This is the exact same way i learnt C++, every single day i would force myself to work on an asteroids clone for a few hours, and when the game got finished, i learnt a lot, then i followed some C++ tutorials to learn some more advanced stuff, and here i am, i wouldn't call myself a master but i am attempting to start to write my own game engine.

[@ledira8539]

I recommend learning to program with raw code. My season is that you get insight and expertise you wouldn't ever get with the safety net that is game engines. You are thrown into a world and are given infinite possibilities, if you are dedicated. There are so many things you learn about games and how they work and I personally think the fact it can be as customisable as you want, makes a project feel a lot more personal and earned. I don't want to say I look down on game engines because they have provided us with amazing things and are great when it comes to introducing concepts of game development but they never gave me something raw coding didn't.

[@Floky]

I do agree with everything you said, however I see game engines as a way to create fun games quite quickly, I'm not the kind of person that wants to work 7 years on 1 game, making my own game engine etc... 😂

[@ledira8539]

@@Floky And I respect that opinion😃 I mean I agree with it 😅 but that is why I mentioned you have to be dedicated. It takes a while but the feeling of satisfaction from coding a game from scratch is next level. I appreciate all the things you can do with a game engine though. I personally want to make a game, alone or with 1 or 2 other people. As little people as possible and make sure it checks my standards before releasing it, kinda like how stardew valley was developed? Wish me luck!

Don't discredit yourself!

[@TheJanhalsema1]

Well produced video mate!, Thanks for providing the source code :). There's a tiny bug (Out of bounds write to an array) at the start of your main function. You declare int WindowDimensions[1]; which causes the array to be of size 1, but then writing the window height into it WindowDimensions[1] = 720; at place 2 in the array causes undefined behaviour. Ran into this when trying to build it on my laptop 🙂

[@FarQuZeDesigns]

I heard "C++ in one week" and in my mind there was a big fat "NO" :D But i have to say that it is way easier to work with C++ in Unreal Engine. Epic Games made it as easy as possible. You just need to know the basic structures Epic uses to create certain objects. Then it's only about vectors, booleans and some variables. I think with a basic knowledge of C++ you can do a lot in Unreal Engine. I'm impressed with how much you learned in just one week my friend! You seem to have what it takes to be a coder/game developer :) Keep going!

[@Floky]

Indeed, unreal engine came a long way!

[@gardendado1999]

Maybe knowing the concepts of game dev are what makes programming easier

[@EonMist]

​​@@gardendado1999this too, but there's no "right" ways to deal with game development, and what others see as "right" is often just another way of learning and making Just simply enjoying the process of analyzing and building your game, and experimenting with the properties and functionality is just great to me

Yeah, I would say that course def teaches you enough! I actually only did half of the course. I personally couldn't have asked for a better introduction to coding 😁

[@amaury_permer]

I think you could have a state for the dinosaur and map the bounding box to it So you can have a different bounding box for each state or even an array of bounding boxes for each state, as it is just a 2D game and not so many things happen at the same time it should not be a big deal in performance

[@LivingDeadApocalypse]

Learning c++ syntax takes one week, learning c++ compilers, ides and libraries takes a life.
