My Game Engine Has a Fatal Flaw - Here's How I Found It : #Gamedev the Hard Way
Welcome to the next edition of Gamedev The Hard Way. This time I’m programming some basic enemy behaviours to test out my game’s entity handling code. Things don’t go to plan however and I discover some quite major problems with the physics and tilemap code.
Welcome to the next edition of Gamedev The Hard Way. This time I attempt to program some basic enemy behaviours to test out my game’s entity handling code. This is quite a fundamental part of the game as I will need to create many entities, each with their own code. Things don’t go to plan however and I discover some quite major problems with the physics and tilemap code.
