dude that's awesome./r/showerthoughtsI tried to get 3rd place in a contest on purpose earlier this year and succeeded. I'm still not sure how.
It must take a lot of skill to try and get 2nd place on purpose
Been trying to code my own lightweight basic 2D game engine with SFML.net. I've seen a few websites about 2d game engines but they usually go way beyond the scope of what I want early on.
I have only two source files thus far. It's in C# in case you could not tell.

using System;
namespace HyruleEngine
{
class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("This is the Hyrule Engine Version 0.0.0.1");
Console.WriteLine("Features in this release: Basic engine functions.");
// TODO: Implement Functionality Here
Console.Write("Press any key to continue . . . ");
Console.ReadKey(true);
GameCore app = new GameCore();
app.Run();
}
}
}

I hope I am on the right track. What I am aiming for is a simple engine that runs via states: Title, File Select, Game, End/Game Over. I want drawable objects that draw themselves. When I worked with XNA, that's how I handled objects that were drawn/active.
I do need to work more on SFML as well. The damn documentation for .net is skimpy at best. Been trying to correlate the normal C++ docs to the .net docs.
Anyway, if anyone has any resources , I'd appreciate it. I should mention that the engine runs fine as is right now so I haven't broken anything yet.
Quote2.) Are probably so low level that they'll only be able to talk about pointers.
I feel like this is targeted at me
On the subject of tuning the JVM, this is something the end-user would have to do as well, right?
Can someone say me because no one recommends Java? D:
I also made some good experiences with (Lwjgl), Slick.
Java should be slow I heard, but is Java really that bad?
I feel like the controls shouldn't be too stiff, and the movement engine should be setup in such a way that it works with the game system. For example...I feel the first Legend of Zelda's controls are way too stiff. Link walks like he's on a grid (because he is), and that kind of movement just isn't suited for that type of combat system.
This should go to "Discussions", because nothing is concrete yet.Leave the !@#$% job to us.
We're using git, how do you LOSE code? xD
Wow ! Talk about frustrated , I haven't been on here for about a good week so imagine my surprise when I check my email and see someone chewing me out . First I'd like to say sorry to anyone offended by anything that was said . Now I'd Like to explain what I mean and then address the issue . My younger brother asked to use my laptop to do some studying lastnight so of course I said yes what brother wouldn't want to support their brothers studying ,he is also a huge Zelda fan and a big fan of my work and many other projects on here . Him being the hot headed 16yr old he is decided to comment back as me -_- WTF?!? Who does that ? So again I apologize for that , now for the issue at Hand I myself im all about giving credit if I use someone else's sprite(s). I was unaware that u didn't mention that I did not do the leaves and tight butthole I used them as a place holder until I actually made my own which I still haven't gotten around to doing yet I've been to busy working on a web series based off a book my cousin and I wrote. I do however agree that there is nothing wrong with recycling old unused sprites wether it be the Actual sprite or an edit as long as it is used to create something awesome for the community or any other Zelda fans to use or enjoy . I also agree with giving credit where it's due although I have seen plenty people not ive seen a lot of my sprites used and edited in games or just on sites some gave credit some even asked to use them but many didn't and me personally I don't to much care that's what they are there for I'm not paid for this they are base on ZELDA which doesn't belong to me so in a way the sprites don't either , but I do understand some people really want credit so until I get a chance I'll find that sprite sheet and put the proper credits as for the rest of my sprites I'm 99% they are all mine but after I check I'll be 100% lol so again sorry to anyone that idiot offended anyone who knows of me knows I'm pretty open to criticism and would have known that wasn't me .
