  • I want to make games someday but where do i start and what should i learn?

    Jump

  • The difference between coding and programming is similar to the difference between geeks and nerds: difference without distinction. Programming is the act of giving a computer instructions and coding is the act of writing code. We give computers instructions by writing code, so no difference.

    Godot is a great place to start. It is a free game engine with excellent documentation and a bunch of online content. It uses a programming language that is simpler/more abstracted then C/C#. It is also way more forgiving then C. The documentation has a couple of tutorials for you to follow as well. Godot also allows you to export your game to browser, android, or Steam.

    If that is too much for you you can try RPGMaker MV (nade for nonprogrammers) or Scratch (made for kids).

    Don't focus on learning everything at once. Pick one thing to learn / focus on at a time.

    There are tons of free game assets out there for you to use to help you focus. For example when you are learning programming don't worry about the images and sounds, use premade ones.

    You can always go back later and make your own assets for them when you decide to focus on that aspect.

    Along the way you may find you really enjoy one particular aspect of it and zero in on that, but for a baseline.

    Make tiny simple games so you can see progress and share. This one was/is the hardest one for me. I've long wanted to make games and had huge grandeous ideas for one and always itching to make it but I need to tackle things that are reasonable that I can finish.

    For 2D assets you could use GIMP for free or Affinity. As a solo developer I don't recommend Adobe.

    For 3D assets Blender is the best way to go and is free.

  • How are Americans preparing for the Trumpist supply shock?

  • I'm an American citizen self deporting.

  • More of an informal poll, but do you cover your mouth when you yawn when you're alone at home?

    Jump

  • I don't cover my mouth when I yawn.

    When I'm in a freind group I'll make eye contact with someone and extend my tongue to assert dominance.

  • How many eggs do you eat in a week?

    Jump

  • When I was younger about 14 eggs a week. Now about 9.

    Where I am eggs have only gone up about $0.20 in the last few months. Still under $6 per dozen for cage free eggs. Maybe $3.50 for caged eggs?

  • If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it?

  • LEGO Avatar the Last Airbender

  • Yes, an rpg vector based video game to play in the browser. Actually trying to rearrange my life so I can make it :)

  • What was the first thing you ever stole?

    Jump

  • When I went to malls as a teenager I would often get stopped and searched as if I was shoplifting. Was over 6' at 16 and often wore hoodies. When I started getting into cross-dressing I was too ashamed to go through checkout with it. So I dressed in nicer clothes then hoodie and jeans, and shoplifted women's clothing from every clothing store that ever stopped and searched me incorrectly previously. Part shame part revenge part kink.

  • Rate could mean over time or percentage of. I think OP was thinking of time, in which case your wouldn't need the total number of schoolchildren. Just divide the population of billionaires by the number of schoolchildren that die by violent crime per year.

  • TIL that there is no strict definition of a continent

    Jump

  • I'm of the unpopular opinion that India/Pakistan should be its own continent and New Zealand should be different continent then Australia. Both because they are different techtonic plates.

  • It has more efficient lossy compression then JPEG. It has more efficient lossless compression then PNG. More efficient compression then gif and supports animation like gif. It allows for more colors then any of those 3. You can have a single for extension for photos graphics, and animations and costs less storage and bandwidth saving money and making a better ui.

  • Donald Trump’s Hitlerian logic is no mistake | The former president claims to have never read Mein Kampf. But his use of blood and soil rhetoric is deliberate

    My English Breakfast tea states it contains 2g of protein.

    Jump

  • Tea is made from plants. All plants have proteins. The parts of the plant that we eat may or may not be a good source of protein for humans.

    Practically all Chinese, Indian, and English teas are all made from the same species of plant, Camellia sinensis, simply known as a tea tree. If you were to eat the leaves they would be a good source of protein and fiber, not to mention vitamins and antioxidants. However, we discard the leaves with the fiber, and typical ways of preparing the leaves and the tea can decrease the protein and antioxidants. Its possible your brand flash freezes tthe leaves or uses some other method to try and preserve these nutrients. Ive seen some English teas that are powder you mix in instead of steeping, and this would work as well. In fact, tea leaves are absolutely edible! If you get a decent to high quality tea you can take your leaves after you make tea and throw them in a smoothie, soup, or even eggs and youll get the rest of the nutrients left in them and wont be thowing food in the bin.
