Recently I have gotten interested in pool

Its probably the first time I have watch a pool competition. I don’t know but, anyway its the first time I remember watching pool competitions. And I have enjoyed watching pool.

Growing up my grandmother had a pool table at her house and I remember paying a game or two of pool. I don’t know how often I played pool. All I remember is that I played pool and I was not that good at it. I suppose I liked to hit the ball to hard every time.

Maybe I tried to do good at pool or maybe I just wanted to hit the cue ball hard. I don’t really remember. I suppose I did have full playing pool.

I remember we used to play stripes and solids. I probably did not do to good in that game. I don’t remember winning any of those games. And I suppose I did not care if I won or not.

I don’t remember the last time I played a game of pool. Probably it was decades ago. I feel old now. Ah, what can I do. People don’t get younger. People only get older.

So yesterday I saw a godot 4 tutorial for a pool game and I want to follow along with the tutorial and make a pool game. Then I hope to make my own graphics and add to the game. And then I thought I will write a song for the game or maybe more than one song.

That is what I hope to do anyway. I say and think I want to do a lot of things and then I never do them. Any that is what I hope doesn’t happen this time. I want to make that pool game and some songs for it and then when I get through the tutorial I want to make my own pool graphics.

Today I watched a video about the rules of snooker. It seems complicated. I will stick to trying to make a pool game for now.

I started work on a 2d soccer game in godot

I am following along with a short 2d soccer game tutorial and since the tutorial is for godot 3 I am using godot 3.5LTS to follow along.

I made a soccer field and a soccer ball on leonardo.ai and will use those assets in the game. I set up the walls and made the player the godot icon. The player can move left and right now.

I am not sure when I set up the soccer ball if it will collide with the walls so I will have to wait and see.

This is the first time I have worked in godot in 2024. I want to work in godot a lot more for the rest of this year.

I have not worked with godot much this year

At the end of last year I used godot more. And I want to get back to using godot.

I figure I want to learn how to make assets with blender, and krita, and then I want to make game music with lmms, And then I want to put the games together with godot.

I want to start off making the game of my dreams. For me using godot is hard so I have to build up to making the game I want to make.

So I need to make a lot of games and practice using godot a lot. I hope I get back to using godot.

I got godot 3.5 to start up

on linux xenial64 7.5. I was excited about that. I thought cool now I can make some games well at least watch some godot tutorials and follow along on my computers.

Then I tried running a scene in goodot and my computer seemed to freeze. Or maybe it was taking a long time to show the scene.

Anyway I was disappointed. I was hoping to use godot on my old laptops. But, I don’t think I will be able to.

At least I tried.

I uploaded flappy bird san francisco to itch

I finished going through the flappy bird godot 4 tutorial and then I wanted to change the game. So I used leonardo.ai to make the background and obstacles.

The background has a row of houses and a sky scraper. The obstacles are street lights.

I had been wondering how to use leonardo.ai to make game assets and I finally figured out how to. I used gimp to remove the background of the AI generated images and resized the images.

I also changed the color of the ground to black and yellow to symbolize danger. And I added background horror music to make the game spookier.

I also edited the theme for the game page on itco.io.

And I decided to call the game flappy bird san francisco.

I finished watching the flappy bird tutorial yesterday so

my flappy bird game is finished I just have to put in sound. At least the game works. I am excited about the game because I figured out how to use leonardo.ai for game assets. I made the background and the obstacles for the game with AI. And I also used gimp to color the ground like caution tape.

Its so fun to be making things instead of always saying next year I will make a game or programs something. I hope I get better programming though I am not sure I ever will be able to code anything on my own.

I am going to start working on a tic tac toe

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.

Today in godot I worked on the pong game

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.

Its fun using godot 4

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 want to learn how to make pixel art for my games

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.
