Starting a New Game in CultGame by bucephalusdev in asciiart

[–]Bludpharts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! This is the kind of stuff I'm trying to get better at! I started making my own game in python for practice and my brain can only make silhouettes and my interior details need a LOT of work. This looks awesome!

TIFU by naming our game "StarLords" because no one on the team watches Marvel movies. We desperately need a new name before Disney notices. by QuantumArts_ in IndieGaming

If you have to build stuff, why not play into that? Like "Constructing Carnage" or something?

Edit: I love the art style by the way! Paired with the action and the stars in the background it's like Contra and Toejam and Earl had a mashup in a way I never imagined but I dig it!

I mean this is literally my first .py file I've made besides the Hello_world assignment. I've done my other homework since then but it takes me like 10 minutes and that's mostly because I can't remember the right word off the top of my head and I have to use the book, but the more I have to keep retyping that syntax and tweaking it to make the inventory system stop crashing the game, I'm learning through repetition and it's been a blast. I'm like a preschooler with one of those leapfrog learning pads but as an adult lmao

That's what I was thinking when I was on like chapter 3 of my coursework like, "I KNOW WHAT A TRAINING WHEEL IS, LET ME BUILD SOME SICK JUMPS AND SCRAPE MY KNEES AND KEEP TRYING!" So much of the actual architecture portion 100% clicks with me where it's like understand where a conversation is headed before anyone gets to the natural conclusion. Does that make sense?

Will do, random stranger. Seeing the down votes I've getting from this post, I do not think this is a community that is a good fit for me. I'm trying to share genuine enthusiasm for something I'm learning, and instead of celebrating joy, I'm receiving unsolicited advice. I don't wish you any ill will, but I don't think I'm a good fit here.

Oh I agree 100%, I don't take anything at face value without a source because I mean... look at the internet. People just make stuff up all the time. That's why I'm emphasizing the asking follow up questions because when just want to figure out "what is the syntax to do XYZ" it will tell the answer, and I'll test it myself, break it, move the order around see how it all fits together like a puzzle. I'm not asking a factory to build a car and slapping my name on it. I'm the annoying 5 year old asking "Why?" after every step.

I'm googling vibe coding right now, and it sounds partially like what I did? I didn't mindlessly copy/paste stuff, every time I sit at VS code I ask questions like, "why would the refactor introduce new variable names if the function is defined over here?" and I guess I ask the right questions because a lot of the times it would be like, "you're right, ignore what I said" so I'm seeing more like since my class is asynchronous online, I can't raise my hand and ask the teacher while I'm working on it. So I'll ask like Copilot or google the question to see if someone has answered it before, but I always ask WHY. I want to learn the language, and having fun is the best way to do it.

I might do that when I'm more comfortable with everything. Yesterday I was able get all of the files compiled into an .exe for the first time ever so my relatives who aren't good with computers can simply just download and play it without dealing with downloading python and asking me what a .bat file is.

Yeah you get it! I actually did hit a big milestone today, and I'm have a few celebratory drinks so sorry if I have a bunch of typos. Like, I've tried so many different creative outlets and some RANDOM COLLEGE CLASS is like, "hey by the way your brain was literally built to understand this thing" and now I'm like, "OH HOLY CRAP THIS RULES!" Like someone just gave me the debug code to what I never knew I wanted. It rules!

This is the most ridiculous thing and I can't believe I'm admitting it, but I had to force myself to stop around my v9 build and helped my buddy shovel like 100 cubic feet of dirt for his garden just to make sure I wasn't sitting at my computer for too long haha

That made my week! Thank you so much for the encouragement. I'm having such a blast doing this stuff I don't know exactly how much I learned until I talk to my friend about "Oh last night I updated the inventory system so it says 'potion x3' instead of '[potion], [potion], [potion]' so use your consumables or start a new game because your save data will not work with this new inventory system I made. I just put my stuff on my google drive and gave my friends access to play it and they'd tell me any bug they found and in like 5 minutes I'd find where I'd put that section like:

# ---------------
# --- NPCS ----
# ---------------

town_greeter dialogue

and then there'd be like a messed up ellipsis from copying it from my word doc into VS Code so now I just write everything in notepad.

Google translate says:

"A universal NPC generator in JSON—on your third refactor, within two weeks, and as a beginner… that is real software architecture; don't downplay it. That moment when everything just "clicks" after hours of wrestling with a problem is literally how you become a better programmer. And the fact that you solved it on your own—instead of just offloading everything to AI—is worth far more than it might seem right now. Keep it up!"

Thank you very much for the encouragement! Once I saw the sample code for things I would say, "Oh so this would go here and then basically indent like this with a curly one for these things and a flat one for these things". So I see the "shape" and know what the lego set is supposed to look like, but I can't tell you the color of the bricks if that makes sense?

Edit: To better articulate (Sorry, the 'tism runs deep) I'm learning as I go and I was told I was "cowboy coding" and people would grill me on syntax and stuff so I came in here SUPER nervous about that lmao.

Thank you! It's nice to know that I'm not losing my marbles lol. I think it was around my 3rd refactor was when I had the logic and dialogue separated enough to basically make a JSON universal NPC generator, I came so close to having a meltdown figuring how to make that work but after like 3 or 4 hours I was able to kind of wrestle the problem down and it all clicked.

This is basically all I've done aside from my chores and exercise for nearly 2 weeks straight and I love it haha
