Another day in my personal playground! Let’s make cool stuff.
Time: 59:09
Learned:
- How to create a simple particle effect bullet trail
- How to do simple ray-casting to detect if bullet hit
Diary:
Onwards and upwards! I don’t quite have the chops nor the energy for original thought right now, but I am certain that soon I will continue on my game idea. In the meantime, I am powering through this tutorial.
This tutorial is great (saying it again). It’s like a game development buffet. It picked and chose various ideas across many games and put them all into this neat platformer. I get to understand the mechanics behind a lot of my favorite games. It doesn’t hurt that 2D platformers are dear to my heart.
