@R1100 Yeah I'm pretty proficient in Unity. I'm hoping to move to Unreal soon but I'm honestly just looking for some reading material on game development.

@Codex404 Thank you! I'll check them out :)

@billgates Thanks :)

@Codex404 They're game programming focused but are general so a bit of graphics, bit of maths, physics etc.

Really? Can I ask for some recommendations? :)

@Stuxnet I understand this but it's a hard pill to swallow after paying out £30 initially only to be told that you don't have the ability to get everything some things have to still be bought.

Also, like I said in my first comment, if it's free then I don't care.

@Stuxnet Yeah but it still annoys me you've paid full price for a game and yet they still try and get money out of you. You still don't have access to "the whole game" the only comfort to you is that 'at least it's cosmetic'.

Reminds me of the Van Halen logo

@Stuxnet depends on the type of game. If it's a free to play mobile game then yeah whatever. If I paid £30 for the game and there are microtransactions then that sucks. I'd rather they were cosmetic at that point but it still sucks that they're there. I understand why they have to exist in some cases but I wish there was an alternative.

Thanks for all your responses :) I'm definitely going to check out your recommendations, can't wait! :D

(a-b) = 0 therefore you can't divide by it as you can't divide by zero.

Android studio has caused me more hassle than anything I've ever used before. I understand this all too well! 😂

Maybe they meant (2+2)*4?

I hate starting joint projects with friends where the project is for them and I end up doing all of the work. And then to make it worse, after hours of work, when it's complete they ignore me and don't want it anymore...

I understand your pain...

I'd probably start by learning Russian.

@Codex404 Maybe, I'm not saying that my comment is true for everyone. It's just in my experience, seeing how people react.

@Codex404 I agree about adapting but I disagree about it being the same the other way around. People don't tend to give up on easier looking things?

@freakko one would definitely be not using semicolons. I've seen so many people in my class give up after continuously missing semicolons. In fact the whole syntax as a whole is a bad habit imo. It looks much simpler, and that's the issue. So many are scared off by the braces, the need to define what type of value a function will return, the need to define a variable's type, access specifiers, etc. People seem to hate this when moving over to something like C++ from what I've seen. It's not much more complex but I guess it just seems like it.

(Also, I personally hate the fact that you can't pass variables by reference or use pointers, at least in my experience. That isn't really a bad habit though)

P.S. sorry for the massive rant 😂👍 maybe you disagree? Maybe I'm wrong? Idk, that's just what I've experienced in my class/with friends.

I guess but tbh Python teaches some pretty bad habits + it can be hard to transition from Python to a language more like C++. I've seen many give up on programming when they realise they've got to used to Python.

I mean, I guess it has its uses

@Ezard Me too! I'm not at uni yet (start next year). Why wouldn't they want to hire graduates? :)

Anyone know if this is a good book? Been looking for programming books to read before university

@codePatrol I get that for professional development but from an academic point of view surely it makes sense to get credit for your own implementations?

@theCalcaholic ah so that's what it is. Cheers I didn't know that was the reason :)

the amount of times this has screwed me over is unbelievable.

Why is it like this ? There must be a reason. Seems silly though :/

@balte I have the opposite issue though 😂 I can use libraries to do everything. I won't lose any marks for using a library than if I did it myself. :/

@MatanRad hopefully going to put it on itch.io :) Will definitely upload a link/key to it here :) !!

XD I mean who needs the sort function anyway

@MatanRad I LOVE watching them GDC presentations! They're really good + very interesting. I'm not really sure that there is any particular side to game development that I'm interested in though. I like doing it all :/ I can't see myself only doing one particular part like physics or graphics etc.

@Froot I don't know it that well though! I'm more comfortable with C#/C++ xD

@JonnyCodewalker I started with that when I first started :) I've learned enough now to use Unity/UE4 well enough to make small games (big enough for my A level project). I just struggle with the whole art/animation side xD
