Video game programming on the fly (part 2)

[prasungera]

Please someone save my sould and give the names of the first and the last songs...Please...I'm from bulgaria so sry if there are mistakes

[meesternadim]

how long did it take to actually learn that much to be able to make this kind of games?

[aRiiiSAYRISiii]

Which linux distro is this?

[Xeratas]

Profi inc!

[ccashman5]

omg you have thee WORST taste in music EVER!!!

[concavator]

haha i picked a random song to replace the old. i had a much cooler song until youtube removed the music due to copywright

[ccashman5]

O.K, I forgive you, lol

[DolgorsurenDagvadorj]

Good job!

But your coding style isn't better than mine :P

[spiderman1321]

THNX SO MUCH FOR THIS! your website is brilliant

[dtran12345]

are you working on any big games right now? just curious

[ZacksEnder]

You can't be using windows... What is your OS?

[Jeffm312]

it looks like a distro of linux.. hence the Konqueror, as well as other "K***" programs.. Something using KDE.

[tiddlydum]

a linux

[yapic2]

People who thinks that video game are stupid, they should at least appreciate the people behind the extremely long hard-working years of programming.

Dude you are FANTASTIC at this! You programmed it like a breeze. I myself am too going for VG programming since I love video games. So can I ask, what language are you using? It looks like C++ or something.

[gigas10]

its just straight up c buddy

[PerfectkillClan]

c? hmm if u take the time to learn c might as well learn c++ right>

[lee155912000]

He's using C

at least that's what the file name said

"game1.c"

[MutantBamHammer]

yeah, he's using c.  When he compiles, he uses gcc.

[Nitros8891]

where can i get a linux's IDE???

[Churck]

I'm really impressed!

Could you recommend me a book about game mathematics and others about background game (including "moving" background) in allegro?

I got a lot of books but no one of them go deep in those aspects.

thanks

[concavator]

unfortunately I can't. I never learned from books. every game programming book I read sucked. To be honest, I may write one some day because of this. I learned from trial & error, editing demos (copy-paste-edit technique), and lots of internet forums. just keep at it and you'll get better with time. try to write a game right now with the limited knowledge you have, it'll be frustrating as hell but you'll learn alot.

[Churck]

The basics I got in allegro... but when it comes to make a game with backgrounds and things moving around, I really got difficults...

Thanks for the advise!

[PerfectkillClan]

mac is possiable the worst system you could write games on, then you dotn have all the fun of getting past windows erros :P

[liljoedaprince1414]

unless u also run windows like i do

[marcink96]

@PerfectkillClan yy.. its linux

[jackmosley06]

very good programmer. almost no typos. good

[moniker127]

Looks like kwrite and gimp.

[sqlitecandy]

So cool .

The background music is also good.

An excellent programer.

The editor is also cool.

[sports89man7]

whats then name of the first song?

[ryonagana]

concavator

i'm c++ programmer but what is the diference use

static void , is mnore quick?

and you use static int const why u use #define?

[emannet]

C++ is bad for your carreer

[ryonagana]

oh really?

who cares for your opinion?

[soccergod561234]

emannet are you stupid? c++ is the core of all games if you cant do c++ you'll never be able to pursue a career in programming because even today nothing can really match the standards of c++...

[concavator]

static is a safe-ism to prevent variables from leaking across multiple cpp files. its a technicality and a habit of mine, you can safely ignore it here

[ryonagana]

nice.. because in C# i use a lot that..

[gigas10]

c++ and c vary quite a bit, c++ sucks and c doesn't. end of story

[Nitros8891]

c++ sucks??? lol

[BurningWizardX5]

how long did it take you to learn the language? and which one is it?

[marmuhlade]

It's C.

[robatron3]

Nice Job (and no IDE, too)! That's pretty hardcore... What IDE would you recommend (or do you ever use one)?

[concavator]

for small projects, I don't use an ide. kdevelop is good for larger ones

[robatron3]

Is kdevelop available for gnome? I don't really like KDE, which leads me to my next question: Why do you use KDE? I'm still fairly new to the Linux scene...

[concavator]

its just a preference. you can run kdevelop under gnome. you don't have to be in kde to use it.

[ProlegalVideos]

Which sources do you recomend to learn allegro??

[joshawa613613]

look up a book by johnathon s. harbour hame programming all in one third edition, its part of thomson course technology, whatever tht means...well its freakin awsome but u need to know basic c++/c

[DrAsik100]

Very nice, thanks a lot. Where did you learn the Allegro libraries?

[concavator]

the os is Linux

[ROLLANDandCOLORS]

Sorry, but I'm a n00b when it comes to Linux. Which distro is it?
