Making a Game in C++ with No Experience

I tried to make a game in C++ without any experience of coding a game in C++. This is one of the MOST DIFFICULT programming challenges that I have EVER attempted.

The scope you chose for playing with a new language and framework was perfect. I did something similar to mess with WebGL, but chose a slightly too large scope. ~50 hours seems to be the sweet spot before you've gone too deep.

@BrooklynBaylis 11 ай бұрын

Hey thanks for watching. You may have got a misunderstanding, what I meant was the I had no experience using the C++ language. However I am experienced in other languages like Python, JavaScript and C# as well as game engines like Unity. The video might not have shown it much, but making a game in C++ for the first time was pretty hard, even with my previous experience. If you are interested in making a game in C or C++, I recommend that you actually learn the language first before jumping into making a game. There are many good free courses for C and C++ on KZfaq if you search for them.

I tried something similar recently but instead of SFML I used SIGIL. It was fun. The clunkiest part was the trigonometry and rotation. You should try replacing the sprites with vectors.

@BrooklynBaylis 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment! Coding in C++ was actually quite enjoyable, but I was racking my brain trying to do the maths and rotation, like you said. I guess it makes sense to use a vector of sprites for the animation instead of a spritesheet, I'd make sure to do that if I make another game in C++!

That ia such an impressive work. I've learned C(Just C) programming language at school and college, and assembly 86x, so I kinda feel how hard is to learn them, especially if you are used to stuff much easier to use like C#, java or python(Mentioning them because they are/were my main focuses at some point). Currently learning UE5, and cant imagine making an actual game from scratch like you did. My school projects were makimg games from scratch like this, but instead of 5 days, we had 9 months, and a teacher.

@eris-cs current college student in CS here. Gonna be honest most of CS in uni is bssic language syntax and dsta structures in the undergrad course. You won't see high level stuff until your second half of year 2 or later. If you're interested in game design or coding, I highly recommend getting the basics down over the summer and taking proficiency exams when available to breeze through the entry level courses. They aren't really hard, they're designed to simply have high workloads and weed out some students. Gross concept for a place of higher education, but that's how it is.

@Itsbasicc 7 ай бұрын

@@eris-csoh and definitely I recommend learning Java first, then hopping into c++ java is harder to start on than python but you'll be better for it in the future. Learn c++ after java just because getting the basics in a stricter but cleaner language will make the transition to c++ much easier on you.

Since you are using LMMS, you probably are familiar with LMMS's synth SFXR (I'm pretty sure it was based on JSFXR) which can basically do what JSFXR do but offline. Great video by the way. I used C++ and SFML back in the day, it was also around the time I discovered LMMS, so many sweet memories.

@BrooklynBaylis 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for commenting! I just used JSFXR because its more convenient, JSFXR is actually the JavaScript / Web port of SFXR. SFXR is actually a separate program but has been ported for use in LMMS. I only use LMMS because I don't want to spend £164 on FL Studio, LMMS is actually a decent DAW but it has an ass interface and a steep learning curve.
