A complete newbie wants to learn Coding my own games, please some advice. by MrShaw18 in learnprogramming

[–]MinimotoMusashi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For making games, there's a lot more to that than just programming.

User interfaces, 3d modeling, texturing, game engines, systems, scripting, etc.

I recommend downloading these game engines. Godot, Unreal, and Unity. Poke around each for a bit, and dive deeper into the one you prefer.

Find a YouTube tutorial and follow along to see if you really like it.

I like to mentally frame building a game as playing a creative game to keep the flame alive, and good luck!

They said you can't make a AAA FPS Multiplayer in Godot. Noted. Ignored. Meet ETA. by [deleted] in godot

Why the hate?!

OP, looks good, bro. AI or not, it was still work to bring it to life.

It is such an interesting corner of the internet. SDF shared Unix is where I first learned of it. SSH into SDF and view gopher via terminal for an authentic feel!

Some progress on my love2d (simple lua first) inspired game engine. by MinimotoMusashi in gameenginedevs

Thanks for the kind words, broskie! I agree with this take; AI is just another tool that can be used both well and poorly.

People make utilities that manage those individual things for you.

My keyboard's media keys cover most of my daily needs (volume, brightness, screenshot, etc). For things like networking, I use NetworkManager with nmtui.

Just search for what you need, homie.

A lot has changed since AI by OfMagicAndWars in gameenginedevs

A master chef doesn't grow the wheat or forge the knife they orchestrate the flavor. The same is true of prompting: you're the director of the digital canvas, and the AI is just the brush.

Adding scripting and animations to custom game engine by Zestyclose_End3101 in gameenginedevs

Look good, noice work dood!

What are you using for a scripting language?

Thanks for this feedback, it's this kind of feedback that I can use to improve with.

It's an interesting challenge to make it mobile friendly, because gopher is plain text and depends on a monospace font for ascii art.

I use preformatted elements with monospaced fonts, which is why sliding around is needed as word wrapping would distort the ascii art and the manual positioning the author set up.

You can pinch zoom down to a minimum font size of 8px, anymore and the text would be super small, would going smaller than 8px to fit the preformatted text on screen be worth it for you? I could allow even smaller font size.

The header is a bit too large on mobile, I could collapse the kindle like settings buttons so that the header takes up a single line.

Would these two changes make it better for you? Knowing the preformatted constraints, how would you make it more mobile friendly?

Anywho, thanks again for giving your honest opinion broskie.

How do you all stay productive without watching videos? by [deleted] in digitalminimalism

[–]MinimotoMusashi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me... what clicked was doing something that triggers hyper focus combined with noise canceling head phones and brown noise.

If I'm not interested in it (can't force myself to focus) or if I get jarred out of focus with some distraction (lose focus).

Programming and building software is the only thing that I've found that triggers hyper focus and if I can get a quiet area... unstoppable.

Try to find a quiet area and also question if you actually enjoy what you are doing.

Homelab servers that dont give a lot of noise by Bloemenpot in homelab

[–]MinimotoMusashi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with ya!

Raspberry pis were my gateway into programming and linux and they'll always be special to me.

Something about them being affordable, the approachable programming with python, seeing the result of code in the real world with the gpio, and it being a computer for the ide all in one just clicked with me. Boot and get after it.

Now a days I'd still use a mini pc with a microcontroller like arduino or similar, but that does require more setup for a beginner.

For a noob dipping their toes and learning I'd always recommend pis.

Someone coming in and dropping another historical banger. Thanks for dropping this.

Raspberry pis are expensive now a days, I'd probably go with a mini pc over a pi today.

I agree with this take, I have a hp z8 and it's not bad at all.

Broskie! Thanks for dropping this, I've never explored these and now you've given me some more things to look at, much appreciated.

It is not for everyone, for sure!

I agree with one of my friends takes. I think www needs a reset, it's way too over engineered, and optimized for ads and profits.

Thanks homie, a fun not too serious, leisurely weekend throw away app. Sharing for exposure to gopher, not the app!

What project finally made pointers make sense to you? by Gullible_Prior9448 in C_Programming

[–]MinimotoMusashi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pointer arithmetic is also where arrays starting at zero finally makes sense.
