repetition is also important while learning. I'm unironically one of those "delete everything and start again from scratch" fags. it's also a good self-check what knowledge was retained, because it's all to easy to go "already done that", and then later on remember fuck all - so you have to start from scratch anyway more or less.
that's what highly commented backups are for you dingus.
making a simple fps is reasonably easy
no, flat out. nothing wrong with using store assets so long as theyre consistent with the style you're going for
why scour backups for comments when you can just google it? why do anything if you can just read SO all day? heck you don't even need to learn, you can just ask your LLM of choice to write code for you.
adding to that store assets are only an issue if it's obvious. plenty of studios use those, since it's cheaper to just buy them than pay dudes a salary to churn out tile-able concrete textures all day.
Well a lot depends on what kind of shape you're looking for. For example, I know that if you want a wavy-line pattern (think the infamous Medusa Heads from Castlevania), then you're gonna want to use sine and cosine wave formulas.
Some Youtube channels that offer free music (as long as your game project is non-commercial):
I also have the sine wave movement, and I tried to implement arc movement with a circle, but I really think I just wanted to use slerp to get an arc between two vectors. I found all these functions while looking for a solution to my issue, but the reality is that I barely understand them and it frustrates me to work with stuff I don't get. So I guess I'm just going to try to learn the math and theory
I dunno, if I were you, I'd probably just google slerp and read the articles describing how it works.
In an attempt to make the math side more interactive and visual. Wolfram is a robust calculator; it has a stricter syntax and 2D/3D graphing and plotting functionality. Desmos is far more user-friendly, real-time, comfortable, and has a sliding function with animations. Symbolab is an easier-to-use yet slightly less robust calculator with graphing functionality.
The thing is Halo isn't "simple".
I don't know if it's good, as my work is super basic atm. But I use OpenGameArt, and I've also been trying to grab stock sound effect CDs from the 90s from Archive.org. Same for textures too. I've been wanting to learn how to make music to avoid stock music, but no progress yet.
Splines are probably the most user-friendly way to define continuous lines while also being simple to implement since maths are just matrix multiplication at worst, though there are multiple types of splines and each comes with it's own caveat. Most widely used in gamedev are Catmull-Rom if you want for path to pass through control points and Bezier if you want more control over the curve.
Apropos of nothing, javidx9 makes great videos about game development.
this requires an itch.io account to claim the engine. but thanks alot anyways.
