I know a guy who did something similar but without sprites. It was VB6 Breakout, a horizontal scrollbar was the paddle, buttons for bricks and a radio box for the ball. It's really amazing what can be done with so little.
My post from a while back, sharing my epiphany with the group. All code is just a transformation of data from one state to another state. Once you understand that seemingly simple idea, nothing is insurmountable. Stop solving problems, start writing transformations, and the zen of the code will flow through you.
I mean these should be a good place to start and such but when it comes to developing 3D games shit goes to a level I don't even want to fuck with. That is if I decide not to stick with 2D. Now that I've mentioned 3D games what kind of previous knowledge/experience one should have before messing with 3D gamedev? Because I've always wanted to understand what really lies beneath all the hardship of making an indie 3D game.
I was. As I said before I gave up on programming. Though if I remember correctly while learning how to handle it with Node I was following some outdated tutorial and perhaps that's what made weird shit happen because the files weren't in .cjs but in plain .js. It only worked well when I converted all files to .cjs. Man, it became quite a clusterfuck because .js files were always returning some kind of error because of Handlebars code.
What fucking shithole do you people live in to not be able to run VM's on a basic bitch laptop?
Ever heard of Brazil? Brands like Dell, HP, ThinkPad are quite expensive so there is a national chaper brand that sucks donkey ass.
That explains the third world shithole. Protip, they're all made in the same chink factory, but I give you full credit because of what i assume are export restrictions. My apologies.
It's actually worse. "Positivo" is the name in case you want to search for it but I'll give you a heads up: Imagine a Desktop PC with a recycled notebook motherboard or low quality parts bought from some Chinese industrial waste and labeled as if it was manufactued by them (it wasn't) or a supposedly 8GB RAM notebook that crashes if you open the BIOS screen.
I did a minimum bit of research and I was horrified. "Positivo As A Service" is all I needed to read. Truly, my apologies.
Tbh for average Indie dev it's just mean learning Unity/Unreal and treating rendering pipeline as blackbox. So you can follow any programming course, and go from there.
Arduino won't really teach you much.
On that same topic, There are also Fpgas which one could kinda of think of like a digital breadboard or like a bunch of logic blocks which one can assemble into any way the hardware designer wants using Hardware Description Languages like SystemVerilog or VHDL.
I would use kanban board. And just define big goals of your project. And when starting to work you define sub-goals, which can be composed of their own sub-goals and so on.
Closures truly are quite incredible. There's so much flexibility that comes with passing a function to later be called (e.g. callbacks), especially when doing async stuff.
My view of productivity is more big-picture. As long as I'm getting shit done that I want done (and it compiles), that's better than doing nothing at all. From there I can break it down into modules/functions/features. Simple Goal -> Sub-goal stuff.
What do you mean python scripts for bot detection isn't game development!?!?!?
How common it is for indie game developers to know both programming languages and 3D modeling or some other skill like OST composition, story writing and such?
