a website about my video games. I think
I had been using pharo 10. Well I wanted to use pharo 10 but, I have not used it very much. I have probably been using pharo since it came out. And I still have not made my own programs with it.
I so want to be good at using pharo. I don’t know if I ever will but, who knows. I will certainly have to work a lot more in it and try to make something. Maybe I will be able to. I don’t know. I will see.
game in godot. I don’t enjoy playing the game that much but, there is a tutorial about how to make the game so I might as well make it. After I get done making the game I want to see if I can improve it.
I also want to keep working on and improving the games I have already worked on.
I have not used blender much lately because I have been busy with godot. So I thought today I want to work on the the motorcycle. I worked on the fenders, exhaust pipe and handle bars, and front forks.
I had trouble with the handle bars because I don’t have a top view of the motorcycle. So I will have to just model the handle bars and try to get them the best I can. Otherwise I will never get the motorcycle finished.
I had fun modeling today.
The tutorial I am watching is an hour and five minutes long. And I am at about the 55 minute mark. So I should be able to get the game done soon. I can’t wait. And after I get through the tutorial I want to see if I can add things to the game.
It still seems like I have a long way to go to get good at godot. It seems that I will never get there but, who knows if I keep trying I may surprise myself.
I don’t know if I will ever be any good using it but, I want to try because thinking about making video games that people would want to play makes me think I want to do that.
I don’t know how long it will take me before I make a game anyone will want to play but, if I don’t start making games I won’t ever have a change to make a good game.
Right now I am working on a pong clone and a match 3 game like candy crush. I saw that there is also a tutorial on how to make a tetris game.
So I hope that sometime I get good at using godot. Though I am not sure that will ever happen. But, I will keep working.
I watched a video on how to set up krita for pixel are and used it a little bit, but, I want to make some pixel art. I saw a blender tutorial about how to make pixel are with blender. And I want to try that also.
And I also hope I make sounds and music for my own video games. And I also hope I keep making video games. Time will tell.
I made Plane Survival with godot 3.5 so it would not work with Godot 4.0. So yesterday I decided that I am going to get it working. And I did.
Well its not a very big game. So all I did was change the player for a Area to a Character2d. And I added input keys, and then I changed the code to make the plane move. Once I got that working I decided I did not like that I had to press a button to start the game.
So I got rid of the button and added the r key to restart the game which I like better than having to use a mouse or the enter key.
I hope to do some more work on plane survival to make it better. I need to work on games a lot to get better at using godot that is for sure.
Oh, and I also made it so that you can play plane survival in a browser. I like that I can make the games playable in browser so people don’t have to download anything to play the game.
Plane Survival on itch.io
itch.io. Before I did that I watched a video on how to upload a project so it would play in a browser. It thought I had to use unity or unreal engines. I was wrong. I could also do it with godot.
So I was about to get operation thumbtack on itch and have it play in the browser and also provide a downloadable file for it. Usually I only do windows but, I think sometime I will make files for mac and linux.
And then I saw that I could edit the theme. So I used the colors that I used for the game or at least similar colors. And then yesterday I figured out how I could take a screen shot of the game. Well at least a screen shot of the start screen.
I am not sure if anyone will ever want to play any games I make but, its sure fun thinking about why type of games I want to make. Coming up with game ideas.
I just found out itch has a widget that I can copy the code and put it on my blog. Its down below. Oh I could not get the widget to work. So here is a link to operation thumbtack on itch.io
I watched a video about how to add sounds in godot. I am not sure who made the video but, I want to use the website to make some sounds for video games. Its called jsfxr.
I am almost finished with operation thumbtack. Well, maybe not finished but, at least it came be played.
Its hard to believe that I will ever get good at godot but, I want to keep trying since one of the reasons I wanted to use a computer was so that I could make video games. That was about 20 years ago.
Its never to late to start making video games as I see it.
One of the things I learned about yesterday while watching the video about dutch car companies was that the dutch raced the Daf 600 backwards.
It had never occurred to me that anyone would ever race a car backward. I am sure its a lot harder than racing a car going forward.
So of the crashes of backward car racing in the video I watched about it look bad.
