No, not really. Nowerdays big companies are just trying to make a lot of money with microtranactions, loot boxes an so many more. For me which played videogames since 1986, this feels just wrong. Don't get me wrong, i really love some newer games like Minecraft or Undertale. But most of all them are just developed to make you buy more and more (take Fifa for example) i and most other people do not want to get crushed out the last bit of money for only playing videogames. We just wanna have fun. Thats all. Not destroying a whole generation just for egoistic companies. If you don't get what i am trying to say, just play a week only old games, like 1964-2000 and nothing else. You quikly realise, how much moneyless fun this actually was. (I do not talk about arcades, they are the same shit)
@@schlizzer2018 There's wonderful gems which so many solo or small-team indie creators produce every year though; we just have to look a bit harder for them, that's all.

This is fantastic work! Learning C++ can be very frustrating but when you've got a cool project like this it's easy to focus. 4:36 looks awesome. I feel there is a game in something like this.
This is great! Almost wished you went more in-depth, but definitely made me want to try my hand at doing a game without Unity! Thanks for the motivation 👌
I made the same game, though I had alot of problems regarding making the astroids spawn in random coordinate... Yet at last it was great, even my siblings liked it :3
sfml also has vector classes but its great for all sorts of things... multiple camera systems and all its modules are explained on their website... i loved it to program some c++
damn, and a great way to learn a programming language too i mean, if you are actually wanting to learn it properly you might wanna use some libraries but otherwise yea
Recently did something very similar, made a neat ascii physics animation from c++ without ever using it. Big jump from knowing just Python and Java lol
Hold up a second, I thought the golden age of video games was in the 90s? Jk jk, I still love 80s video games, and if it weren't for SMB (which saved the video game industry), and other great games of that era (mostly from Japan, like Pac-Man & Space Invaders), we wouldn't _have_ the video games of the 90s, so I guess I see what you mean, the golden age _started_ in the 80s. Great video by the way. I wish I knew about the SFML library before xP I guess... I've always been *extremely* lazy when it comes to looking into things, but I guess that only makes me all the more grateful that you mentioned that library in your video lmao Also, sorry about ranting at the beginning, I thought I would banter about the 90s for the lols but I can see how it might've come off as annoying.
I'm trying to get into a game dev program for uni and there's an intake assignment that asks to do exactly that: make a small game using C++ with SFML and no game engine. If this was the hardest challenge you've done yet, I feel like this is gonna be fun-
Yea, it feels weird hearing the biggest struggle was physics and the display as I’ve never touched engines like unity and had to alway do all this usually
@@the8bittoaster103 The only hard part about physics that would typically be encountered are collisions (and SFML actually does have a bit of a rudimentary 2D engine, it makes loading sprites easy and give things like bounding boxes to make 2D collisions easy... as long as you don't need pixel level collisions where transparent pixels don't collide, or something like that). Collisions aren't really too difficult until you need to run them between many objects... then you may need to use an octree (or quadtree in 2D). The physics is learn once, apply everywhere, I like it. Game engines tend to be either 1) super limiting or 2) require a bunch of learning you will never apply anywhere except that engine (and that might be obsolete on their next major update as well). Special knowledge about the sequence of GUI boxes to check to some tile generation thing... really seems like memorizing some sort of ritual.
"This time since last frame was really easy to implement." Let's say this louder to Bethesda can hear it lol For those of you who don't know, some actions in Bethesda's game engine are linked to frame rate, so running the game at a frame rate higher than 60fps makes actions such as lock picking in Fall Out 4 run much, much faster to the point that they aren't playable. This actually cause major issues (as if there weren't enough already on release) with Fall Out 76. Players with higher end PCs were able to perform actions faster than those tied to 60 fps. I think it was as bad as them even being able to move faster. Being a multiplayer game, this was not a good thing to say the least. I think they fixed it eventually, but I still find it hilarious.
Not tying actions to frame rate is bad enough but a multiplayer game... yeah that’s not the best lmao. It frustrates me seeing as how easy of a fix it is.
I would have loved to do this, I was a little fed up toward the end of this project so I didn't polish it quite up right. I hope you enjoyed regardless :)
Hey comment section! How would you make the hit box of the asteroid be exactly the same shape as the sprite? My guess is that he made a circular hitbox around the center of each asteroid, but if you were to make the hit box perfect, how would you go about it?
1 - Perhaps Multi invisible hitbox facing and are the size of each edge of the asteroid... 2 - As there is no engine and also no pre-made hitbox, he was able to make personal hit box similar to asteroid...
He used rectangles probably, and for the collision it would be easiest and fastest to use ray-casting You shoot a horizontal and vertical ray to each corner of the bullet rectangle If the rays collide an even number of times with the asteroid before hitting the bullet the bullet is outside An odd number then the bullet is outside You would have to check between each side of the asteroid by noting down its vertices when calculating the collisions between ray and asteroid You could just be lazy and calculate collisions between the bullet rectangles and the sides of the asteroid, but this would not work in the case that the bullet is inside the asteroid, and this could very much happen with high delta time's (low framerates) as the past step in space for the bullet gets bigger, and may just surpass the boundaries of the asteroid without actually touching its edges
for larger games use fixed timestep+interpolation instead delta time, what if game freezed for a second, then delta time is multiplying everything by crazy number
Seeing as I had no experience when making this, and I didn’t make this public; I didn’t pay too much attention to making everything perfect. I’ll be sure to keep this in mind for future endeavours :)
I want to start developing a game myself and I would really love if you could somehow make the source code public in order for me and probably many others to learn how to.
It's just an entity with n numerical values, with n being the dimension of the vector. It's just like an array but it's treated differently from an array because of the different operations you can do with it like the dot product, cross product, etc. I wrote this comment for beginners who may not know what a vector is.
Since all of the objects are made out of lines, you could just use some line drawing function and an array of points to create custom shapes. When the ship or an asteroid is destroyed, you can then animate all parts individually.
Advertised as no experience, but didn't really show any lack of experience other than comments about things being hard. Not what I was expecting at all.
OpenGL is bloated. You should reverse engineer your GPU and write your own MMD wrapping library before even starting to write a game. And also it's only right to use C89 because C++ has too many features.
wait wait wait wait wait ... while this is SUPER impressive and like really, I mean that! You did great here and showed me stuff I need to learn as I'm just starting out with basics on C++ and i know a bit of VBA. It looks like you missed a couple things, does you ship blow up? can it occupy the same space as an asteroid? also looks like your bullets keep going after they hit an asteroid. Well done, like I said. Those things would kind of annoy me. Maybe that's something I need to learn, that close enough is good enough and if it works dont muck with it. is there a way to get this code so that when i'm ready i can play with it because i feel like you quickly solved some tiring physics issues.
