    Excellently done! I'd just like to add that the main difference in an engine vs a set of libraries is that the engine runs its own loop and calls your code, and with libraries YOU own the loop and call the library routines.

      C is a programming language with a lot of branches - one of them being C++ - and it's not something you 'make' with a drag and drop interface; it's something you learn with years of practice. Code is literally just talking to a computer, so you learn its vocabulary, you learn how to structure sentences, and you learn the limits of your system.
      If you want to write code, there are some intro level videos on youtube. Get a notebook, start making notes, start writing SIMPLE code, and start making errors. After the first few months, the errors will reduce, and you'll be writing code for real.

    • @TiagoTiagoT
      @TiagoTiagoT 7 лет назад +215

      Nowadays people rarely start from scratch, they build onto decades of previous developments.
      If you were to start from scratch, first you would design circuits that would perform different actions based on different combinations of on and off signals; including among other things, commands to write to disk, to temporary memory, read from disk, from an input device, and from memory, and manipulate the contents of the temporary memory. With the circuits ready, you next would probably create a very basic text editor to create and modify data on the disk, writing it in low-level code straight into the disk byte by byte. Now with the text editor, you write a compiler, that is a set of instructions that will write low level instructions to the disk by interpreting human-readable data (at the simplest, just substituting long series of bits (ie, many letters in a row) with shorter sequences, following a manually defined substitution rules).
      At this point, you can start writing programs in a way that is easier for humans to read, and then convert that into series of instructions for the circuits to follow; it would probably be a good idea to create a more advanced text editor now it's a little easier to write programs, and with that code a more advanced compiler as well. And now it's a matter of deciding how much effort you wanna put into making things versus into making making things more convenient.
      ps: I typed this all off the top of my head, maybe I skipped some important steps; and this isn't based on any architecture in specific, just some general concepts.

    You might be glossing over a distinction between the game engine and the game development application. The engine manages the game at runtime, providing functions to perform certain important features optimally (like 3D rendering), while the application provides an environment for developers to work in. Applications are usually coupled with libraries, since this allows you to line up what the application makes easy for developers with what the engine makes easy for computers; and in many cases, including your examples of GameMaker, Unreal, and Unity, the two are so closely connected that they go by the same name.
    But you technically can have an engine without a game dev application, and vice versa. For example, something like Eclipse can be used as a game dev application even though it has no particular engine associated with it. On the other hand, PyGames is a game library (I think you could call it an engine?) with no development interface.
    This distinction becomes especially important when new software is notable in one aspect and not the other. For instance, the Crysis Engine is famous for high-performance rendering, while GameMaker is noted for the experience it provides to the creator.
    Here's another way to put it: what's important about the game engine is what it allows the software to do (and especially how quickly), while what's important about the game dev application is what it allows the developers to do.

    Unity is actually a very high end engine that even gives Unreal a difficult time when it comes to graphics, performance and usability. Because it was also free and Unreal was not, alot of "wanna be developers" made sad excuses of games and then pushed them to Steam, hoping to make a few bucks.

A key feature is the background in a scene. That is objects that don't do anything but build up an enhance the realism and atmosphere of a game level. For example in an urban scene you might have litter, streetlights, manholes, general wear and tear (esp for grungy environments), graffiti, surface painting paraphernalia inside garages (paint pots, brushes). etc.

      You have hspeed and vspeed;
      You add let's say, players hspeed to his x and vspeed to y;
      But before that, you check if x += hspeed will make player get stuck in a wall or whatever, and if it will (that's not my problem, Idk what you use, aren't writing 10 pages for every game engine) then you simply put a while loop and make player move on that axis by one pixel in while loop, where while should check if moving one pixel to the direction you're moving will get you into the wall, if it will, then loop breaks and under it you just do hspeed = 0 or vspeed = 0;
      Hope this puts you on a right track.
      Anyway, if you're using gamemaker, then I can share how I do it here:
      //Vertical collision
      if(place_meeting(x,y+vsp,obj_wall))
      {
      while(!place_meeting(x,y+sign(vsp),obj_wall))
      {
      y += sign(vsp);
      }
      vsp = 0;
      }
      y += vsp;
      same with horizontal collision, but shouldn't be hard to change it yourself.

      Getting collision to work "perfectly" is actually kind of impossible. If you wanted to solve analytically, you'd need all movement in your engine to be representable by differentiable functions - i.e., something that's never been done before. Of course, you could do some sort of ridiculously-tiny-epsilon discrete solver, but that would strictly speaking be imperfect.

      They literally explained what a game engine is and how it works at 0:33 to 3:42. They then went over different engine types and how they're different from each other.
      Gamemaker studio: Easy to pick up with time, popular for RPG games like Undertale (Undertale was actually programmed in Gamemaker Studio 2)
      Unreal Engine 4: Quite difficult to understand how to program complex logic, but great for rendering photorealistic scenes
      Unity Engine: Easy-ish to understand and can be quite powerful and lots of people showing tutorials on how to use it.

    Sadly, Unity does not use Javascript, but rather UnityScript, which looks a lot like JS. I was drawn into Unity for that reason and backed right out of it rather quickly and got into UE4. I'm very happy with the Unreal Engine for its blueprint system. From what I gather, good workflow is to make base classes (character, stats) with C++, make those into blueprints , then prototype and design as much as possible with BluePrint while making more custom blueprints in c++ when necessary.

I literally have been waiting for someone to help me with the technical aspects of game making (while I would take care about the creative portion and direction), but this essentially convinced me that I could start it off on my own, and eventually get people on board with it to finish it off.

  • @elviswjr

    I think I read somewhere that many early games were written in Assembly code or some other language that communicates directly with the hardware. So basically, developers didn't even have a user-friendly programming language to interpret their instructions. They literally had to tell the hardware exactly what they wanted it to do. As simple as games used to be, knowing that fact really makes me appreciate how much skill it took to make them back then.

    I’m very interested in developing games and just having fun while doing it. But with development software being so detail oriented and having all of the options that it does, it’s pretty daunting for me to just jump into anything.

    That's kinda what I like and appreciate about the games I played as a kid. Almost all the games I played as a kid all had their own engine made specifically for that one game. And sometimes if those engines were really good. They would reuse and update them. For example, the original buffy game on the og xbox uses an engine called the Slayer engine which was also used for Silent hill Homecoming I believe.

      @mangoac 7 лет назад

      Anthony Lewis alright. i knew it would have some kind of object creation, otherwise how would you make instances in a game. in java you can define variables as a type that you have created as an object. can you do that in c?

    • @mangoac
      @mangoac 7 лет назад

      Anthony Lewis i dunno much about c, but 'objects' in the language appear to be inherently related to structs. in object oriented languages you create and use your own objects. what i meant by that sentence was that in c, it appears that you have to use a struct type any time you want something that resembles an object.
      as far as engines n stuff is concerned, objects support the easy instance defining model of modern game design. it is much easier to expand upon your structure and implement new objects.

    • @mangoac
