Re: Game Development Without "Manager" Classes

P.S. Great question. Hit me up on Discord if you ever wanna chat about this stuff. I'm sure I could learn just as much from you. Sorry about the wait, my computer had a bit of a problem when Windows ate my hard drive. Guess I gave it too much credit to think I could dualboot with it. My Discord tag...

Re: Programmer's Education Index

Yeah, in my edit I talk a bit about my solution. There's really no tutorials that go into this problem, in depth. A little solution I worked out is to put a breakpoint at the start of your main loop. Then disable the breakpoint and continue. When you reach an issue, press ctrl+c to stop execution of...

Game Development Without "Manager" Classes

I thought about titling this "Game Development Without Singletons" but these manager classes are not always singletons. Basically, in any game source I've found, and even in game dev books, all code is written with tons of these manager classes: ResourceManager, DisplayManager, KeyboardMan...

Re: Programmer's Education Index

I've been programming quite a bit using SDL2 as of late (on ganoo/linux) and I'm having a bit of an issue. When I run a program that uses an SDL window, I get locked out of the terminal I'm running it from. Thus, I can't use GDB to debug, which sucks because it's my favorite debug tool and I really ...

Re: How did you stumble across the Elysian Shadows Project?

I'm not sure if this is considered necroposting because other people are in this thread, so I'm just going for it :lol: Shit, I must have been in 7th grade using game maker and it was ruling my life. I didn't know anything about real programming (beyond the if statements and for loops that GML has),...

Re: Falco's Education

wait, wasn't that japanese culture studies? I'm pretty sure he was talking about wearing kimonos daily, practicing with his katana and wanting to move to Japan... Did he come to a conclusion as to whether he'd take down one of his Love Hina posters to make room on one of his walls for a Katana rack...

Re: Corruption In Gaming Journalism: The Quinnspiracy

Uh, so after partying down with Zoe Quinn over the weekend... She's a really nice girl. She's also a knowledgeable developer. Maybe she did bad things. Maybe she didn't. I don't know, and I honestly don't give a shit. I'm a gamer, and I want to hear about games on gaming sites, not sensationalist b...

Re: Minecraft Changing Owners

Seems like you're experiencing the opposite of confirmation bias, "rejection bias" if you will. Confirmation bias being when you learn about something new (like the number "42") then start seeing it everywhere, all the time. At this point, you're not interested in Minecraft and ...

Re: Minecraft Changing Owners

Nobody even plays Minecraft anymore. What is up with big companies buying things on the end of their rope? Just because you don't play Minecraft any more does not mean nobody does. :nono: Feb 26 2014: Minecraft passes 100 million registered users, 14.3 million sales on PC Sep 18 2014: 16,730,485 pe...
