So to start off the game has come to a screeching halt, but lets start off with some good news. The good news I present to you is... I am able to program in VB like a boss. Maybe not like a boss, but better than before. Remember that last post where I said I was behind. Turns out I turned on my afterburners and finished the class 2 weeks early.
Here, let me try to explain what has been happening.
- 1. I finished my VB class and tried to get going on the game again
- I had some worries on what we should use as our engine. I think we might go back to unity. Why would you go back to unity? one might say and this is why.... Simplicity. Yea you read that right we might go back to unity for simplicity because UDK is a confusing mess and we aren't getting any thing done as of now (or the last few months). On a side-ish note I have made a little snake game in VB which got me into the the mindset of video game making, and I have found out that you need to think about stuff one frame at a time. I don't know how much I can stress this. EVERYTHING in video games are handled one frame at a time. (maybe not loading and stuff but actual game play is). also I locked my game at exactly 24 fps because I don't know how they make it able to fluctuate.
- Ok got a little off track but now we are on it again :D. The third thing that is slowing down development... Cross Country. nuff said.
- I started a Java class right after I ended the VB class.
- School work.
Now its time for me to vent some steam. I believe Unity is the best way to go right now. I am learning Java right now which is kind of like C which is kind of like javascript. Unity is programmed in javascript. Screw it I am using Unity, just throwing it all out the window and using unity and learning javascript. Peace
