I've been wondering for awhile how to implement an ambient particle system, and it's something I've never seen a tutorial for. Some games have little glowing orbs just floating up and side to side slowly on some levels. I'd imagine weather like snow, rain, or sandstorms could also be implemented wit...

Have you looked at the example project for STI? I originally had problems with it but the code in the example set me straight.

I'm 28, my background in programming is fairly limited. About 11 years ago I took a class in high school that I did terribly in and I tried to follow a C++ book after that but that venture failed miserably. Most likely I did poorly when I was younger due to laziness. A few weeks ago I did some Lua t...

Wow thanks rmcode! So basically in your example because you say that "self = GeometryObject.new()" it applies the values of anything under "self" in that function(GeometryObject.new) to the function you are creating(Ball.new). That's pretty cool. I could probably use this to stre...

I said I would share a screenshot of SPACE CHOW! when I felt it was ready to have eyes laid upon and here it is! I'll also tell you guys a little about the state it's in currently, the backstory, and my plans. I was reluctant to share this much but I love this community and you guys have helped me a...

I have always struggled with understanding what OOP is, which probably sounds silly to a lot of veteran programmers. I first started coding trying to learn C++ many years ago and I never got to fully understanding the language, then(still a long time ago) I took a class in Visual Basic but only lear...

Not sure if I'll do that but I can definitely see the reasoning behind it, thank you!

I'm not sure why you want shaders if you are just trying to move on from very basic games like the one you included in your post. You should probably be focusing on learning things like animation, movement techniques(wall grabs, sliding, double jumping, crawling, etc), attacks/weapons, UI/UX, items,...

I'm making a game right now where I am eventually going to have a metric #%$& ton of levels, but right now I just have a menu and tutorial. I am doing my gamestates currently by just using a variable where 0 = title screen, and 1 = tutorial right now and then it will move on to 2 = level 1 and s...

Wow, thanks for all the work especially on christmas eve, have happy holidays. If it helps at all my bullet code is now working, the github link is above if you want to look at the whole code for my engine but keep in mind you may need different values than me my game is a platformer and I have phy...
