ookiimarukochanMy copy of "Game programming from the age of 12 with zero experience of C++" has arrived, but it's going to have to wait til next week for me to have a chance to read it - I did have the chance to notice that Chapter 5 is a visual novel game but all the logic flow and text is embedded in the source which seems like a dreadful idea to me!
@@trotsky That's usually how beginner gamedev books are. Not worth it.
@at looked at the samples and that engine does have a "scenario" file so it may not be as bad as it could be - it's not something I got for serious study though, more to boost my collection of moe IT books
@trotsky To be fair, I keep around a bunch of awful programming books for no reason, including "Flash Game Programming For Dummies" that does everything with Actionscript 2. Their suggestion for a camera system is moving everything in the world around except the player, locked to the middle of the screen
@at the title gives it away, it IS "For Dummies"!
