Now with violence!


Shooting! Killing! DEATH

Yeah, I know what has taken me this time could be done in minutes with Unity or Game Maker. I'm learning to program here. I have some extra time this week so I have being working on this a lot. Handling the entities is really the heart of a game engine. Coding this has been a pain and is far from done or clean. This tutorial from Game From Scratch was a very helpful start.

My code right now is very bad. In a lot of ways I know it's bad, and probably a whole lot more I don't. I'd like to think I'm stumbling through this pretty well.

Everybody loves gifs!

There's not different to show but I threw this gif together to show what I have done.

Yeah, not much yet. Just walking and jumping. I have another view in the corner there that I may turn into a minimap. I have been working hard at rewriting a lot of the code for better organization and implementation. I've taken out the zooming 2.5d effect for now. I have been reworking a lot of that code and will put it back after I've coded more into gameplay.

I always hear to learn a language before trying to make a game in it. I am convinced making a game is the only way I do learn.
