Game Development for Noobs | Beginner Guide

[@FlowStudio]

Okay everyone scroll down to see the correct answers for the problem! . . . . . . 1. Polygon! All meshes are made from polygons. Within games polygons must be 3 sided/triangles, though typically in animation and 3D design polygons are 4 sided. 2. Code! All it needs is code so we can start giving the ball commands on what to do and when. 3. 3D in almost all scenarios will run slower in comparison. Almost anything can slow down a game though, an 8k 2D image with an intense shader/material will put a lot more stress on the game than a normal 3D model.

[@inazumarai7690]

his boots are made from goomba skin, harvested from the flattened corpses of his foes. the elasticity let's him absorb impact when he lands because they squash, allowing him to jump higher because the shoes stretch out after being squashed previously. this squash and stretch jump cycle allows mario to reach greater heights, though it seems to be limited at mario's incredible jump yes, this is truly, certainly the science behind Mario's jump

That is not only magical from the point of view of logic, but also how it have been done. Like, consoles back then were running low on computing power and memory, and they implemented physics. That is real magic and skill

[@theologicalmonochromaticbo2102]

If Mario is touching the ground he may begin to jump For as long as Mario is jumping and does not collide with any objects which would otherwise impede his vertical ascent he will rise an average of 5 blocks or 6 if jump was initiated whilst running. After the peak of his jump is reached, Mario shall descend back down at a constant rate until colliding with an object which prevents a further vertical decrease in position. If the object that ends Mario's jump is a basic floor tile he may initiate another jump sequence. If this jump is done less than 1 second after contact with the floor, he received a small boost (this may be repeated an additional time).

The 3d will load longer because the object isn't just one shape it has lots of polygons which have to be loaded and then rendered with lighting, shadows and maybe raytracing depending on if you playing on Mobile, Console, Laptop, Desktop PC or an Airplane

My answers to the three questions. 1. Triangle. I've watched too many Mario64 videos to not know this. 2. Code/Script(or simply "controls"). A Script that gets button input, and turns that into an event(or action). 3. It depends. The size of the 2d sprite could be so large, that it takes longer to load than the 3d ball. However! In general, it's typically the 3d ball that loads slower.

[@Known_as_The_Ghost]

Checking the answers, it appears I didn't understand question 1. "What the name of the shapes..." Again, I've watched too many SM64 videos to know it's a Polygon. ... and Pokemon, "Porygon" ... and Smash 64, "Fighting Polygon Team" Well. I'm glad I didn't completely fail the little test. +1

[@MrCaps-sq4bk]

1. Polygons 2. Code 3 The 3D Sphere, because compared to the 2D sphere or shape, the 3D sphere has more assets and data, therefore it will take longer because it needs to load in more information and it's more taxing on the system.

[@aruretheincomprehensible20]

This is a great video, but I think there should have been a piece of information that I think would go in assets. The assets section lists stuff like barrels, characters, trees, etc., and this I think gives the impression that all assets are physical stuff that appears within the game world that the player sees and can potentially interact with. However, I think music is something important enough for video games that I think it should have at least had a passing mention in this section.

[@jeremypena57]

Excellent illustration man!!

[@TheRiggedDev]

I recomend this video for beginners it is really good Answers: 1. the shapes are called polygon and a mesh can be made with a single polygon but the polygon will have atleast a million points 2. First we attach some physics component like rigidbody and make a script that will check for user input every frame and add force or set the velocity to like 10 when the user presses the move key or button 3. the 3D ball will be slower since it is built with with thousands of 2D polygon and for each frame all of the polygons points need to be calculated properly and the 2D only just renders a image without having to calculate thousands of stuff my answers might be hard to understand but it is a detailed answer and this answer is not copied

Just look at Thomas Brush with his course, and his type of game dev is mega simplistic compared to something the quality of Lens Island, yet people are lapping it up paying him 400 bucks for his course.

[@jaxfrank]

In your video you confounded the concepts of Object Oriented Programming(OOP) and Entity Component Systems(ECS). Although you may have done this for simplification reasons I believe this is a very bad mistake and could confuse people if this is their first introduction to game development or programming. To explain what I mean, OOP is a programming methodology where as ECS is a design pattern. Programming methodologies are the overarching way of designing software and generally changes the over all style of the software being written. Design patterns are more focused and are generally applied to a single problem within a specific context. Design patterns generally do not rely on a specific programming methodology although this is not always the case. For instance an ECS can be written using OOP practices or not it completely depends on who is writing the system and what they are trying to achieve. The distinction between programming methodologies and design patterns is not the only issue with confounding OOP and ECS. The bigger issue, I think, is that ECS is used to prioritize composition over inheritance which is exactly the opposite of object oriented design. In an ECS your entity is a container that holds many components all of which are mostly unrelated to one another. This provides the benefit of having extremely reusable blocks. In an object oriented design however, your entity would be have very little but could have functionality added to it through inheritance(I am not going to explain inheritance here). Hopefully it is clear how comparing OOP and ECS can be problematic. My apologies for the wall of text. Otherwise this was a very solid video if a little simplistic. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more tutorials as well as progress on Len's Island.
