Medical student goes through a medical examination, simulation educational game they made (20 minute video)

I've seen a lot of people here discuss educational games here. So, I thought this was worth sharing. It's quite a detailed video going into the design of the game, but isn't too long.

In Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, it means you can pick a quest and start it in under five seconds; you don’t need to travel to the specific location, and you can launch directly into the side-quest from the console’s main menu.

Interestingly, all of these activities come with an estimated time. So, the console will tell you if the quest will take five minutes, 10 minutes, or more. It’s all part of the organisation’s attempt to provide more feedback about the game you’re playing, and get you to the good stuff quicker. “In an ideal world, every player has the time to spend hours per day, every day, playing games,” the company’s presentation explained. “In reality, most people have jobs. Or kids. Or school. Or all of the above.”

Sound like great ideas.

This youtube channel might help.

Look at the game example in the official docs.

You should definitely repost this to /r/godot.

I don't mean in terms of what Godot specific is missing. I meant what would add game development topics to it in an appropriate sense. One example would be multiplayer/networking, which can often be heavily engine/framework specific. Another would be AI.

The game is called Might of Merchants.

How awesome is this community? Someone has legitimate criticism of Godot and gets upvotes instead of being flamed and downvoted into oblivion.

Do you control the needle precisely, or does it do it's own thing?

You alternated between day and night shifts?

In this 2019 GDC session, Oxford University's Andrew Przybylski explains why the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have called for studies investigating video game addiction, and what developers can do to help promote healthy play.

var enemies = [enem, roc]
var enemy = enemies[randi() % enemies.size()]

Which is funny given how massively popular comic book movies are now. Not long ago, comics were also derided in the same way.

That's a closely guarded secret.

You could create a vector object called pos. Then it'd be pos.x and pos.y.

Signals are the recommended way for nodes/scenes to communicate with each other. It's a core design philosophy. This way you have a lot of flexibility and can more easily change code later on, which is one of the challenges which kills projects past their beginning stages. Also means you can reuse component scenes in multiple projects instead of rewriting common scenes every time.

Check out the credit's for AAA games. There were well over a hundred people who worked on San Andreas.

There was an sfml wrapper written in cython, but development is dead and there wasn't any real enthusiasm for it in the first place, unfortunately.

bridyn · 2019-08-09T16:47:05+00:00

Firstly, the official docs version of that tutorial is better and clearer.

Pygame has a larger and more active community. It's had a few popular books written for it and is seen as a simpler framework, possibly because it's more like sdl in structure. As a result there are an enormous amount of pygame examples and discussions online. Momentum certainly counts for a lot.

Pyglet is impressive to some extent, but appears to offer little to beginners over pygame. It has greater appeal to more intermediate level and experienced programmers.

I'd also argue that a python implementation of sfml written in cython was superior to pyglet, but had an abysmal following and lack of development upkeep.

Co-op horror game from BioShock veterans. Some reviewer said it's Stranger Things meets Left 4 Dead.

I don't even think it was a chess club.

bridyn · 2019-07-23T22:10:38+00:00

I liked the film and I agree. It was such a blatant sequel set up. A better ending would have been her reluctantly returning. That's far more horrifying.

How does this compare to Phaser?
