  • @vilet918
    @vilet918 ปีที่แล้ว +49

    It's so cool to see this! I've been learning Javascript Development using P5.js (it's not really meant for games but I've used it for a while for art and it's both less intimidating then vanilla JS and gives me more control of designing my engine in a way that more game focused libraries don't) Right now I'm in the middle of a space invaders clone and it has been so much fun! I'm getting a little drained by how long it's taking and this was just what i needed right now. I never realized what a motivation boost it would be to recognize the code on screen, it felt homey. Your game looks adorable and Kaboom is an awesome choice for a library, great job!

    • @BusinessWolf1
      @BusinessWolf1 ปีที่แล้ว

      If vanilla Js is intimidating to you, you have a much bigger problem than what library to use, and also you have absolutely no clue what you actually want from a library, because you haven't broken bad beliefs and built new ones about programming. You are at the start of the dunning kruger curve. Move forward on it before you do anything else, otherwise your projects will have bad code, bad architecture, will be impossible to maintain, completely unintelligible, and when you get better you will dread looking at their code again.

      ​​@@BusinessWolf1sorry, but this advice seems pretty bad "Move forward on [the dunning kruger curve] before you do anything else" how are they going to get further ahead with doing things? the most basic-level advice you can give anyone is to fail over and over again, right? shouldn't they make all of the bad, completely unintelligible code and architecture and use it as a learning experience for the future?

    By any chance you happen to have a course on how to design sprites/pixel art with certain design principles or best practices? I've build a simple dino game but damn, your visuals really transformed it into something else.
    You should create a signup list for it and see how many people would interested in the course, cuz I'm sure there'll be quite a demand for it. Would definitely sign up for a course just like that to up my design skills cuz it's ass hahah.

    Cute game
    I must say I wish you would go over the JavaScript part of it more. In the end, it was a just a video about making simple cute game, and nothing more
    There's nothing wrong with it, and it was cool to watch, but since the premise was about making a game in JavaScript, I was hoping to see what differences there were between the organization/problems & solutions/e.c. there would be between a JavaScript game with any other one
    Maybe it was all just about promoting Brilliant? Idk
    Besides that, it was a chill video

    You should make a game in Microsoft Makecode Arcade next. Its default is blocks, but it is slightly different than Scratch's blocks. You can also change it to JavaScript or python if you want. It is good for retro style games like Dewdrop Dynasty. But it only has the amount of buttons a game boy has (hence the retro aspect) so it might be hard to work with. I love your videos! 😀
