Also Potato: "I've managed to render 40,000 blades of grass in pygame without lag."

Excellent chat chaps! Tim is great to hear from.

[@kingdev8688]

I love these podcast type videos, It’s great to have something to listen and it’s actually about something that I enjoy.

[@skysurfer_kon1641]

Dafluffypotato, how did you make the water for your other game you're working on? Could you maybe make a tutorial on that sometime? I really want to see how to do it in detail!

[@DaFluffyPotato]

There are other good sources online if you just search for 2D water physics. It’s pretty much the same for all languages/libraries.

[@skysurfer_kon1641]

@@DaFluffyPotato Thanks for the quick reply!
I just looked through around 10... I can't seem to find anything.
Do you use math sine waves or a type of wave for the water?

[@skysurfer_kon1641]

Dafluffypotato, I am working on a game right now (with python) and really don't know what to add to my menu. What are some vital things on a main menu?
What I have:
- title
- level select
- options
Love ur videos!

[@kingdev8688]

My guess is if you keep developing your game, there will be more and more things you will need to add

[@electricimpulsetoprogramming]

save

[@electricimpulsetoprogramming]

load

[@TimBeaudet]

I would put a quit option for a PC game, but otherwise keeping the main menu simple is a great idea. The better question to ask is "what must a user have quick access to immediately upon starting?" The answer depends greatly on your game and the players expectations for that genre.

[@aimenechikhi8553]

i have a question : i have a goal of making a modified version of minecraft to be more like a mmorpg with so many classes and the ability to create your own skills! (of course there is a limitatiion to what u can create) can pygame handle this or the program will be just very slow
thank u :)

[@DaFluffyPotato]

Don’t do 3D in Pygame

[@varient3217]

Don't do it, pyame is only 2d use an engine for that kind of stuff, or if you wanna just program use java and lwjgl.

[@aimenechikhi8553]

​@@DaFluffyPotato thanks
and i like how direct the answer is :)

[@earthian2777]

What learning regime would you recommend for someone trying to get better at game dev and programming in general?

[@TimBeaudet]

I recommend just get started and doing. Watching / reading endless tutorials will let you get better at following instructions, but actually doing things and trying to solve the problems without finding a ready answer, is the way to build the skills. It is hard, but stick with it and you'll get there.
