[@SketchpunkLabs]

Think that might be a bit complex for this series. If you need help on networking, try to look up tutorials on creating a real time chat server. Should teach you client / server interactions and how to push out updates to connected clients. If your point is multiplayer games, the concept of a chat server can be used, instead of sending lol or whatnot to the chatroom(game match), you pass your current location and action (attacking, driving, etc) then the client games act apon that data. Something like this will get you started in the right direction in the fundamentals.

About the level editor I would suggest doing an XML system. What I mean is that instead of building a GUI tool for a level editor we can just write XML files which describe the structure of the scene objects in parent-child style, instead of writing code to create the UI one which will take us a lot of time. In this way it's gonna be easy editing scenes as just editing an XML file and the code that is going to read the xml file and build the scene , won't be something difficult also to implement.

I suspect this will be the best game programming series ever -- especially because its not going to be rendering-centric. One of the first thing I discovered first hand is that its fairly easy to write a working 3D rendering engine that is poorly designed for an actual game. I wish I could afford to support this.

[@Earl.Norris]

Why not open source the engine. Then the you can direct the volunteers and discuss the functions and features that they have added. I really am looking forward to your next video. It seems there is a fair amount of mac and linux people looking to contribute maybe it is best to keep it in opengl/vulkan. Also if the engine would be free to use it would greatly improve its growth and new features.

I'm glad you're starting on some of the more core features. There's already plenty of tuts on graphics and loading windows.

[@peterSobieraj]

From my experience if you are build engine by your self it's better to build "Level editor" as separate application. Same with "Texture Editor", "Model Editor", etc. There reason for it is when I build something big, I always make some mistakes in design, before I start writing code. Maybe that GUI library that I decided to use it's bad. Or maybe I should have organize files differently, or something else. If you build engine as one gigantic application, mistake like that will make you rewrite lot of code. In my case usually take down whole project. But if you separate it in to few applications, each time mistake like that hits you, it won't hurt that much. You can live with it, or fix it, or in worse case relatively quickly rewrite it. I'm a proffesional programmer for 13years, and still at every project at some point I'm saying to my self "I should have done it differently".

Suggest adding a content or asset management system. That way it stores things like textures, models, sounds, scripts, and shaders. That way they only get loaded once even if another file or object needs it and it can track what is and isn't using it. When it's no longer in use can tell memory manger to clean up. Later on you probably want a task manager to make use of multiple threads the best way possible.

[@yiandev4368]

CodeBlocks used to be the best C++ IDE many years ago, right now is an old IDE that doesnt get updated anymore with primitive interface, a terrible vritual file management system and terrible code completion or intellisense as its called in VS, nowdays even text editors with plugins VSCode,Atom,sublime are better than that, sadly in order to use VSCode/atom etc for C++ you need to manage manual build system cmake/meson which is cancer, and frankly doesnt even work you just get entangled in stupid shit build systems and waste 70% of your time handling include/library/unreferenced errors and build system errors. Thats C++ for ya, once you get outside of visual studio preset C++ IDE you will find C++ ecosystem equal with cancer, ive figured that C++ is so bad because of their linking/include model, i havent used personally any other language of any type that is as bad as C++. Here is the thing many dont know about Visual Studio: ITS NOT FREE, first you have to register to use more than 30 day evaluation and second if you use it for commercial application and have more than 5 employees you have to pay for pro or w/e version, like 3000$ a year, so yeah dont even get into arguments about visual studio, its a non option for anything commercial. If it doesnt have MIT/Apache licenses or equivalent = dont use stay away, unles you'r employer asks for you to know those tools and they pay for them. I wouldnt write shit thats my own with microsoft shit, that also goes for C# VS, Xamarin VS, and C++ MSVC toolchains, for all you have to pay if you go commercial, haha.
