Repost. I have gone through the learning processing of reading tutorials on algorithms and it can be hard + time consuming. I've done it before where I create some helpful guides but I want to make it into a once a week kinda thing. Once a week I will produce a guide on a topic from most voted to least. The guide is up to what you guys want. Written, video, source code, demo... What do you like to learn from? I know there is a lot of help out there but this is mainly for this community and it will be more interactive. Vote here for now http://strawpoll.me/6436242

tl;dr
Hey guys,
So over the new year at a friends I got the idea for a game, tl;dr
is java really a lot slower than C++? I don't want to go overboard on my first attempt, but the game I want to make is a space game with a focus on RPG elements and character interactions, probably top down shooteresque combat for battle segments. Assuming I implemented all of this and some form of basic AI, would their be a significant difference in performance if it was coded in Java vs C++?
How to dungeon minimap in gamemaker?
>>127363091
Neat idea. Stolen.
Is HeartBeast's book worth buying?
If I were to be making something with the complexity of DF, I would prioritize performance and safety. Rust is the only option that really emphasizes both while still having a strong focus towards multimedia applications. C++, too, if you're disciplined enough to stick to the modern "core guidelines".
The problem with C# and Java in this case is that they forgo a lot of performance with their particular brand of safety that doesn't add much "noise" to the code, and Go is in some niche between C and C#/Java that nobody really asked for.
>>127363091
No, Java will be fine. I'd suggest going with C#, though, it's practically a straight upgrade while still being just as easy to use, and similar enough that it's not hard to learn given Java knowledge.
>>127363091
main thing to realize is that speed of execution is not necessarily more important than speed of development, and usually isn't
with that in mind I wouldn't recommend either of those
>>127363091
You are going overboard on your first attempt. Pick a language and a library YOU are comfortable with and just do it.

>>127363091
Nope.
Only real reason to use C/C++ is if your game has a ridiculous amount of pathfinding/3D physics interactions/fluid simulations/etc.
If you're truly worried you can literally write a simple benchmark in 30 mins that spawns X objects interacting in whichever will be most intensive for your game and see if it runs at 60fps.

>>127363735
It's based on the database notion of "column", not the typical row-major storage that you see with arrays. In terms of memory, it would be a structure-of-arrays approach, though the arrays in question might not simply be arrays.
http://bitsquid.blogspot.ca/2011/09/managing-decoupling-part-4-id-lookup.html
>>127364080
Seems doable.
Just be prepared that you will probably rewrite the whole thing from scratch 1-2 times, and that's okay.
After you get familiar with your tools you realize there are much better ways to do stuff.
Alternatively make a few pong level games to get familiar with the tools.
>>127363735
>>127365282
Some databases are stored such that columns are contiguous, by the way. You'd call such databases "column-oriented".

>>127364221
thanks for the advice guys. i will check in once I have something worthwhile
Guys, please explain how do I do movement that's not stuttery as all fuck and still as precise as floating points allow.
Doing a 2D game with sprites, testing as a WebGL game but it's all the same everywhere, really.
I have a velocity that I apply to a sprite position, like this:
> position.x += velocity.vx * (dt / 1000);
> position.y += velocity.vy * (dt / 1000);
This causes a ridiculously noticeable stuttering effect. And if I do it like this:
> position.x += Math.round(velocity.vx * (dt / 1000));
> position.y += Math.round(velocity.vy * (dt / 1000));
It's butter smooth, but obviously movement at a low speed does not work at all and anything more complex than moving along X or Y is just not precise enough (even diagonal movement is quite blatantly missing its target - again, not at all surprising given the aggressive int conversion every frame).
Things I've already checked and made sure that it's no different no matter which I use:
* Fixed frame rate & dynamic frame rate (fixed dt, dynamic dt)
* Binding rendering sprites to int coordinates & keeping and rendering as floats
* Removing all of the extra transformation matrix crap
* Making sure it's not FPS lagging
I feel like I'm missing the obvious, but either way, all I want is smooth and precise sprite movement, what the hell am I doing wrong?

Does the Unreal Engine come with a lot of assets, textures etc.? I would like to make a map and run around. Maybe something like an island with a forest. I remember than from Far Cry 1.
How long will this take in UE?
In Unity you barely have anything to use and it takes a lot of time to find assets.

>>127366689
have you thought about lowering the framerate on some object's movement to match their speed
so like if you wanted an object that moves 1.5 pixels/frame instead of calculating its movement per frame and getting
>1 2 1 2 1 2
calculate it every other frame and get
>0 3 0 3 0 3 0 3

Show the stuttering in a webm. The first speed formula is perfectly fine for smooth movement, so your problem is somewhere else.

>implemented a simple pause menu that lets you continue or quit
Is this progress?
>>127369241
does it pause the game?
>>127367238
But there's no value in making any of those.
Surely there are very short game ideas that aren't those?
>>127369334
It already paused the game. I added a menu that lets you unpause if you press the confirm button on the "Continue" option, or exits the game if you press the confirm button on the "Quit" option.
Before that, there was no in-game way to quit so you had to click the x in the corner, and you just pressed start again to resume.
>>127369454
The main problem content, you can arguably make a simple platformer/action game system in a day, but then it would take you more than that to create all the levels, enemies, AI, etc.
But you can try speeddevving if you're feeling adventurous.

Looks perfectly fine on my pc, except for the background which just has texture sampling issues as you would expect when using float values to show a discrete unfiltered image. If your backgrounds are going to be like that you can just animate the UVs.

>>127373074
I recognize that HUD.
I was wondering where you went
>>127372475
Enemy movement feels pretty jittery as well, just not as noticeable because of the background. Everything that's sufficiently slow looks absolutely terrible. I tried turning the BG off, still noticeable.
Ideally I don't want texture sampling to be an issue, I render in int coordinates anyway, although I've tried floats only to get the same result. In these particular samples the background is also rendered in int coordinates - I convert position from float to int during rendering.
>>127373391
I'm still getting used to C#; there's probably a lot of redundancies like that.
>>127373485
Got a seasonal job. Made a decent amount of progress since that ended, and the alpha should be out fairly soon.
>>127373247

>>127373684
Yeah, that whole destructor is superfluous, and actually harmful since you've allowed references of the dictionaries to be obtained externally, and it's very easy to have those references outlive the component manager itself, resulting in a clear happening whenever the GC feels as though it's time to clean up whichever batch of unreachable objects the manager finds itself in.

Depends on which packages you import. By default, not really, but the Infinity Blade assets recently got released.
You won't be able to make a Far Cry-esque map just with the defaults with UE4 though.
Hey, for anybody using Fusion to make their game... do you stick to the graphical event editor, or have you tried some scripting with Lua?

If it's text based as in a story adventure, you don't even need an engine for that.
>>127375631

>>127375996
I don't know, but the general idea of having components in arrays with masks will remain the same. I'll just spend more time on how it can be optimized and applied.
>>127375029
What are you trying to do with the owner actor?
>>127376180
I was making mine in WPF from Visual Studio but some autist told me to use Unity
>>127376356
You can use any language and just read from and print to the console.
>>127376356
Don't use Unity for a text based game. Unity has nothing to offer for that game type.
Something like that you need to do mostly yourself anyway so an engine would just get in the way.
>>127376216
Depends on what the owner actor actually is. I don't know what it is. That's why I ask.
>>127376842
If you spawn an actor called "actorProjectile" from within an actor called "actorParent" I think the owner is set automatically to "actorParent". Honestly i'd have no idea what it'll do if you spawn it from the level BP. I'd assume the level will be the parent.
>>127373247

>>127363091
>is java really a lot slower than C++
It isn't and in the right hands Java can perform nearly as well as C++, but Java requires 400mb+ ram (tweakable) for stuff that is not related to your game (the virtual machine and jit compiler).
I only use C++ because I don't have enough ram for javadev (i refuse to use text editors in this case)
>>127363091
c++ is much sexier than java
so there's that
>>127376194
Awesome. That's similar to how I have been designing mine (contiguous arrays, and the entity is just a collection of components who have a similar ID(but not necessarily at the same index)). I look forward to your "reboot" article!
>>127377154
>It isn't
Are you literally retarded?
>and in the right hands Java can perform nearly as well as C++,
Maybe nearly as well as bad C++ code.

>>127377154
If you're talking about engine dev, then Java is going to be significantly worse than C++. The biggest bottleneck in game programming, other than sheer graphics fidelity (which has nothing to do with your language, and frankly is not something that is common to run into as an indie dev), is how you handle memory. Java gives you no facilities to control how memory is allocated, copied, etc. while that is something you have to do in C++. Plus, there's the general overhead that running Java code in the JVM has compared to running native code, and things like GC pauses.
For a simple game/engine, it doesn't matter, but that doesn't mean you can say Java is just as fast as C++.
>>127377868
Language performance doesn't matter if all you're doing is gameplay logic on top of an existing engine. And guess what that engine is coded in?
>>127378013
The funny thing about this is the blueprint just looks like spaghetti. The engine itself actually interprets it as C++ code much more optimized than what the majority of agdg devs could produce.
>>127378202
>GC pauses
We can work around that using certain techniques (level of difficulty varies) and a different GC implementation if needed.
>the general overhead that running Java code in the JVM
Hot sections get optimized and compiled to machine code, the rest doesn't matter as much most of the time.
In both cases you can also use the C/C++ API if you run into something Java has a hard time solving.

The interpretation through blueprints is like 10 times slower than pure c++. Blueprints might be useful for artfags who can't code and want to make a smaller project where it doesn't matter, but it is a nightmare for bigger projects. And if you go for smaller projects, unity might be a better choice to begin with. The only section where node based stuff can be absolute bomb, is in the material/shader section.
So I have a minor annoyance in my game in that if you press the attack button while the sword animation is playing, nothing will happen, meaning that button mashing isn't the optimal way of attacking quickly. So the optimal way to attack quickly is to time your button presses for when the animation finishes.
Should I code it so that the player automatically attacks again if he presses the attack button during the animation, or should I keep it as it is in order to encourage players to get good?
>>127379006
I had it so that if they pressed attack during the animation it would attack again. I considered this a bug and fixed it by making it so your game is now.
Players should git gud.
>>127379006
Keep it as it is.
Another alternative I've seen and liked is initiating a weak but mashable combo if the button is pressed too early. It's never as strong as doing it properly, and it also has some sort of drawback like a recovery time.
>>127363091
It already exists. It's called Hostile Space. (Assuming your combat actually takes place in ships in space).
>>127379006
leaving it how it is is easier and its basically up to taste. i prefer timing my shit; it feels more interactive than smashing the button and having it buffer the attack
Howdy howdy, /agdg/!
Sorry I haven't been around, the holidays are a real busy time for me at work so I decided to spend my free time unwinding and playing vidya rather than doing more work. However, I DID spend that time mapping out some spawn-station listsand actually have the framework down for a couple new enemies, though I won't start implementing that until after the first demo
Past few days, I've been doing some other level-design stuff (primarily placing Targets and some detail mesh stuff like pipes and the like) and some demo-readiness stuff (more movelist implementation stuff, including making the move lists automatically resize based on the current-armor-content display, enabling them to automatically switch based on the current weapon, etc), some bug fixes (camera jitter when attacking enemies behind you, Grunts exiting physics simulation incorrectly, some hit detection bugs, bugs with releasing a held key while the game is paused and getting stuck in a held state, etc)
And, since Mayhem League IS, and always will be, Feature Creep: The Game, I've done a small new movement feature, which is bullet hopping; when aiming down, firing the gun will provide a small vertical bump, allowing you to drift over gaps or hover while doing damage.Can you tell I've been playing Downwell? God I'm such an ass. kek
Is GM Studio Professional worth $50?
>>127379006
Study Five Finger Death Punch. Attacks should be queueable, but the cooldown on the anim should leave them vulnerable to attack, meaning that mashing will yield a string of attacks that basically get you murdered.
That or go the PG route and develop an actual combo system that rewards timing with moveset extensions.

Can you please reply to the Googs when you diss him? I have him filtered and I don't want to be reminded he exists.

So why isn't YOUR game at AGDQ, aggy daggy?
>>127380686
My game doesnt exist
>>127380686
I didn't get it done quick enough.
Greetings from Germany
Shut the fuck up, Reek.
>>127380502
fair enough
i've gotta charge ten dollars though that's pretty hard to keep up anon and in this economy you've gotta keep up and i'm not going to enter a race to the bottom like the ios store
>>127379783
is this game still alive?!
>>127380502
he wasnt able to do that because i never posted.
>>127381351
Oh yeah. I disappeared for a while, because my updates weren't really worth talking about from a dev perspective, and I went over to /cgg/ for a while to talk about the tweaks to hit detection and shit. Then I took a week or two off to play Talos Principle and decompress from the holidays at work (which are nightmarish).
But I've FAR from abandoned it, I promise. Still truckin'.
>>127381551
fuck you

my ctrl+c ctrl+v hand wrist is all fucked up from RSI
can't... ctrl+c ctrl+v... anymore...
time to bind that shit to mouse buttons on my fancy new g602
//So is this...
if (something)
{
if (something else)
{
do this;
}
}

}
}
//...the same as this?
if (something)
{
if (something else)
{
do this;
}
}
if (something 2)
{
if (something else 2)
{
do that;
}
}
//Why are there so many terms that feel redundant? Why can't I just do something like this...
if (something)
and (something else)
{
do this;
}
if (something 2)
and (something else 2)
{
do that;
}
//Isn't the last way faster? Why do I need 'else's and extra brackets if they're going to accomplish the same thing?
//I'm using GML by the way (Gamemaker Language)
Do you guys think Animal Crossing speech (the thing where they say the names of the individual letters really fast and each villager uses a unique soundfont) would feel out of place in a non-cute RPG?
Any artists want to team up? Programmer here.
>>127382879
just make the sounds not cutesy

You can do that using the "or" operator
if(something || something else) {
do this;
}
if(something2 || something else 2) {
do that;
}
Also in the first example with the "else", if "do this" executes, no matter if something 2 and something else 2 is true, "do that" will not execute because of the else.
Do this and Do that are mutually exclusive in the example above and they aren't in the second one.

how do i fix this
>>127382879
I do.
>>127382612
Write out the boolen expression and reduce it like a normal stupid person
>>127382612
No. "Else if" means that it only pays attention to the bit after that, if the first is not true.
"If A = B, shit yourself. Else if it is Thursday, go to the bathroom."
In this case, if A = B, the person would shit themselves but even if it is Thursday, would not go to the bathroom unless A != B.
"If A = B, shit yourself. If it is Thursday, go to the bathroom."
In this case, if A = B and it's Thursday, dude's gonna shit himself and then go stand in the bathroom.
The Else matters.
>>127382879
No. If you could lower their tone/pitch though it would sound more mature probably. It could get distracting though, can you post an example of what yours would sound like?

How much money did you make out of your mobile game?
>>127382612
use pastebin next time faggot
they're not the same, in the second example both are checked regardless of anything, in the first example something2 is only checked if the something1 check fails.
and in the first example you should use brackets for everything that "else" goes to.
>>127383014
Ah, ok got it. Thanks.

welcome my friend
which game do you run

This is /AGDG/ not /AGDQ/. We make games slowly instead of playing them quickly.

i have no idea how to market. but honestly it wasn't a very good game, i made it in like a month.

Now that you're not a wagie, just eat subway.
>>127383675
still you're a yesdev, you're 1000% better than most of /agdg/
>>127383512
how do people even do this? do you not look at the thread you're posting in? i've never cross posted at /agdq/
>>127371886
Oh, it's a general code group, collabs included?
If you'd like to run a collab, you can use caer-one or add a new repo.

I love Gamemaker. It's such a great engine.

guys, how to tell a programmer (coder) that he is deprecated without being too rude??? we're a team of 2 artists, 1 ideaguy/writer and 1 musicbro and since we downloaded Unreal Engine4 we don't need our programmer anymore since both me and the musicguy can use blueprints
If I wanted to make a game where main character was a robot, and you could switch out arms, legs, and maybe head. just those should I be modeling a skeleton and then just parenting different models to it? or no underlying skeleton. How would a build a custom robot and battle them game be done in a smart way?
>>127384513
because I'm really busytrying to think of an /agdg/ themed shitpost for /srg/
>>127383802
dude that stuff gets expensive
>>127384828
Don't worry. A lot of the logic he learned in coding will still be useful for blueprints. You can still get him to do some of the more complicated blueprint stuff. Just NEVER EVER let him program and make your game into some outdated junk. He should use blueprints for EVERYTHING.

it's released but it isn't really ~released~ until people know it exists, waiting on press/lepers ive contacted to do something.
