    3:35 I must be missing something. How do you get to that separation axis in code where you cannot look at the shapes and just draw a line and then take the dot product of that? All the talk after that on projecting onto that separation axis doesn't compute for me, because I don't know how to get to that axis.

    This is viable for simple shitty 2d games, but if you want to make something more serious, good luck with that lol. lemme just make a duplicate of unreal lol. "you only need the features your game needs" so far i've used up to 15-20 systems that unreal has that have decades of development in them and hundreds of people working on them.

    most of us have written many multiple engines, dont asume we are all using unity. if you are over 30 then you probably were writing engines when half the unity kids were still in nappies.

  • @anon_y_mousse
    @anon_y_mousse 23 дні тому

    After thinking about it for a few more months, I'd still suggest the same as before, only I'd revise it by saying to avoid both Unity and Godot. Writing your own engine isn't equivalent to writing a game. The logic and math involved in writing an engine is significantly more complex and with engines like Unreal, you can point and click to make a game. If you're doing it to make money and you don't have a good foundation in math, then there are open source tools such as Tiled, TrenchBroom and the ubiquitous Blender for making your various game assets and open source engines like Doom and Quake. The Doom 3 engine is GPL'd so you can create a fully featured 3D game and sell it. What's more, since you can create all of the assets in a WAD file, you don't need to open source anything you create when publishing a game using said engine. If you have a good foundation in math, or are capable of learning it adequately, then sure, give it a go because it can be a valuable learning experience, but these days, it's really not necessary and it can be a huge time saver to not start from scratch. If you give it a go, choose wisely on which programming language you use. I would recommend C and doing nothing fancy, especially for a first try, but it's not the easiest language to use for someone who's new to programming and if you're not serious about learning and just want to get something done, I'll say it again, but an existing engine is still the best path.

  • @Geppetto1881

  • @rodolfolorote9059

    Seems like you just re-invented event consumption. In most UI systems, an event object is propegated as long as the event is not marked consumed (or sometimes as long as the event handling function returns false/not-handled). Naming this cursor makes me wonder if you are intertwining the concepts of what/where is currently focused, with the user action performed.

    • @Skeffles
      @Skeffles Місяць тому

      Thanks for watching, that's an interesting point! I see this as a first step for UI like you mentioned. I'll keep your comment in mind for when I want to flesh out the UI system more.

  • @Golanhast
    @Golanhast Місяць тому

    Basically. You made a sophisticated system that doesn't even needed to be made. Instead of actually making a normal input event system with pools, priority and event propagation until someone ( layer, object, button, etc. ) will handle this input event and then check this input event as "handled". And then. Propagation will stop. If this is what you meant in your video then choose more appropriate words to say. But why do you need to create something new ( And even in such a roundabout way ) when system is already exists? I'd understood if your system is better in some way and provides a new features.

    • @Skeffles
      @Skeffles Місяць тому

      Thanks for watching and raising this with me! I've done some reading about event dispatching in visual trees and I see this as a basic version of that. Primarily driven from the simple structure the objects are in. I'll keep your comment in mind if I need to make a more advanced input system in the future.
