One year of my C++ SFML journey

If you are asking yourself how I did collision detection before knowing AABB or SAT this is what I developed back then (edit: link missing youtube didn't like it ;*)

[@MINECANGI]

i watch your videos!

[@y3v4d]

Despite having years and years of game dev experience, I have very little programs to show off, because I deleted them or just never really finished most of the projects (talking about personal games and tools, not for work). This video inspired me to start making my own little library of small/medium sized games and tools. Thank you for it and good luck on your journey!

[@snapi]

After 6 years I still have my first programs hidden somewhere on my discs. I never deleted any project, no matter how bad it would be. Thank you for the kind words and also good luck in making your library!

This was honestly really inspiring. It seems much more fun when it's a small project, rather than an entire game. I'll have to try to make some of these. Thanks.

That's amazingly inspiring! I feel such a sense of jealousy, but in a good way. I just started the planning stage for my own game engine during the Unity crisis that just happened. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to work on it. But man, do I wish I had it done and had some games made with it already! Keep up the good work! I'll probably try some of these myself!

[@martindejonge695]

Great stuff. I tried remaking Battlecity with CPP and SFML and a nice script system with some rules on how to draw sprites, how fast animations should be, and what draw priority the object gets. I ended up making a program with CPP and Wxwidgets that allowed me to build objects visually and preview how the animations would look then save it to a file and add it to a meta file for the game to load

[@snapi]

That sounds cool!

[@snapi]

Thank you!

[@SUCHMISH]

While even having no updates for years now, the SFML libraries can still do some impressive things. I too am using it to bulid my own game and game engine, I'm currently working on a map editor and code to read the map files and to check for collision. Then I'll build up from there one peice at a time. I wish you luck on your deving journey!

[@snapi]

Thank you good sir! But I have to tell you that SFML still receives some smaller updates, you can see it on their discord or github ps. Good luck in building your game :p

[@snapi]

@TheSnowscar For me SFML is learning tool I will not be making any big projects that I want to sell or something like that. I know it pretty well and after seeing bit of SDL2 I still prefer SFML over it. I love SFML and I have a lot of fun with it thats all

[@someone3542]

OpenGL is deprecated on some platforms if you have the time for it consider using bgfx as it is less deprecated and very similar to OpenGL(Even uses the same shader language I think)

[@Lee14G]

Amazing work using C++ and SFML man! Keep it up. I would suggest not getting too caught up in creating the best engine. Try to create a MVP or minimum viable product. Engines can take up a lot of your time. Keep up the great work though!

[@snapi]

Thanks! Mainly I develop my engine to help me creating new applications so it's not that big (it has more in common with framework actually), but it was a fun challenge creating something that has to work flawlessly. All in all I left it for now because I really spent too much time on it, now I'm working on new video and I think it's going to be quite enjoyable ;)

[@Lee14G]

@@snapi Nice work dude! If you want people to make games with your framework make sure you have good documentation. I would like to take it for a spin. You seem like a great developer.

[@snapi]

@@Lee14G Thanks for the warm words. You are totally right documentation is really needed, but currently I don't have one. In the future I need to spent some time on it too.

[@astroid-ws4py]

Building a game in C++ is fine as long as you concentrate on building your specific game and not trying to make a general purpose engine, In fact by building a specific solution you can achieve better performance and customized look for your game.

Great job! I was thinking about learning graphical programming with opengl or vulkan, but maybe I should try sfml first so my mind wouldn't explode😂

[@snapi]

SFML is excellent for beginniers as well as experienced programmers if you want to make some games you should definitely start with SFML, but if you want to sit for hours trying to figure out why doesn't your triangle draw, then go on with opengl or vulkan :p

[@BetaChri5]

Vulkan is overkill unless you really, really, really want to get into graphics on a professional level. OpenGL on the other hand is clunky but not too bad imo :)
