I suggest you consider creating a generic "Component" type. After that all those individual component vectors could get replaced a single vector holding either component pointers or better yet, smart pointers. Doing that you don't have to create new containers for every new component type. Exploit the features of polymorphism, that way you can write code that's more maintainable and easily expandable with new features

1.69..k subscribers? I'll fix it.

bro created runescape at 7:04 GG

bros doing gains in both Elden ring and game engine.

its worse than scratch, but better than unity :D

I will definitely use your engine when it is available on linux. I use arch btw

I'm back from a previous episode. I remember commenting about my interest in creating my own game engine. I followed through with it and I have a GitHub for it. Development is slow though and it is in a very early state. I only started it 2 weeks ago. As a challenge I'm using Vulkan for rendering.

Subscribed because you use C++. Cool project!

Good. Now make it remote controlled.

Hey i am also dumb so i will ask question to same dubness but more experiencess human entity Is it good idea to make game editor separate programm that will somehow load game code and edit save files itself when running game to show game world and its transforms? Or it is better to somehow implement editor into game loop and idk like turn it off somehow in release version??

I just worked on excluding editor/client/server code last night in VS2022. You can use #if IS_SERVER and then in VS2022 you can define it as a variable, and if that variable is set then it will only compile that code, else compile the other. **Thumbs up**

visual studio is literally just an editor. it doesnt do anything except integrate.

It's cool that you finally chose the build system. But I'm interested in one question. Will you make the engine cross-platform? (at least for linux and windows)

I never thought to cook my spaghetti code, good thinking!

build.ps1 > build systems

I love this, hope you make something awesome, im trying to do the same thing

dx11?? but why tho edit: ok I saw the explanation in #0, doing it just to learn because it's beginner-friendly is probably the only sensible reason to use it. It's a shame that by choosing it you've immediately committed to the engine being Windows-only and kinda outdated from the get-go, but it's better than trying to start with Vulkan and then giving up because it's too hard.

8:40 I see a lot of people write code like this, having a pretty much empty main function that just calls another function. I usually think it looks stupid but is there actually a good reason to do it? Did you do it because you know you want other code around the editor?

Nerd

Excited to see where this goes next!

Im glad i found this channel. I'm planning on creating a new engine myself since ive matured a lot since my first attempt. I like your style :)

Nice, another guy who loves low level programming². Oh, I'm already a subscriber to your site, I didn't even notice 🤔

Do NOT use Cmake. Cmake is one of the worst programs ever written. Dependency management is hell with it, it’s not backwards compatible and breaks every few years, and doesn’t even allow multiple versions to coexist. The documentation is sparse and often features just… break. Use Premake if you value your sanity.

I’m using Cmake for my game engine and it’s alright. There ar some playlist that you can watch and learn, there is a video called “do you even test? - Cmakel” (or something like that) that you use to add modules to your project. I never tried premake, but whenever o check forum, the results say Cmake is kinda the standard

Good job man. I've been battling the same problems 😅

you can actually draw a hexagon using just 4 triangles

Use tuples instead of vectors. Tuples allow you to have a dynamic array that contains multiple types.

Great video, I think there is a way to disable that right-click menu in File Explorer with a registry tweak, I'm not sure though.

your engine looks great, with UI, enemies and everything. Very nice!

Mine is worse ahaha

help i am big noob, what programs do i run so i can code in c++ for unreal engine 5

This looks like Silkroad online

I feel your pain. I am currently on my countless'th iteration of ECS for my game. Every time I almost get a Eureka moment, I run into a problem with my ECS system.

I found this video randomly, thanks to the KZfaq's algorithm. I wasn't disappointed because I used to be interested in game engines too (and Lineage 2). Nostalgic and educational.

Noooo, build systems are a trap! Never worry about BS like separating editor and code at this stage! I even seen AAA project that do that with extra build. Heck, look at DOOM BFG source! It has only 4 projects and it mainly for mod support. It even has editor build in into main exe! All crap like this just distract you from your main goal - making game or gameengine.

Hmmmm..yes..oh…true dat.. big brain

Hey, I really like the videos and you are convincing me to make my own game engine. Keep u the good work. I've used cmake before and it seems good but never used premake. If you plan on sticking with compiling on windows msys2 or the windows subsystem for Linux might be helpful.

Ha, you are following my way and the way Low Level Game Dev went. Welcome to the club!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hello there

This is really helpful on my own ECS journey. I've been struggling with the whole magic layer of "linking components to entities".

amazing work, hope you get into material system with pbr and model loading

Insanely underrated channel, you are the goat o7

5:10 Uh-oh. Is anybody going to point out that world and universe are the same? World is often used to mean planet Earth, but it really means universe / cosmos. To be fair, the analogy still holds, if the "outer" universe is removed, due to e.g. the many-worlds-interpretation of quantum mechanics providing a linguistic precedent and concept. What is beyond the world / universe / cosmos? We don't know. You do you though, this has no bearing on what you call the concepts in your code. (Please use parent & child instead of father & child, which Unity does. 🤦) My irrelevant nitpicking aside, these videos are both very entertaining and quite informative. I am very partial to the presentation and the overall perspective. It is good to have the option to use bson, which is simply binary json (that Cereal apparently supports, as per the video). Especially for files, that don't absolutely must be text. Many people prefer text files for development data and binary files for final data, as the latter is more compact and faster to parse on top of that, but the former can be trivially inspected, fixed and merged.
