      A block in the terms of creativity is basically a point where someone's motivations, creations and work feel uninspired from the perspective of the creator itself. I once had this when I started to question why was I even drawing. Although I can still draw good, my creativity took a hit because of my doubts.

    • @yondaime500
      @yondaime500 5 лет назад +344

      Maybe it's not that complicated. You can read the window position in the code just a easily as you read the mouse position in "normal" games. So you detect when it changes and move the world in the opposite direction, then calculate the collision with the character (Box2D can do that, for example). I've never tried that though, so I could be wrong.

    • @eng3d
      @eng3d 5 лет назад +151

      No. It is not complicated. If you use WinForms then you could capture the screen and simulate transparency. It's trivial to read the position of the Forms. WPF allows more tricks and it allows transparency.

    also you know you can disable the useless searchbar, right? just rightclick the taskbar -> cortana -> first option.
    you can still search like normal by just opening the start menu and typing into that directly. same exact function, it just doesn't waste any space on the taskbar
    also it would've been really useful to see the cursor
