 years and spent many years as a professional C++ developer but it still scares me.

@fyvefouroh 10 ай бұрын

Excited to see someone else struggle through this! How far do you see yourself taking this? I have been hard at work on my own engine for the past 4 months. I also opted into using raw win32 api instead of a library. Just more work to do but not sure its really worth using if you really just wanna hit the ground running. I only opted for it to truly learn the low level workings of a window itself. I went with OpenGL and Vulkan for my graphics api. I started with OpenGL for learning and simplicity sake, though I wanted to get more into the sewer so to speak, so I started implementing Vulkan in as well about 2 months ago.

Can you use python to make a game engine IDE with C compiler to complie your python code? I am currently making a game engine in python with C/C++ game dev library but I am using the python version of the C/C++ game dev library like imgui, jolt physics engine, ogre graphics rendering engine, vulkan, bullet physics engine and other C/C++ library and I am using pygame pyglet for 2D and 3D game framework for the game engine. The game engine will be for simple 2D and complex 3D games and I am just like you dumb but I am learning game design and development at college and university this September to do computer game development foundation year for 4 years.

@kplays_6000 11 ай бұрын

TheCherno has a fantastic C++ beginner series if you just know the basics, or Portfolio Courses takes a more project-based approach to learning! TheCherno does also have a graphics programming series AND a game engine series, but both are OpenGL-based rather than DirectX. I've also done engine / tools development for AAA projects, feel free to reach out if you need any help!

@@bran_rxdunno man, i've spent almost 2 months atm on my own engine, and got very far. Admitedly it is not finished product yet, but I got to a stage of having a scene editor, ecs, only missing sound from core features. Even managed to put in networking and multithreading job system. Engine from scratch, developed on linux but its multiplatform, using Vulkan. At thia stage getting procedural gen and filling world with content is maybe 2 months of work. So 6 montha from triangle to open world is: possible, commendable and quite likely fun
