6 Months of Learning JavaScript Game Dev in 6 Minutes

[@plasticsamalt6633]

As someone who just started my 3D programming journey, learning JS (and code in general), this video is inspiring as hell! Subscribed

[@SuboptimalEng]

Awesome to see more people starting to learn 3D coding in JavaScript 🙌

[@plasticsamalt6633]

​@@SuboptimalEng I would love some tips, because basically threejs is my goal here, and I just started learning JS.

[@SuboptimalEng]

@@plasticsamalt6633 If you just started learning JS, then I'd recommend making 2D games in HTML canvas. It's a lot easier to get started there. Once you understand the fundmentals, you can start picking up frameworks like Three JS.

I feel the Rubik's cube is hardest among them in terms of logic And also has a lot of potential of some unintentional amazing bugs : P

Rubik's cube logic is probably quite simple if you understand Abstract Algebra and Group Theory. (Which I don't.)

actually I'm a web developer and when I woke up this this morning why not making games then i came across this vd it was really beneficial for me and now I'm gonna start my journey in game dev with three.js and I loved the piano you made it's gonna be my first project since I really love music and most of piano games are payed or not that responsive so I'll make it for all the guys that really want to learn playing the piano and the financial support is what stopping them inchaalah when I'm done I'll put an update in this comment hope me luck

Nice video but there's one thing I should point out. If you know any programming language like Js for example unity is not hard. I say go for it, if you wanna get serious with gamedev a library is not an artistic tool

The rubiks cube bug reminds me of another bug I got in my Matlab class when I accidentally coded perfect 3D rotation on a 2D graph due to some error in my math formula lol Can't help but appreciate these bugs

[@SuboptimalEng]

Have to agree here. Often times the bugs give more interesting visualizations than the fixes.

That Rubik's cube would make an awesome loading 'spinner'. Side note: I think some of the stuff you covered in the three.js tutorial (planets rotation), could help finish that rasengan model :)

[@jawyor-k3t]

conclusions? was it worth it? what are your future plans?

[@SuboptimalEng]

Was it worth it? I think so - it helped me get started quickly. But I also realized that lots of game dev/graphics jobs require knowledge of C++ or C#. So if that's your end goal, starting like this might not be worth it for you. Currently, I'm really interested in graphics programming so I've been learning how to write GLSL shaders. For this, you don't even need Three.js or Unity, just Shadertoy.

[@MHW-nu7pz]

Nice video! I really love what you built! I will be going to start to learn the threejs. Is it that I have to be good at math before starting it?

[@SuboptimalEng]

That’s great to hear! You don’t need much math unless you want to become a shader magician.

[@MHW-nu7pz]

@SuboptimalEng Really? Only the shader requires advanced math?

[@SuboptimalEng]

Depends on how complex your applications are. Most of the games I made in this video do not use math beyond trigonometry. The last game uses physics, but I imported a library to help with that.

Hi suboptimal Engineer, I am back, and I am still learning to code, but I am having fun doing so. I would have never imagined but picking up React and learning how to write in this library with useState and useEffect has improved my skills in writing functions, I use to suck badly. I would have never guessed by me learning React this would be the case. Now, I would like to improve my skills in classes, and I figured can you improve your skills in JavaScript and classes and objects by making games?
