I'd say you learn most of these things in your sparetime an personal projects/investigation. At work you mostly have these kind of things in place already and your "daily" work within your region of responsibility which often doesnt allow you to play around much. So from my experience much knowledge comes self-taught - specifically things that need to be done rarely (like setting up whole new projects). But doesn't need to apply to Yan of course. (btw.

@Jerry Waters CMake is not that complicated, it's more advanced and it takes time to get used to it. CMake is logic based (if this then that), in Premake you are just defining what your project looks like (these are my include directories, this is project name ... and so on)

I'd like to mention how CMake makes git submodules easier. With Premake you'll need to fork a repo and add your premake file then reference that repo, like Cherno did. Your forked repo could get stale real quick. With CMake you can maintain your submodules directly with the 3rd party repos within your project.
A CMake project is a Visual Studio Solutions and CMake targets are Visual Studio Projects. It's not that complicated. It also makes more sense, because a „solution“ is really a „project“.
As others have commented below you will have to get the newer version of premake if you're using vs2019 change the batfile to be vs2019 not vs2017. As a sidenote the startfile also changes back to Hazel which causes an error to fix this and make it automatic in the lua premake file write workspace "Hazel" architecture "x64" startproject "Sandbox"

CMake can be overwhelmingly verbose but I would still recommend learning it since you will run into CMakeLists more often than other build scripts and is used in the vast majority of open source projects.
I'm in university right now for computer science, and I have to say, there is so much that they don't cover in school, or at least haven't yet covered. A lot of what this guy is teaching is brand new to me. I'm glad I found this series.
@@nailbomb420 Probably, learning computer science doesn't teach you ever single thing, especially when you consider how wide of a topic it really is. However when I was at University and college prior to it both for games programming, in those 5 years I never once was taught how to actually use source control. Sometimes the things they don't teach are the most vital. I don't think I'd know how to use source control, link libraries or any of the more advanced stuff you'd be expected to use above junior grade if not for these sorts of tutorials. Got to hand it to the software engineers who actually take the time to explain things.
Nice, interesting video. Lots of useful information about premake and how to use it. I also thought it's good how much detail you put into showing the directory structure which is very important in any medium to large sized projects, but many tutorials will overlook the fact that it's very important to have a good build system and well organized and easily maintained file systems. Keep it up bro!
I'm back over half a year later so I rewatched the previous episodes. I understand the project better and I was finally able to pass this segment! I had previously switched relpath to abspath (it was suggested in the discord), but it didn't fix my build issue. I now switched it back to relpath, and my code can run, and the .dll file is copied. So I really did nothing different, but the code works. I do however have a better grasp of how our project is assembled, so that's good! Edit: Patreon incoming
omg wow, ok so this video actually solved the issue ive been having the entire time ive been watching the videos and been unable to solve why i couldnt get the project or solution files.... this is amazing!!
I'm sure this is done in future videos but if you hate having to tell Visual Studio which is the startup project after you regenerate them using premake you can add the following just after workspace like the following: workspace "Hazel" architecture "x64" startproject "Sandbox" Easy as that... no more clicking on Sandbox and setting it manually.
For anyone who has problems with the postbuild commands (for example error code 2), try using the following instead: postbuildcommands { "copy /B /Y ..\\bin\\" .. outputdir .. "\\Hazel\\Hazel.dll ..\\bin\\" .. outputdir .. "\\Sandbox\\ > nul" } There seems to be an unknown issue with the premake token COPY, that it cannot differantiate between targetfiles and -directories. This should fix it. Be aware that this is only applicable for the windows configuration.
What a G... Thanks!!! I was struggling with this for the past hour. It kept saying I have problems with the functions in the log class and it turns out it was because of the missing dll. Then when I looked closer it said that the copy command was unsuccessful or smth so thanks for this it totally fixed everything:)))
Finally reached episode 7 in this series after struggling for a long time. Really love the informative series you've made but it is very difficult for Linux users who are just starting out with C++ ^^" But with this comes my question: Why do you actually use an IDE? I've been using vs code and although it was figuring out how to use it in the beginning, with a simple 'make' system and a proper makefile, it is actually quite simple.
Visual Studio IDE (VS) is just Visual Studio Code (VSC) with a bunch of packages installed already. I personally don’t like messing with all of the packages and I love the debugging capabilities of VS. really comes down to preference.
@@aaronvancuren7946 They're quite different pieces of software. In the long term, Microsoft will probably be looking to sunset VS, but for now we gamedevs are stuck with it.
He's using Visual Studio, because he works in AAA gamedev and he's used to it. The workflow is usually so tied to Visual Studio, that most studios even have it in the job requirements. I mean... nobody will stop you from using, say, Emacs, but you'll very often get stuck, and you'll be on your own when you do. Why do big game studios use Visual Studio? Videogame codebases are tremendously large. The "solution explorer hangs if you try to open the project" kind of large. The "intellisense would flat out refuse to index it" kind of large. In addition, they're usually written in a rush. And, C++ is an extremely tough language to parse to begin with. Long story short, you *NEED* custom tools for navigation, compilation, refactoring, autocomplete, documentation, debugging, testing, formatting, version control, large files, custom languages, etc. These tools are usually written over the last 20+ years specifically for Visual Studio. So, for the foreseeable future, AAA game studios have programmed themselves into a corner and are therefore stuck with the godawful trio of Windows, C++, and Visual Studio.
my defines are not added when I build the project files using premake... I followed everything just as cherno did, but when I generate the project files and try to build the project then, I get an error: Hazel only supports Windows. Why could this be happening? I've to manually add the preprocessor defines myself later 😞
Did anybody ever realize that we have never seen him typing on the keyboard? :-D Aside from that, I really like this video. I literally see how your level of skill increasis rapibly over time. Keep it up.
Sorry, but i have same error as you in 29:13 and it won't disapear when i hit f5... Actually my project is so broken now, that i can't do anything... Any help?
@@kevingarnett6739 If you're referring to the C1083 error, I just included "$(SolutionDir)Hazel/vendor/spdlog/include" in the Sandbox includedirs as well and that fixed it for me. includedirs { "$(SolutionDir)Hazel/vendor/spdlog/include", "$(SolutionDir)Hazel/src" }
Are we going to use glfw3 or sdl2? I seem to have some trouble setting up glfw3 with premake and was wondering what the plan was and when I can expect a video for window creation? Thanks!
Lua! Nice! Edit: Thanks to the guys with the v2019 headsup!! 'No brainer' change that could have taken a long time to debug. the good thing is that by working through these issues we get a good handle on how it all works.
In between the minutes 22:00 and 24:00 he explains how to use "nested" filtering, which can only be created by using the different "if (statement && statement && etc)" syntax. But how would I build a dynamic library that supports 32-bit & 64-bit platforms, that has a Debug and Release configuration and can build to multiple different x amount of systems (for now I have Windows, Linux and Mac). This means I will have 2 * 2 * 3 = 12 filters, which might not even differ that much from each other. Is there really no more efficient or clean way to handle this sort of problem?
Just a clarification. 1) If I add new files, I need to regenerate the solution, correct? 2) If I want to add new files, I need to add it from the system file manager, and not from visual studio (vs folders are just "filters", and not system-level folders when in solution explorer view) Have I got this correct?
Brain Devloper Dimensional Unity is great for 2D games. "they take more space" is not really an argument as the size of the engine files has nothing to do with if the engine supports only 2D or 3D or whatever. I also dont see what "more functionality" pure 2D engines can offer over unity.
@@TheFlynCow I'm looking for an engine that allows for direct calls to the Rendering Queue that allows for pixel manipulation of one overlaid texture / Color [] as a shadowRenderer. Unity does not allow this which makes real time Isometric 2D shadows impossible... I do however have all of the code built tested and working but uses texture creation within unity which is very inefficient.
I was having the same issue with builds failing on the COPY step when using vs2019. If you go to the properties on the dll project, navigate to Build Events -> Post Build -> Command Line, it shows the copy command that premake generates. For me, I named my engine "Cool Engine", but premake was only spitting out "Cool", so the command was pointing to a file that doesn't exist. I don't know if the parser has trouble with spaces or what, but that the issue. Either the COPY command has to change so it generates a valid path or it can be removed so you manually enter the correct command.
Hi Cherno! After generating solution with Premake, folders that existed inside the Solution (like "Headers Files", "Resource Files") disappeared. They disapper after each generating. Why?
I am trying to configure vulkan with premake and the only thing am getting is that my vulkan-1.lib is not made i.e my vulkan include files did not compile in vs19 . Any help would be great.
Odd issues I've run into and am trying to debug: ~ The premake build works but it breaks a few things. After running the batch file to premake build, when opening the solution in VS, the linker settings for Sandbox project get reset and no longer finds Hazel.h. I have to manually reset the Additional Include Directories every time the project builds. ~ After fixing this, when attempting to F5, VS has an issue with a weird Post-Build Event, "The command "IF EXIST ..\bin\\Debug-windows-x86_64..." (a lot more shit) ".. exited with code 4". No idea what this is. ~ A new error, LNK1104: cannot open file 'Hazel.lib' from bin\debug\hazel directory. No idea what this is or how to fix it.
Had the same problem, I found out that I dind't game the same name for my sandbox and forgot about it in the copy command, had to then rebuild with the bat file and it worked.
getting an error in command I cant solve unexpected symbol near '' but that doesnt appear anywhere in the code like this error normally shows. thoughts?
This is 5 years old, but '' is referring to the ascii character 255, not the literal character '', which is a weird whitespace character, you can write it with ALT + 2 5 5 using the numpad, you wont see anything, but it is this character ( ).
Anyone run into issues where they have to manually "Right Click->Include In Project" .h and .cpp files? My Premake file doesn't seem to be including script files correctly - looked around the ol' interwebs and couldn't find anything. Any suggestions?
Resolved my own question - not sure if it is a Premake5 alpha 14 thing, but the token "%{prj.name}. . . " was not working for me within the files { ... } list. Had to hard code the project name values.
Further more, if you make a variable outside the scope of files (similar to outputdir Cherno mentioned in the video), the token link "%{prj.name}/src/**.cpp" works. -- Putting this here in case anyone runs into the same issue :)
@@andrewromans7566 I am having a lot of troubles with this thing, I don't get your solution, could you please expand on what it means to "create a variable outside the scope of files"?
This is not working for me, all the target folders get created but DLL file is not created even when build of Hazel project shows no error. Can somebody help?
whats the correct way to do this? i did it exactly to his video up there and my projects that were created were empty as fuck. thankfully i had it backed up on gitlab. so whats the correct way to do the lua file?
If you're making this cross platform, are you using opengl then since D3D isn't supported? Or are you planning to write some sort of platform detection and adjust the engine accordingly?
Hmm. I am getting a runtime error about the Hazel.dll not begin "valid": "Unable to start program: 'D:\dev\vsprojects\Hazel\Hazel\..\bin\Debug_windows_x86_64\Hazel\Hazel.dll'.

I have checked the Hazel.sln file and the post-build commands as well as the build paths seem to be correct, what's going on here? I have tried closing VS, running the bat file and reopening, but I still get that error.
I am getting the MSB3073 error as well but it seems to be because the hazel.dll is not being created and I cannot seem to figure why this is happening. Any help is appreciated
While i am running on cmd, Access is getting denied i.e. I cant run this software on my pc. So what should i do coz i have tried multiple things but nothing is working at all.
Thanks for the videos. I a little question what can I do if I want to have the .dll file in a sub folder where the current .exe file is located? Folder { Hazel.dll Sandbox.exe ... } Instead I want to have it like this: Folder { dlls { Hazel.dll ... } Sandbox.exe ... } How can you set this up in VS that he loads the dll from the sub folder dlls?
For those who has faced the error MSB8020 with the latest version of premake5 and using vs2019 , please change your command below: Instead of : postbuildcommands{ "{COPY} %{cfg.buildtarget.relpath} ../bin/" .. outputdir .. "/Sandbox"} changing to : postbuildcommands{("{COPY} %{cfg.buildtarget.relpath} \"../bin/" .. outputdir .. "Sandbox/\"")}
if anybody is having problems from postbuildcommands like me stick this in COPY "$(TargetDir)\Hazel.dll" "$(SolutionDir)bin\Debug-windows-x86_64\Sandbox" if your wondering what /" this is, its a way to put double quotes in strings so you end up putting em in the post-build events in properties
I m not an expert, but I think the header files need to be included for the compiler - thats the included dirs part The linker needs to know where the actual dll is - thats the links part
If you want to ship a patch for your engine with dynamic linking it's just a new dll whereas for static linking you would need to ship a new big exe file. But I guess thats just one of the reasons... If you google static vs dynamic linking you can get a pretty good picture on what the reasons might be
I've made it this far... I almost didn't make it past this videos. I was "bold" enough to name certain things differently; that didn't help. If you are reading this... u made it this far. I'll see u on the next video comment section.
First I had to change the postbuild commands to ("{COPY} %{cfg.buildtarget.relpath} \"../bin/" .. outputdir .. "/Sandbox/\"") and then you have to manually set Sandbox as the startup project again.

@@niklaswessman8530 Thank you! This is exactly what happened to me and I couldn't figure out why my sandbox project was trying to generate a library when I specified ConsoleApp in the project definitions.
What do you mean by "solution?" Is this some visual studio concept I'm too Linux-ey to understand? But seriously, what is a solution? Is your solution simply a simultaneous build of your Sandbox game example and the Hazel engine?
Ok Lets see - I keep getting this error MSB3073 , everything else works fine , I'm using VS2022 and Premake5 Beta-1, I really want to Continue this series , Can anyone Help me out. I tried to fix it but now I lost the entire project I don't know how ,so i can't post the entire error message here . All help appreciated !!😄😄
i just want to say maybe you dont need to add the "postbuildcommand" part in the Sandbox part of the premake file, it just should be set on Hazel part. I'm so stupid!!!
I might just be dumb and am very new to C++ but I was running into a Win32 error and I think I was trying to run the DLL file directly or something but either way, if anyone else runs into this all I ended up having to do to fix it was right clicking sandbox and click Set as Startup Project
I have to say that your speedrun of premake does more harm than good. I forgot to save my project and premake messed up my .proj files so now I'm stuck trying to undo everything. If I outright copied you, I might have an easier time, but then I wouldn't learn anything. Now I'm learning quite a bit. About errors.
For anyone who has a runtime error about failing an assertion in some random external directory, a good temporary fix for that is switching staticruntime on both hazel and sandbox off if anyone knows a more permanent solution lmk
Hey The Cherno, would you be making a video on building a Hazel project for something like Android or IOS anytime soon? That sorta video would be really interesting. Thank you. BTW, really love your Hazel engine videos.
I think this should be in the C++ series too. I, for instance, am not interested in game developing. Just C++ itself. If this was in that other playlist I would have found it before. Anyway, great video. It would be nice to have more videos about tools that are useful for professional development
Why I got error when I used format output. Here is my code: int a = 999; Hazel::Log::GetCoreLogger()->info("hello, Var={0}", a); //same as macro The error is: ...........\hazel\vendor\spdlog\include\spdlog\details\logger_impl.h(71): fatal error C1001
Nevermind... I somehow had to set Sandbox to the startup project and that seems to have solved the problem.... even though it's already set as the startup project in premake(???). Either way. great videos, thanks!
Has anyone used vs2022 with premake 5.0-beta1? My Hazel.dll is not generating. "Edit": I had an issue with my premake file, but I tested vs2022 and 5.0-beta1 with this project and it works!
Im have a lot of headaches with deleting the bin folder like he does at 26:10. For some reason its protected under some insane admin permissions, eventhough ive literally never ever had any issues with this before and I'm the only person who uses my machine. Claiming ownership of the folder doesnt work, instead im having to use the command prompt to force change the ownership of the folder AND RESTART MY MACHINE... Oh yeah, when the folders are regenerated on compile, the same permission nonsense pops up again. I only have a "Local user" setup on my machine, does anyone happen to know if I can change the default permissions on VS generated folders?
Of course you can integrate all you need directly into the game itself without needing to build an engine but that would get messy and complicated pretty quickly. If you just want to produce a game you don't want to build your own engine at all because that's unnecessary work. Just download a good existing engine like Unreal or Unity and that would do the job for you too.
Hey all, Great tutorial loving it so far! I've run into a bit of an issue. The program refuses to run giving me the following error warning C4251: 'Hazel::Log::s_CoreLogger': class 'std::shared_ptr' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'Hazel::Log' I did a quick git checkout took the latest commit (previous tutorial which works fine) added the premake.lua from theCherno repo(and made necessary adjustments mainly to system version) and run the program only to get the same error. I then deleted the sandbox reference and re-added it and did the same to the Hazel solution for some reason the reference icon is not appearing on Sandbox and the Hazel reference when attempting to add gives an error stating "A reference to "Sandbox" could not be added. Adding this project as a reference would cause a circular dependency". However, the strange part is the code now builds successfully. That being said when I put a breakpoints on Entrypoint.h and run to see the logs I get the following errors on a prompt screen.

But with this comes my question: Why do you actually use an IDE? I've been using vs code and although it was figuring out how to use it in the beginning, with a simple 'make' system and a proper makefile, it is actually quite simple.
Visual Studio IDE (VS) is just Visual Studio Code (VSC) with a bunch of packages installed already. I personally don’t like messing with all of the packages and I love the debugging capabilities of VS. really comes down to preference.
@@aaronvancuren7946 They're quite different pieces of software. In the long term, Microsoft will probably be looking to sunset VS, but for now we gamedevs are stuck with it.
He's using Visual Studio, because he works in AAA gamedev and he's used to it. The workflow is usually so tied to Visual Studio, that most studios even have it in the job requirements. I mean... nobody will stop you from using, say, Emacs, but you'll very often get stuck, and you'll be on your own when you do. Why do big game studios use Visual Studio? Videogame codebases are tremendously large. The "solution explorer hangs if you try to open the project" kind of large. The "intellisense would flat out refuse to index it" kind of large. In addition, they're usually written in a rush. And, C++ is an extremely tough language to parse to begin with. Long story short, you *NEED* custom tools for navigation, compilation, refactoring, autocomplete, documentation, debugging, testing, formatting, version control, large files, custom languages, etc. These tools are usually written over the last 20+ years specifically for Visual Studio.
So, for the foreseeable future, AAA game studios have programmed themselves into a corner and are therefore stuck with the godawful trio of Windows, C++, and Visual Studio.
my defines are not added when I build the project files using premake... I followed everything just as cherno did, but when I generate the project files and try to build the project then, I get an error: Hazel only supports Windows. Why could this be happening? I've to manually add the preprocessor defines myself later 😞
If you are using newer versions of premake the {COPY} comand does not work anymore, use {COPYFILE} instead

'No brainer' change that could have taken a long time to debug.
the good thing is that by working through these issues we get a good handle on how it all works.
In between the minutes 22:00 and 24:00 he explains how to use "nested" filtering, which can only be created by using the different "if (statement && statement && etc)" syntax. But how would I build a dynamic library that supports 32-bit & 64-bit platforms, that has a Debug and Release configuration and can build to multiple different x amount of systems (for now I have Windows, Linux and Mac). This means I will have 2 * 2 * 3 = 12 filters, which might not even differ that much from each other. Is there really no more efficient or clean way to handle this sort of problem?
Just a clarification.
1) If I add new files, I need to regenerate the solution, correct?
2) If I want to add new files, I need to add it from the system file manager, and not from visual studio (vs folders are just "filters", and not system-level folders when in solution explorer view)
Have I got this correct?
I love you! Thanks :D
Jeez CMake is such a bother to use, didn't even know premake existed, but I think I will use it now for all eternity!
I want to make my own engine as well. Right now, I'm using unity for a 2D game I wanna finish. Good luck to everyone that's learning how to code.
I agree since all of my assets are raw 2d images. Now if I were had raw 3D images to make a 2D game. I think that would be totally fine with unity.
What do you recommend I try? I was going for SFML or SDL at first.
Brain Devloper Dimensional
Unity is great for 2D games. "they take more space" is not really an argument as the size of the engine files has nothing to do with if the engine supports only 2D or 3D or whatever.
I also dont see what "more functionality" pure 2D engines can offer over unity.
@@TheFlynCow I'm looking for an engine that allows for direct calls to the Rendering Queue that allows for pixel manipulation of one overlaid texture / Color [] as a shadowRenderer. Unity does not allow this which makes real time Isometric 2D shadows impossible... I do however have all of the code built tested and working but uses texture creation within unity which is very inefficient.
I was having the same issue with builds failing on the COPY step when using vs2019.
If you go to the properties on the dll project, navigate to Build Events -> Post Build -> Command Line, it shows the copy command that premake generates. For me, I named my engine "Cool Engine", but premake was only spitting out "Cool", so the command was pointing to a file that doesn't exist. I don't know if the parser has trouble with spaces or what, but that the issue.
Either the COPY command has to change so it generates a valid path or it can be removed so you manually enter the correct command.
Hi Cherno! After generating solution with Premake, folders that existed inside the Solution (like "Headers Files", "Resource Files") disappeared. They disapper after each generating. Why?
I am trying to configure vulkan with premake and the only thing am getting is that my vulkan-1.lib is not made i.e my vulkan include files did not compile in vs19 . Any help would be great.
Is there a command to copy a folder in premake ? I tried {COPYDIR}, os.execute, {COPY}, but none of them works for me on windows..
Odd issues I've run into and am trying to debug:
~ The premake build works but it breaks a few things. After running the batch file to premake build, when opening the solution in VS, the linker settings for Sandbox project get reset and no longer finds Hazel.h. I have to manually reset the Additional Include Directories every time the project builds.
~ After fixing this, when attempting to F5, VS has an issue with a weird Post-Build Event, "The command "IF EXIST ..\bin\\Debug-windows-x86_64..." (a lot more shit) ".. exited with code 4". No idea what this is.
~ A new error, LNK1104: cannot open file 'Hazel.lib' from bin\debug\hazel directory. No idea what this is or how to fix it.
Had the same problem, I found out that I dind't game the same name for my sandbox and forgot about it in the copy command, had to then rebuild with the bat file and it worked.
getting an error in command I cant solve
unexpected symbol near ''
but that doesnt appear anywhere in the code like this error normally shows.
thoughts?
This is 5 years old, but '' is referring to the ascii character 255, not the literal character '', which is a weird whitespace character, you can write it with ALT + 2 5 5 using the numpad, you wont see anything, but it is this character ( ).
Anyone run into issues where they have to manually "Right Click->Include In Project" .h and .cpp files? My Premake file doesn't seem to be including script files correctly - looked around the ol' interwebs and couldn't find anything. Any suggestions?
Resolved my own question - not sure if it is a Premake5 alpha 14 thing, but the token "%{prj.name}. . . " was not working for me within the files { ... } list. Had to hard code the project name values.
Further more, if you make a variable outside the scope of files (similar to outputdir Cherno mentioned in the video), the token link "%{prj.name}/src/**.cpp" works. -- Putting this here in case anyone runs into the same issue :)

If you're making this cross platform, are you using opengl then since D3D isn't supported? Or are you planning to write some sort of platform detection and adjust the engine accordingly?
I've never seen him use DirectX, only OpenGL, in the past 5 years.

Thanks for the videos. I a little question what can I do if I want to have the .dll file in a sub folder where the current .exe file is located?

{
Hazel.dll
Sandbox.exe
...
}
Instead I want to have it like this:
Folder
{
dlls
{
Hazel.dll
...
}
Sandbox.exe
...
}
How can you set this up in VS that he loads the dll from the sub folder dlls?
For those who has faced the error MSB8020 with the latest version of premake5 and using vs2019 ,
please change your command below:
Instead of :
postbuildcommands{ "{COPY} %{cfg.buildtarget.relpath} ../bin/" .. outputdir .. "/Sandbox"}
changing to :
postbuildcommands{("{COPY} %{cfg.buildtarget.relpath} \"../bin/" .. outputdir .. "Sandbox/\"")}
thanks mannn
postBuildCommands is not working on my side.....Do you know what problem is???
if i generate the sulution with the generatesolution bat it unloads all cpp and h files in the Project..... how do i fix it ?
if anybody is having problems from postbuildcommands like me
stick this in
COPY "$(TargetDir)\Hazel.dll" "$(SolutionDir)bin\Debug-windows-x86_64\Sandbox"
if your wondering what /" this is, its a way to put double quotes in strings so you end up putting em in the post-build events in properties

Hey Yan! What's the song called and the end of your video? I love this song!
its called Salutations and its made by Lovren
why does the logger library need included into the sandbox project?
why isn't that bundled into the the .dll?
I m not an expert, but I think the header files need to be included for the compiler - thats the included dirs part
The linker needs to know where the actual dll is - thats the links part
Why did you dynamically link the Hazel project, when static linking is a lot faster?
If you want to ship a patch for your engine with dynamic linking it's just a new dll whereas for static linking you would need to ship a new big exe file.
But I guess thats just one of the reasons...
If you google static vs dynamic linking you can get a pretty good picture on what the reasons might be
@codewing Thank you very much.
I've made it this far... I almost didn't make it past this videos. I was "bold" enough to name certain things differently; that didn't help. If you are reading this... u made it this far. I'll see u on the next video comment section.

Can you make a 2d game without engine??
the animating dino yt can you make a motorcycle with no engine?
So you can't,
Is he going to make an engine with interface or like one lone code engine.
Of course you can integrate all you need directly into the game itself without needing to build an engine but that would get messy and complicated pretty quickly. If you just want to produce a game you don't want to build your own engine at all because that's unnecessary work. Just download a good existing engine like Unreal or Unity and that would do the job for you too.
