@UriPopov you could just add more samples

Hello is anyone here

I want to try game development but have very little programming knowledge.

I considered learning Javascript but havent begun.

Should I learn javascript and Unity or something else? or c sharp?

@Tyyppi_77 What language u use and please can you show me a guide to beginning?

I saw your website, pretty cool stuff.

@Tyyppi_77 Actually I had tried sfml with c++ but didnt go much further

@Tyy Actually firstly I wasnt very sincere due to school and other stuff

And also

I had to follow a long process to create a sfml project in Visual studio

For every new project, i had to create sfml project on visual studio and do a hell lot of configuration

@Ty Tell me is steam paid or free

i mean If I need to put a game on that site

Thats too much

So what platforms are needed to get the game there

I mean any platform?

@Tyy ok last question how much time will it require to learn programming and making simple to medium game if I be sincere, regular

And one lasst question why you chose SDL

Thanks a lot for comments! I learnt c++ in past times, our school only has theory subject like literature, history, sciences. no computer related fields. i felt the language was very confusing after a while, so i started to forget it and decide to learn somethng else

@tyyppi So sfml is a library, can it be used to create 3d games?

@Tyyppi_77 see in this video, everytime I had to do this to create a project of sfml

Is there no way around this

@Tyyppi_77 I was following a book. something about sfml, so I started to create new project in each new chapter. Oh I see that was the foolish thing I was doing

So I created new projects for them

No not really, you are right, isnt it better to make one project and delete its content, and put new example of author in it to check it

yeah thats true.. Thanks a lot for important advice!

@Tyy So should I continue with sfml or go to the c sharp and unity

@Tyyppi_77 it already is

@Tyyppi_77 do you know how that's done? I couldn't find much on the internet

Oh that uhhhh

That was unexpected.. didn't even notice it :P thx

cool stuff @Tyyppi_77

It seems I'm dropping on my ranking from pointlesssites.com/slightly-interesting.asp

And that seems to be affecting my traffic. Interesting...

I did not even know this was a thing

It apparently is... And I've gotten a pretty steady amount of traffic from the site.

the internet is a weird place

I'm going to work on translations for my site, with assistance. The new site manager I'm using should make for fairly easy site translations.

@PearsonArtPhoto What website do you have on Pointlesssites? Could I check it out. I like pointless stuff. :)

Where is Starman.

whereisroadster.com

dude thats cool

i like this

Yeah, I'm working on it.

I'm going to re-design the whole site using a standard package soon.

So its not in the earths orbit but the suns? Can an object like a car get pulled into to mars orbit?

Im not a science guy so excuse my ignorance

Nope without some amazing luck.

the image is broken for me

but its not orbiting the earth? I would think it would orbit the earth

So it is... Strange.

Roadster_Earth 404s

I would imagine it would behave like a satalite

lambparade if you launch anything fast enough, it will leave Earth

It is now fixed.

all orbits have an "escape velocity" which lets you escape the gravitational well of an object

Silly me... Sigh.

I think I accidentally deleted that image when I re-arranged a good bit of the site. Been that way for a few days...

I surpised they gave it so much power to escape velcity

I even noticed it last night, but I didn't pay enough attention to it...

I need to play more kerbal space program

It was part of the test of it.

They wanted to demonstrate that payload it could carry to Mars.

oh i see

thats interesting

And actually the true payload to Mars is quite a bit higher.

They aren't actually going to Mars, but they demonstrated they could, if they launched at the right time.

well, if you're okay with a 2-year flight, it's doable with the current trajectory :)

They could have done it sooner, but yea, it will be fairly close in 2 years.

And a bit of tweaking could make it closer.

I'm also working on a KSP series where I talk about the fact and fiction of KSP, youtube.com/c/whereisroadster

@Tyyppi_77 niiice! :D that looks really good!

You really need to reach out and do a bit of marketing. I bet you could have pretty solid sales if you reach out to the right people.

Do people do lighting effects with shaders?

yes

some exceptoins apply - you could do approximations of some lighting effects without shaders, like drawing full-screen masks with a blending mode,

some effects may be done by a shader based on parameters of the objects's surface and materials and some effects are done in screen space

maaan cloth is harder that I originally thought

I just wanted to create a Rocket-league like model, to test some mechanics in Unity :D

the result doesn't look too bad imo

not bad

awesome, what a difference :D

nice
