I have discovered life in this thread
And how to steal the crown

In all seriousness i'm planning on making a game but i need to learn basic unity stuff, every hour i have no classes at school i look up some tutorals, but i still haven't started yet.
How do i make myself less of a lazy forget?

get some inspiration, that's what usually motivates me into working on a game

whoah wait up
before learning the unity stuff try doing some more basic stuff
like love
i use love
my last gif was made in love
seen move or die? love
concerned joe? yah

love uses lua and has a nice syntax
its not a base language like cpp or java but it does the job good and is optimal

in cpp youd first define the class then the main stream and then youd print an annoyingly weirdly syntaxed string of code that stands as a print function

in lua you do print "text" DONE

love 3d library (?):
http://love2d.org/wiki/LUBE
it gets even better

sry for double post but this post was on a different topic that my last one so i thought it would be kinda dumb to post this in the last post but yea

[Kingdaro]

That's actually a networking library, but yeah, some of LOVE's library names are amazing.

Are you using C# instead of C++? To print something to console in C++ all you need is

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>
int main() {
    std::cout << "hello\n";
    return 1;
}EDIT: I forgot my return :c

[Kingdaro]

Should be 0 instead of 1, but I don't think you actually need to do that anymore.

On the subject, I don't really like C++, because the syntax is really dirty, restrictive, inconsistent, and just ugly in general.

[Foxscotch]

I'm gonna learn C++, but only because UE4 uses it
plus who knows. maybe it'll be useful another time

[Kishgal]

try all the time give or take

[McJobless]

really dirty, restrictive, inconsistent, and just ugly in general.

The same could apply to you.




But seriously, I don't understand the problem. C++ is the most fun I've ever had with programming, ever, and I think the syntax is really easy to understand and flows well. Then again, my first language was C, so...

oh, i must've mistaken Java with cpp, but you have to admit, the syntax is still pretty annoying

Great. My monitor just completely died. It's an LG flatron w1934s. it makes a black screen and lights up the blue led on the bottom. so until anyone figures out how to turn .exe to .love, im forgeted
i had all my games on there and i didnt put them anywhere
i dont have any other monitor that will work with my pc
i need to buy a new monitor now :((

Edit: now i have to rewrite the whole loving game again and redraw all the loving spritesheets
Somehow when I turned off my pc through the power-switch (remember, no monitor) the files didnt save and they are corrupted. All of them/ The spritesheets aswell. This is really bad

Damn
You couldn't ask family members for a monitor for a minute?

All you have to do is rename it to a .love or a .zip and you're good.

return 1;

you gross me out
