How Long Does It Take to Build a Simple Physics Engine?
I've been working on a small 2D physics engine in C++ using SFML. So far I've implemented basic translation and I'm currently improving the collision system. I'm not…
How Do 3D Games Handle Collision With Complex Terrain and Caves?
I'm learning about collision detection in 3D game programming. At first, I imagined representing the world with a 2D or 3D array where each coordinate stores whether that…
How Do Games Handle Collision With Complex 3D Terrain?
I'm learning about collision detection in 3D games and initially assumed worlds might use a large 2D or 3D grid where each cell records whether it is occupied.…
Why Do Game Characters Sometimes Clip Through Walls and Go Out of Bounds?
I'm new to game programming, so please excuse the basic question. As I understand it, a game runs a main loop that updates the world frame by frame,…
What Happens When Two Enemies Are Equally Close to a Single-Target Attack?
My small team is planning to make beat 'em ups and fighting games, and I've been wondering how target selection works in an edge case. Suppose an attack…
What Happens When Two Enemies Are Equally Close to a Single-Target Attack?
My small team is planning to make beat 'em ups and fighting games, and I'm trying to understand how targeting behaves in an edge case. Imagine an action-combat…
Trouble with Sliding Collision in My Pac-Man Game
I'm working on a Pac-Man game using C++ and SFML, and I'm implementing a smooth collision slide for the player (represented by a circle). The idea is to…
How can I improve my collision detection system in C#?
Hey everyone! I'm currently developing a simple 2D game using MonoGame and I've created a basic collision detection system. Here's how it works: 1. In my Scenes class,…
Why Are Some Game Mechanics Tied to FPS?
I'm curious about why so many games, especially older ones, have certain actions tied to the frames per second (FPS). For example, games like Daggerfall and FNAF 1…
Need Help with Player Ground Detection in My Game Code
Hey everyone, I'm working on a game and I've set up code for movement. However, I'm running into an issue where the game doesn't seem to recognize whether…
Struggling with Collision Detection in Mini JS Games?
I've been using AI, mostly Blackbox for the game logic and a bit of Gemini Pro for UX, to build small browser games, like Breakout, Snake, and simple…
