ShmOOp! Making a scrolling shooter
Lately I've been going through this very cool tutorial and trying to make my own silly shooter - gotta be honest there's a lot code wise that's just not sinking in, and that's a bit frustrating.
Overall there's always a thing or two I end up picking up. Guess that's how it goes.
I'll keep going with this until it's decent enough for me to put a working build online here, besides sharing my project on github and all that jazz! :)
So this is where I'm at currently:
Enemies are not spawning yet, but both player and enemies can shoot, hurt each other and YAY PARALLAX. My brain is having a hard time understanding the looping bit tho.
We'll get there. Hang in there brain.
And okay, I admit: all assets are stuff I did for past game jams, thrown together. Crazy confusing art mix.
On a side note, I've started watching lectures from this C# course on Coursera. It uses XNA, but the point is it seems to go over many fundamental programming basics, which is always helpful for us beginners. The course is not ongoing at the moment but the entire video lectures can still be viewed at any time (really wished all coursera classes worked this way...I keep missing classes and access to lectures I wanna see!).
That's it for today!
ps: thanks for all the supportive comments and help, you guys are wonderful. Learning coding can get hard and real frustrating at many times but having encouragement makes all the difference! <3
