Coding Challenge #5: Space Invaders in JavaScript with p5.js

[@codex5323]

you are the bob ross of programming

[@Matt23488]

+Codex I was literally about to say exactly that

[@codex5323]

+Matt23488 bob ross on steroids :)

[@djmurps1587]

A little bit of thalo blue or titanium white

[@codex5323]

Daniel Murphy lol

[@insi6358]

if bob ross did cocaine and speed painting This guy doesn't need the coke but bob's just too chill

[@erperejildo]

you are the teacher that no one had

[@X4DR]

Tru haha

[@mynameispaul718]

hahahah LMAO TRUE

[@Wouterferdinand]

xiwi haha true! Probably start coding again lol. Made a small attempt while ago, but idk this really speaks to me :)

[@CherPsKy]

be this guy for others in need.

[@RedEyedJedi]

He's the teacher I wish I had and now I do, on KZbin :)

[@DanielMuvdi]

Here's the meaning of the different equals sign operators: x = y assign to x the value of y x == y compare and return true if and only if the two have the same value (but not necessarily the same data type, try to convert them to the same type if possible x === y return true if and only if the two are identical and have the same data type. Obviously, the === comparison is more strict, while the == comparison allows you to be sloppy: "2" == 2 // true "2" === 2 // false false == 0 // true false === 0 // false

[@vizzymove]

Thanks for clarifying.

[@Pixel-ei8gi]

Thanks

[@animationlivegerman5989]

Thx

[@sleep3017]

THANK YOU!!!

[@CurryNoddles0814]

You’re my savior.

[@BulldogMindset]

I'm really enjoying these coding challenges lol

[@greenlemon5259]

Simple Programmer s

[@aurelianspodarec2629]

Ha! John! ^^ Me too! :) What a small world. Didn't knew you watch this, or watched ^^ Trying to get better at JavaScript :D

[@10spen11]

This is honestly amazing. You clearly know the language well, but you also are able to express your knowledge while coding. I have never learned JavaScript, but this video helped me understand how the language worked more than any others I had looked for on my own. Thank you for doing this, and keep up the good work!

[@TheCodingTrain]

+10spen11 thanks for this nice feedback!

[@YEET-oc1yk]

Daniel Shiffman be my teacher pls

[@sadhlife]

Falcondroid join ITP lol

[@cthulhu4606]

hes using a damn library. learn vanilla js instead

[@ShyDigi]

PC Master Race there is nothing wrong with using libraries. Hell in some languages they are downright needed for certain things. For example if you force yourself to try to make a game in c++ without a library then you are literally torturing yourself. Sfml sdl and sdl2 are all libraries

[@Tokyo_Pessi]

I can't find another youtuber interesting enough for me to be willing to watch him talk and type for over an hour or 2, I can watch you all day

[@strawberriesandcream2863]

40mins and not boring at all👏👏the way he codes so quickly and effectively is fascinating to a beginner like me😍

[@fercode07]

Who can dislike this amazing and smart guy? He makes excellent videos with a freat sence of humor and teachings. I love this channel !

[@dolebiscuit]

I am learning SO MUCH from your videos. I can't thank you enough for sharing your time and knowledge with the world. That kind of generosity is what makes the world a better place.

[@disko.kommando]

Dan, you are a gifted entertainer and programmer! Keep up the great work mango!

[@AAundead]

My mango is to blow up.

[@blb]

I absolutely appreciate how he will briefly and subtlety explain anything new that he adds to the program. Allows you to follow along without really knowing what he's doing at first. Brilliant

[@a1b2c3z44]

I'm not even a programmer, why am i here? it is fun to watch tho. so good job, i guess?

[@hassnaelmarouani4804]

Pino K. K. I'm not a painter yet I loved to watch Bob Ross draw. it's the same concept just about coding rather than drawing.

[@sankari8763]

+Hassna Elmarouani I really like that reply, I never would have thought of that analogy

[@yesveryprofesionalnameyes6055]

I am programmer but k dont understand 99% of whta he is talking abaout so it is same thing..

[@salmanahmad1]

SkullMaster 1785 -Gaming And More than u are definitely not play LMAO

[@lewby3433]

Dan keeps saying noone is watching 'til the end. Well I did! Anyone else?

[@craigthecat4202]

Yes. Even more experienced programmers like myself can learn a thing or 2. I gain loads at watching how he tackles a problem. Much more efficient than I've ever approached any problem.

[@sadhlife]

this guy is really seasoned. he probably started coding at a ypung age, and has been teaching software for probably more than a decade. but he still looks really young. he is an inspiration to me.

[@thelavagod]

Me too! (:

[@markormandy]

These videos are fantastic mate. Your positive vibe is infectious.

[@TheCodingTrain]

+Mark Kram thanks for the nice feedback!

[@marcsman07]

Why does this not have more views?!? YOUR STUFF IS AWESOME! KEEP IT UP!!!

[@gabrielebacchieri]

this.views

[@ItumelengS]

Gabriele Bacchieri you have been watching😂

[@ThePipeman125]

Gabriele Bacchieri this.views is undefined

[@sadhlife]

KZbin propaganda. nah I'm just kidding. or am i

[@iamdictatorpo]

Man I wish you had these videos around when I started programming. The way you describe what you are doing while you are doing it is really cool. Quick, descriptive, and efficient explanations. Keep up the good work.

[@TheCodingTrain]

+Seamore Cox Thanks i'm so glad to hear!

[@danandtab7463]

I have a lot of "new favorite channels" and this is one of them. Fantastic teaching style. I could hang out here learning javascript all day.

[@TheDrawdex]

This is the best interest inducing code channel I've ever seen. You've bought me into P5 and Process my good sir.

[@TheCodingTrain]

+Draw dex (Drawdex) glad to hear thank you!!

[@pakcheesy2]

Daniel Shiffman when will you be live next?

[@probablyrobert9086]

as someone who knows nothing about coding, I can't tell how impressive this is, but to me its astounding and so cool to see. he also seems so happy doing it which is so awesome. keep up what your doing its so different and really interesting to see :)

[@TheDogn]

I love how you're willing to answer the common questions no one else bothers to.

[@huntermaxwell3086]

I absolutely love your coding challenges, and just your personality as a whole. You really articulate the point well. And you can give a good sense of what can also be done beyond the code being used in each of your own examples. This is truly where entertainment meets learning and makes a harmonious interaction.

[@TheCodingTrain]

Thank you!

[@ch535]

You are a rockstar! You are the only coder on the web who makes programming entertaining, which for me means not getting distracted by Netflix and old arcade style games. Watching your videos is like watching my favorite TV show, which is exactly what I need from tutorials. JavaScript is hard enough to learn when I'm enjoying it.

[@howardbaxter2514]

Finally a channel I can watch that knows how to code properly!

[@asliceofpie5124]

Wow, you dont even know how much i look up to you! I was here all night watching your challenges and tutorials. Keep it up!!

[@1DJLNR]

Great vids, your humour and knowledge of programming to teach is priceless!!! Keep up the good work just like this always!!

[@geordierumbles99]

great channel to teach my little brother when my time is running low. you explain everything beautifully for beginners and don't stay on shit to long for it to be boring for veterans

[@TheCodingTrain]

+Geordie Rumbles so glad to hear this!

[@marwenabbes8350]

yep that's totally right i enjoy watching him teach i even became addicted to this channel x'D Great work (y)

[@manofmars7332]

dear daniel, thank you for showing what programming can do. I was hesitant to learn programming because I thought it was boring and would be more work than it is worth. but after seeing you program this in 40 minutes I am amazed that its actually possible to get this much done in a day! I know it would take me much longer, but still amazing nonetheless.

[@TheCodingTrain]

This is so nice to hear, thank you!

[@tyborg314]

Man Of Mars its fun until you have deadlines for pointless code you care nothing about

[@TheAwesomeGuy871]

I have absolutely no idea how to code but I still feel like I'm learning so much when I watch these

[@RedEyedJedi]

Dude you are an awesome teacher. Stop worrying about if people are still watching, they will be because the content is top notch. I really love the way you do it on the fly instead of rehearsing it as you talk us through the problems as they come up and how to solve them and it is this that interests me the most. Great work my friend.

[@trungucpham6074]

You are truly Bob Ross of Programming. Very inspiring series.

[@steefdewaard6947]

Im codingfor almost 5 months and i learn so much of your codechallenges :) thankyou

[@TheCodingTrain]

So nice to hear thank you!

[@erperejildo]

I have been coding for 8h and I have to keep working but it's quite funny to see these kind of videos. Please keep making code easy and funny!!

[@TheCodingTrain]

I plan to!

[@GinsuGames]

how did you get the dark skin for p5?

[@ereiter2228]

Looks to me that he's using Sublime, not the p5.js IDE. :P www.sublimetext.com/

[@mateja176]

Usually I never watch videos over 10 minutes on KZbin, but coding challanges are definitely an exception.

[@Roneniii]

Man you really make coding interesting. I'm learning monogame and almost all of the tutorials are boring or don't explain what they are doing too good. This is not monogame but it's really fun to watch how you deal with problems. The greenscreen is spot on and really helps to understand what you are doing.

[@JacquesOozy]

Yes sir, there are plenty of people watching your videos entirely ^^ What's most surprising is that I actually understand everything that you did (I'm only beginning to learn Javascript) which means that even if you're going insanely fast, your explanations are crystal clear ! Besides, your enthusiasm and energy are super motivating :)

[@RKing434]

this is extremely fun to watch I watched a couple of these programming challenges and already learned a lot of things and also when you asked if someone is still watching, I was :)

[@PasquinelOrtiz]

I stay the 40 minutes! your charisma is what made me stay to learn. Good job, keep up the good work.

[@loekaars]

This is like Bob Ross, but with coding

[@HonkChamp]

someone else left this same comment a year before this lmao

[@DallasOliver91]

I've Been learning javascript for a month now. The way you are able to define problems and come up with workable solutions so quickly is mind boggling to me. Hopefully one day i will be able to think critically and efficiently when building programs.

[@mahsasahebdivani3883]

I first subscribed to learn coding! but now i'm enjoying the videos too much with popcorns and a big smile that i forget to practice them myself, thanks for the energy u share:D

[@Born2EditHD]

You're the funniest person ive ever watched. Im not even watching these to learn haha

[@ricardosallin1670]

Greatest of all programming teachers. Truly amazing!! Cheers from Brazil

[@gregpaoloboongaling6849]

Oh, boy. you are awesome. Watched your videos 'til the end. You are fun to watch and you have this unique charisma :) Your vids makes me think that coding is fun.

[@Sebasdlh]

A part inside of me feels uncomfortable watching if (d < this.r + flower.r) { return true; } else{ return false; } when you could just write return d < this.r + flower.r;

[@infrakazos]

Oof

[@Nipki]

i dont know anything about coding but im binge watching this guys videos and im somehow still entertained... Great job!

[@TheCodingTrain]

These comments make me so happy.

[@iNyxik]

Cash I'm using these to learn js honestly, it's helping a lot to learn coding games for myself, friends and maybe one day consumers

[@angladephil]

Salut de France ! J'adore ces coding challenges. BRAVO !

[@slyferddx]

I don't understand a single thing, but this guy is really fun to watch.

[@Naej7]

You still have not realized that we could be watching you programming for hours :D

[@bastuebducloy2164]

I really love you're video you are so gentle and good to explain things for programs. I start p5 and I love it! pls continue you're video don't stop and KEPP GOING!

[@LionPlays359]

Just found your channel and already I love your videos. The way you talk and the concept of the videos are so nice.

[@SJNaka101]

Hey you rock! You produce some of the most entertaining educational material out there. There's something really special here.

[@TheCodingTrain]

Thank you, so nice to hear!

[@James21691]

I know this video is a few weeks old but hopefully you see this comment: you're doing a really great job with this channel, you're clearly a grreat programmer and an enthusiastic guy, which I really like. And of course, I'm not really qualified to give you advice on the direction of the channel, but for challenges like this that aren't timed, it going a little more in depth with the polish of the final product, the explanations you give for what you're doing being more detailed, and the length of the video increasing are not bad things. Also having the stream active on the side has a lot of potential, you looking at questions in the chat and responding to them could save confusion for people watching on KZbin who have the same questions, and interaction with fans is always a good thing. Ultimately, the channel is great regardless, just my thoughts on the coding videos, keep up the great work! :)

[@diogovilela7334]

Just found these Coding Challenges while watching a video about Design Patterns, love the concept and the channel! Keep up the great work, just amazing :D

[@Otzo]

Honestly, first person that makes coding fun to even just watch xD Lovin' it.

[@realcygnus]

great channel !.......there were no such resources when I was a learning in my day......exactly what the net is(should be) for !......its really something to appreciate

[@alak1414]

Indeed.

[@sadhlife]

"I don't even paint why am I watching Bob Ross?" "I don't even code why am I watching Daniel Shiffman code space invaders?" yeah.

[@Peter-dk2ov]

This was an excellent video. Don't worry so much about how long you're taking. It's very informative to watch a programmer work out problems in real time

[@TheCodingTrain]

Thanks for the nice feedback!

[@Peter-dk2ov]

Thank you for the free lesson

[@majesticspaceduck876]

This is a really cool idea for a channel/challenge. Love the presentation.

[@terryfied]

I love the way you keep your errors for all to see, instead of editing them out of your videos.

[@craigthecat4202]

I love your channel. One of the best programming channels I've came across.

[@ColinTimmins]

Thank you for all the instructional videos. I’m 45 and just started to code. Love your style. =]

[@frosk1n]

I learn so much from you, while having fun. Please never stop having fun

[@TheCodingTrain]

Thanks for the nice feedback!

[@centralpicks]

Daniel Shiffman, your enthusiasm makes me want to win life.

[@sKuNKdoSE]

I'm still quite new to all this, but I have to say you're a brilliant teacher! Keep up the excellent work and never worry about the length of your videos man! I'm probably going to spend the rest of the day (at least) on your channel lol

[@Th0rn3d]

My father made space invaders, using faces of people on his job, when he was younger

[@Fingeroo]

What?

[@Th0rn3d]

Lawrence Rhodes I fixed it now

[@BanditLeader]

Teho12345 still wrong

[@Th0rn3d]

Bandit Leader happy now? xD

[@BanditLeader]

Teho12345 sure

[@blakealanfoster]

Your videos are great. I'm learning to code now and these are the most immersive videos I have found so far.

[@neolamanite]

wow. What a cool channel man. This is educational, challenging and you make it entertaining. Thanks for it!

[@sabrinalopez6076]

I love that he explains everything! its like amazing! imagine if he didn't. it'd be like 20 mins shorter omg thanks so much for the extra time and effort ily

[@kyleknutson3576]

You are absolutely delightful, man. Keep on going!

[@ricande]

Daniel. If you ever met John, from John's Arcade, the universe would implode. Love this!

[@rayerdinc2441]

And all your other videos. Fantastic and easy to follow. Brilliant, thank you so much.

[@valeotro2]

i dont know a thing about programing, but u make it sound so easy, i dont get all of it, but the general idea always gets tru. keep up the good work! love from Argentina.

[@prestongalloway7008]

wow... my nerdy side couldn't resist subscribing. Great vid by the way

[@PetterBruland]

Yay! I do not program often, nor for anything useful, but this was really fun to watch. Awesome job!

[@josephcarroll6356]

You have awesome energy! Very relaxed in your own skin.

[@eruitog7410]

Best coding teacher ever! The way you teach makes it so hard for me to NOT pay attention.

[@BattleHamfree]

Dude, seriously....this is just awesome ! I just found your channel yesterday, without knowing anything about programmin, java and so on. Right now, I'm damn interested in this :D I just did your "Purple Rain - Program". It was hard for me, but I think I got it right ;) Keep going like this. I'll be watching your videos from now on all the time i possible can :D

[@tibfox]

What a Joy to watch to your videos ! Thanks

[@TheCodingTrain]

Thank you so much!

[@natsuhiboshi7161]

Hey Daniel! I really like your videos, found your channel yesterday and your Coding Challenge Snake instantly motivated me to follow your example and try it myself! ::D Earlier today, while creating my own Snake version, I came upon a problem when comparing two values and I didn't know how to approach it! :S And now I'm watching this video where you explain the solution to my exact problem (== VS ===) just 'between the lines'. I'm amazed! :D Thanks for all your efforts and work! Keep it up! :)

[@Texplanations]

Your Videos are Great!!! I wonder why I didn't find you earlier!! You make coding really fun!!!

[@joeldeleon6470]

I love your content, it's amazing how happy you are. Cheers!

[@invalidinvalid2819]

your videos are very inspiring and motivating. I'm going to start programming in a few hours after I have setup everything I need. keep up the good work!

[@TheCodingTrain]

wonderful, can't wait to hear what you make!

[@youchuanwang1738]

We see passion and love in you. That's y we enjoy your videos.

[@TheCodingTrain]

Thank you!

[@TheANDROIDDAB]

I'm a new subscriber, so sorry if this is already common knowledge, but are you a teacher? I stumbled on to your channel, and I am SOOOO glad I did!Like, your energy and passion make your videos so entertaining, even though I don't know much about coding! I feel like you'd be every student's favorite teacher... you'd definitely be mine! Lol. Keep up the amazing work! I'm going to go through your vids and watch them all!

[@NoCrispin]

These videos are great. Inspirational, educational, and fun!

[@Rand00mThing]

I love everything about your videos. I've always found programming intriguing.

[@ErnestGWilsonII]

Wow! Excellent! I just found your channel and I clicked the thumbs up and subscribed!

[@ashiinsane90]

i wish some one like you would give C++ tutorials, i really enjoy your content

[@yellow_tatoes1473]

just learn java script and then you can translate it

[@yellow_tatoes1473]

honestly after watching these videos I really want to learn Java scrip so I can do these things.

[@ruxi6201]

all that can be made in other languages

[@xBDCFF]

All of these videos can be translated to C++ easily with a framework like OpenFramework, i'm actually learning c++ with these videos and this framework ^^

[@cornetapluspluseleven9296]

Just try out this guy kzbin.info/door/-yuWVUplUJZvieEligKBkA?&ab_channel=javidx9 it's good stuff.

[@addserver2639]

I know I’m a bit late but I’m new to the channel and have been binge watching your videos and I love the good vibe

[@TheCodingTrain]

Thank you and welcome!

[@Syncromatic]

I find it funny that the bigger "flowers" move closer more due to the way you made it work for each flower individually xD It's a feature, not a bug!

[@bharbir]

why did i go to uni... this video making me question my life choices keep up the good work mate

[@sameeresmail6636]

You really help the learning process dude, major God send

[@StureLarsson]

Your stuff got me inspired to program more! Love all your content! Keep it up!!!

[@eyerahulk]

bro..ur awsme..seriously i love the way you just code it all..keep going..good luck👍

[@JordanShackelford]

Do you think it's better to use percentages vs. "magic number' pixel values to make the game more "responsive"? For example when you want the ship to be slightly above the bottom of the screen you could set its value to (0.99 * height) instead of (height - 20)

[@Fingeroo]

Depends on what you mean by responsive. Using a fraction or percentage of the screen height would respond better to having the window resized, but it wouldn't make much of a difference in terms of user input, if that's what you meant.

[@alhaeri1]

your a legend u made me love coding, my 2017 goal is to learn coding

[@user-yh9sz6eo9y]

Just discovered this channel and totally loved it.. Keep up the good work you earned a new subscribe sir!

[@keepars4095]

36:05: "is anyone still watching this video?" Yes, yes I am. I enjoy coding but I'm still a novice and I'm actually learning some neat tricks from your videos :) +1 subscribe

[@Dazai_0-samu]

i really like your chanel keep it up man!

[@tim170]

I watched this until the end ! Lovin it!
