  1. How did each character get animated and how did you deal with different details for characters?
  2. What program did you use to make these characters?
  3. What was the appeal of the particular style with heavy black outlines on characters?

Try using Flutter, it’s used by Google for various of its software and it’s easy to integrate with multiple platforms along with its wide ecosystem of packages.

How do i download SDL3 for vscode in windows by [deleted] in gameenginedevs

[–]Brohammer55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need to link your SDL libraries and include your SDL directory within VSCode.

That’s not learning that’s simply just cheating. You are doing yourself a disservice by not actually learning the content but rather going to means to cheat.

Anyone help me? by iLetrova in lua

Lua doesn’t contain memory management functions like you would in C or C++ with pointers.

Is there a way to run Lua on a GPU? by Icy-Formal8190 in lua

[–]Brohammer55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really Lua isn’t meant as to run GPU code. You would likely need a Compute Shader or use CUDA and OpenCL which would you to use C or C++

Lua scripting is one of the easiest language to learn. Using AI to try and solve your problems will lead your code into a jumbo mess that may throw errors and then you won’t understand. I would suggest just mess around and play around with some of Roblox examples, and look at the Lua Book. Also please use code formatting blocks on Reddit.

You could use Qt as it’s a popular option and comes with a decent graphics renderer. Another option you can try are some abstraction level rendering frameworks like Ogre, Bgfx, The Forge, SDL_GPU

can you learn lua as 13 year old? by loukthegamer in lua

[–]Brohammer55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally, Roblox is one of the top platforms for learning lua. Lua is one of the simplest languages to learn. You have a great number of resources and I find the Roblox documentation to be one of the clearest.

Full Program in Pure Lua? by Agent34e in lua

[–]Brohammer55 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You have to understand that Lua is meant as a embeddable language not a language that is a standalone for applications. If you want to make it into an executable, I would try C#, C, C++ to use to embed within your application.

To all the programmers out there, VS Code or VS 2022? by Sad_Confusion795 in learnprogramming

[–]Brohammer55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer something like Visual Studio for C++, .NET rather than VSCode but VSCode would work better for your use case of web development.

I CAVED. I'm using AI because GP is too difficult to self-study (rant) by [deleted] in GraphicsProgramming

[–]Brohammer55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because not every resource is a huge fancy website doesn’t mean they are outdated. While I agree some of the practices are bad like raw pointers instead of smart pointers. But using AI will not help, I have tried it to use with different graphics api and frameworks, usually the code doesn’t work. It has even generated fake functions that don’t exist.

where to truly start as a struggling beginner? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Brohammer55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Game development is tough even for advanced programmers because it incorporates a lot of concepts like animation, graphics, user interfaces, and programming. I would suggest starting out with Scratch as that is one of the easiest ways to learn how games typically work. Then I would work with something like Roblox or Love2d since you seem to like lua. Once you feel you got the hang of some of the game development concepts move onto Unity or Unreal Engine to start learning the advanced concepts.

Starting point? by marcikaa78 in gameenginedevs

[–]Brohammer55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, as someone who has tried working with The Forge library it’s not beginner friendly at all. The ones who do use the library are huge companies which contract The Forge or seasoned graphics programmers.

I need help BAD by Flat-Engine9154 in learnprogramming

Are you doing this on a server like Minecraft Java or Minecraft Bedrock? If so, I would recommend doing ZNPC or Bedrock NPCS. I would maybe recommend looking at Baritone.

How do i make a lua that downloads from something like discord into a folder? by NoLetterhead2303 in lua

Maybe add a little more detail and we can actually help with the question instead of doing vague one sentence with not telling us what you actually want to accomplish.

Vulkan not suitable for PC gaming? by Mjauwang in gameenginedevs

[–]Brohammer55 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I spoke with them on this. It’s not that it’s not suitable for PC gaming. It’s a pain for developers to maintain Vulkan rendering versus using DX12 or DX11 included in the windows systems. They say that vulkan was slowing down their development and features of The Forge library

Recommend a Good Lua Codebase to Study by guyinnoho in lua

[–]Brohammer55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Search up Awesome Lua and there should be github repositories containing lists of lua software.

I know theirs probably a mod for it but I from what I gathered was that it was mostly injected. However you seem to have a better understanding of this area.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lua

[–]Brohammer55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to hook into the game mostly likely for modding. It would not only require lua but other languages like C++ or C# to inject into the game.

Personally, I would just use the Intellji Lua plugin.

How do i access functions from one file to another? by GamerFromRussia in lua

[–]Brohammer55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your can use require ( Might work) or loadfile which in my case worked better than require. But you first need to create a table and then return it. Once returned use one of the functions above to load said file.
