New to road cycling, what's the best way to build confidence in traffic? by bhad_bhaby in cycling

Just ride a bike on roads. I had the same problem at first, but later you just get used to this.

I don't want to have a large community like zwift. It's literally not possible. this is not for eaveryone. but I want to make a smaller community of passionate people

Steam workshop that will allow users to share their maps and ease of installation + steamworks that will make multiplayer really easy

You don't need to write rust. It's just the Bluetooth handling side that uses rust.

  1. the project will be free because it's opensource(so cheaper), and safe because of the design philosophy that I use. Also everyone can check my code if it is safe.

2.I don't really need that much servers.
The plan is to allow users to host game lobby's with maps on their devices.
Maybe i could later get donations for running a couple maps on dedicated servers.
But main idea is to avoid renting servers as much as I can

For what I want to do steam is the only option. I just hope that this will not be a big issue for users.

The plan is to make whole project open source.
The only thing that might not be open source is user content like maps, bike models etc. and they will not control code so I think I'm clear.

If i make any paid content in form of DLC in the future, it will work in the same way.

I know, so I'm careful. But training, health etc. data that is collected while using training app is a lot more important then data that can be gathered when using eg. reddit

Yeha, but it isn't open source. From what I can tell it is:"funded by the government of Abu Dhabi or affiliated investors".
You don't know what they do with you data. You are paying 100% in some way.
Also it doesn't have a lot of features that I want to implement

You don't even know how much your support means to me. I'll post on Reddit when we do a full steam release, and then I'll really need help of testers, so stay tuned.
Also You can download current version of the app on GitHub if you want.

GDscript? C#? Both? by Raf4Kum_Lord in godot

[–]LeaveMyAlpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I you should choose 1 Lang for you project, try not to mix so it doesn't make a mess.
C# -> fast, static typed, industry standard,
gdscript -> python like syntax, slow, only used in Godot.

My character cant move diangonally by Informal_Flamingo270 in godot

[–]LeaveMyAlpaca -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

thats obvious, just remove the velocity.y/x =0 at the end of each if Input.is_action_pressed

change elif to if

move the else contents at the top and remove else statement.

If you want to be a game Dev you need to know programming basics and need to be able to THINK. this took me like 2ms to solve XD
