Part 6 of the RayLib 2D Challenge got the 2D tile-map displaying, but scarfy could easily walk off the screen. His 2D world is larger than the screen, but there’s no player tracking camera. That’s today’s task.Click here to watch the video on Odysee.The Rule of ThirdsThe “rule of thirds,” is a rule-of-thumb for taking […]
Good news! Tileson can now handle “collection of images” tile maps. At least, my version does. I’ve yet to share the changes back. Either way, it means we can get to work. Â Click here to watch the video on Odysee. Performance Warning The code for this part is hideously inefficient. For each tile it looks […]
This is NOT what I was planning on writing. I was going to load the tile map created last time, so that Scarfy had a world to run around in. I’d chosen a third-party library to do the heavy lifting, and things were going smoothly. Then it crashed…Click here to watch the video on Odysee.The […]
So far, Scarfy has a title screen & menu, and can run and jump with sound effects. It’s high time that a world is built for him to run around in. That’s what I’m going to today. Watch the video above to see what happened…Click here to watch the video on Odysee.Tile MapsI decided to […]
Part 4 of the RayLib 2D Challenge was supposed to be adding an environment for scarfy to walk around in. I’m short of time, though, so I decided it was time to add the game menu. RayLib’s raygui module exists for that purpose. Let’s try it out…Click here to watch the video on Odysee.Immediate Mode […]
The code was starting to get a bit complex, in part 2 of this challenge. Despite my efforts, code for different tasks were getting mixed. It’s clearly time to add some structure to the code, or it’ll turn into an unmanageable mess. That’s today’s task.Click here to watch the video on Odysee.Switching to C++I decided […]
I showed my wife the first RayLib challenge, and the first words out of her mouth were, “can he jump?” Uh, no. Scarfy can’t jump. So, today I’m going to give scarfy the ability to jump, and add some sound effects for added realism. Watch the video above to see how it was done.Click this […]
I’ve heard great things about RayLib. It is, I’ve been told, so easy to use that all you really need is the cheat-sheet, and maybe a quick look at the examples. To date, I never got beyond compiling and running a few examples. So, it’s time for a challenge…Click here to watch the video on […]
A few weeks ago I decided to check out Raylib, an open-source game engine written in C. It’s different from other game engines such as Unity, Unreal, or Godot, because it has no editor to build levels and write scripts. Raylib has only the game engine core, and you build your game using that and […]
Ever had to put up with long compile times? If you’ve written software using compiled languages for a while, then I bet you have. Sooner or later, a project’s size grows to the point where an increasing amount of your time is spent waiting for the compiler to finish so that you can test your […]
