BIG PROJECT! Top Down City Based Car Crime Game #1 

You: Grand Theft Auto Me, an intellectual: City Based Car Crime Game

I think this channel has to be the best of its kind on RU-vid. There are good indie game Devs on RU-vid but you go above and beyond for your viewers in terms of sharing your valuable knowledge and time. Well done sir! I salute thee :)

I'd give you an oscar just for your intros alone. "Let's make x" -> ***goes straight to the point***

I was an atheist until I discovered this channel

I’ll be taking this episode alone in chunks, my brain cannot focus for so long. However, I’m honestly just super shocked at how much effort you put in. I wish I actually had some money to give you, you deserve it.

Your channel is an actual gem It's decided, gonna dedicate one week to marathoning as many videos of yours as I can

Oo, I can't wait for the sequel; Top Down City Based Car Crime Game: A City Where They Drive On The Left Side Of The Road, Four-Digit Year!

I love your videos, you go into detail that no one else goes into. You don't just slam us with a thousand lines of code, you explain what you're doing and why before you do anything. If you see this, thank you.

One of the best Channels on RU-vid! Computer Science applications through game design and development- Inspiring!

Wow! Just wow! This is what one cool coder can do with his code! I'm totally flabbergasted! David, that's so cool!

Awesome stuff. I've made plenty of smaller games, game jams and such with friends, but I've always struggled with bigger projects, especially with multiple people. I haven't really seen any other channel tackle and go through the problems that arise with larger projects like this. Excited for this series to keep going.

You`re one of the best CPP teachers I`ve ever seen! Thank you so much for the peice of knowledge you share!

Man. I'm so happy I found your channel! It´s not only that you are good... watching you is so relaxing. After a day of work, I like to sit, turn off my brain, let you do the hard thinking and enjoy the final result. Watching your previous videos, seems like you enjoy object oriented programming. So sad, but nobody is perfect... right? :) Keep up the great work. Looking forward for the continuation of your big project.

It looks amazing! Without exaggeration I say that you are one of the best explaining teachers I have ever seen... you make the subject look fun. Thank you

this guy probably knows people are going to be WOWish over this content and for good reason. It's hard to come by videos of this high quality. Def commend this and hope we see videos of same quality, if not of better quality. This man makes a great teacher.

Simply awesome, I’m so excited to put some spins on this. I’m a recent subscriber and code-newbie but I’ve left my data-structure studying and tried to use code that I wasn’t familiar with, so I just started using the pixel engine. So far I’ve done a basic project to draw 2 lines to a graph, draw their intersection and have a basic menu to select which coordinate you want to move around. It’s been a brilliant introduction to graphics and was the most rewarding part of my learning so far! Thanks a lot!

This was really easy to follow even without watching the 3d series. It‘s all starting to make sense !!!

Fantastic as usual. Very informative, high quality content.

Love your videos, they are giving me so much ideas and motivation to code game engine/game myself :) Keep up the good work

Dude after discovering your raycasting engine I find this too? This was literally going to be my next project hahah. Absolutely love this guy.

Oh, now I want to convert this to raylib, using my own 3D framework/mini engine. Looks like fun and educational. I love your stuff!

This channel needs to be far bigger, the quality of the content and narration is top notch.

I love your channel! Keep up the good work :)

A video I never knew I wanted! Looks like a fun watch. I'm quite new to programming, but things like this really inspire me to learn. I'd love to make an isometric RPG a la Fallout 2 someday. Thanks for making videos, I'm certainly a fan!

I am extremely grateful for this channel!

Awesome video and awesome (big) project. Cant wait to see were this takes us, and where the community takes it.

The title reminds me of MREs in the military. They used generic descriptions of the food contents. So instead of having M&Ms for example, you'd have "candy coated chocolate discs" or something like that. Anyway, seeing "Top Down City Based Car Crime Game" really gave me a good chuckle. Reminds me of a certain game...can't quite put my finger on it. Well done Javid. ;)

Hi I absolutely love you're videos! They explain complex concepts in a very understandable way. Keep up the good work! 😁. I do have a suggestion, especially for such a big project u might want to use a entity component system disign pattern. Looking forward to your next video 😊

I came across your channel from the Console FPS video. That was a really interesting watch and for a postgrad Computer Science student like me, I am still learning a lot of new things about programming, games engines (I really wanna get into them) and Computer Science in general. You've just earned a new sub. Thank you for your hard work and keep doing what you're doing!

You're so underrated. This is really cool!

Man, You're awesome! Each of your videos is better than the previous one. Also, I'm glad to see that your subscribers numbers are going up too. You deserve it! Keep going ;)

Awesome project. I am looking forward to watch you videos. I really like how you organize stuff. Sometimes in big projects you need to let the machine handle complicated stuff while you focus on a package of goals. Game development enhance multithreading thinking which is very important in computational thinking viewed as a skill to have. Very nice !

19:56 "And it looks like a horrible mess; it's completely and utterly failed." Cracked me up!

love your channel... it makes me want to start coding again... thank you... lovely way of teaching and representing

I really like your videos and looking forward for the next one.

I just recently discovered your videos yesterday. I'm almost finished watching all of them. And it was fantastic! Love your videos

This is one of your videos I like everyone to watch

Awesome and amazing. you have answered so many questions of mine.Thank you!

I just started watching you last night, and I'm glad you are actually active

You deserve more subs my dude. I have been using Java for a lot of stuff (C++ was my first language however) and I just figured out that Java's painting system is very slow and I would have to use OpenGL in order to make large games like you are doing. So If I am going to make a large game with OpenGL I would rather use C++ than Java. So now I am on a mission to create my own 3D/2D engine for C++.

very nice! next part pls!

Great Video - thx for teaching us!

Game introduction: WOA Map editing: WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

A neat little trick for drawing different tiles based on which neighbours are occupied (like when you're drawing road sections, corners, junctions etc), which avoids a bunch of messy conditional cases: 1) Construct a bit mask based on which neighbours are occupied (e.g. North occupied -> add 1, East occupied -> add 1

Excellent as always, this should be great fun ^_^

this video inspirer me to learn more about math and programming .Thank you for the inspiration (:

That is very COOL!

Finally, first video in 2019, nice

Amazing!!! Looks great!!! Ols school but 3d. Sim city meets chase HQ 🤯🤯🤯

I love this. A quick world-making engine built using a program using a pixel engine using a 3d graphics extension!!!

this series does not seem to be 4 years old, the production and content quality are top tier

As many of the other comments, I think you are providing a most amazing and in-depth look and DIY toolset so many of us have been dreaming of since we all first saw and played these games. Your approach is so unassuming and welcoming that I, at my deepest, have no opposition to. You are most agreeable and brilliant. Thank you for your time and willingness to share. I only found you a few weeks ago and I'm hooked : ) thank you for creating and sharing

Nice! Great video!

Not sure if you will or if you would or if you had the time for this but would you consider reviewing C++ code for final fantasy 7 and the concepts behind the code? Maybe as a sort of history of C++ legacy code explanation versus what we’re doing now kind of thing? I’m sure you’ll get loads of views no matter what you do. Keep up the excellent content. I really enjoy the videos you produce and find them highly informative and interesting and fun. Thanks for caring and taking the time to do these!

legendary as usual

I'm now losing my mind from hype!!! I'm really looking forward to the collision system.

Javid's uploads make a better day

watching the first few minutes of this made me feel the same way Sid mires did when he got the inspiration for Sim City.

as usual great @javidx9 !! hope i've the level to understand this soon ;-) i return to the circle collision :-))

Italian mafioso : Ay Go to Javid’s Computer shop Grab the protection money Javid : *Distracts the guy by making him play*

I’d love to see a raytracing engine with more complex features like reflections and diffusion on surfaces. Having the simulated light rays travel at a finite speed could do some pretty funky effects.

Cant wait to next episode

Hey Javid ! Nice concept, I already lové the series ! By the way, why would you not override the operators in the vector class instead of making a function for that, which may be less flexible ? For example you could type vec3 = vec2 + vec1

Ahhhh, good old original GTA... Spent a few hours in that in high school. :D

You never fail to impress me

Aaand done, very glad you finally got into some frustum culling territory, even if it's just grid based, but it surely is one of the most performance improving techniques in modern 3D engines... Also, now that you've started creating some form of very basic rendering pipeline can we expect some more advanced shader related stuff that goes beyond directional lighting and handling opacity? I've written (and sold) a lot of custom written shaders for unity in the past and I'd love to see my area of expertise being implemented by the pixel game engine eventually :)

Wow dang your so good at this! 👍👍😆😁

You are just awesome.

Grand Crime Jario - the plumber initiative. 😀

Fantastic sir. Really appreciate the time, creativity and thoughtfulness in all your programming videos. Have you thought about coving game math again?

great video great channel

Amazing as usual

Nice Video!

Woah this looks good

Your videos are fantastic. You are high energy and very explanatory. I've noticed though, that your CMD is showing 150 or so frames per second, but I'm only seeing 30 frames per second on the youtube video. Are you able to screen record at 60 frames per second with your current computer?

Dude where were you when I was in art school for game design?! hell yah thumbs way up bro. I gotta try this myself. any suggestions on an open source compiler? last one I tried was loaded with bugs and constantly crashed.

Hey, keep up the amazing work! I'm a junior game dev by trade and your videos inspire me to program more hobby projects 😄

Great. You are just great and I love your videos. When the second part will be available?

David, all is good by now mate ? This new awesome game of yours reminds me of Sega's "Thunder blade" game, version CPC....do you remember that title ? It was such a big hit on its day even more at arcade games salons. Quite amazing a tutorial again you uploaded.

Awesome! 😎

very good video!

You're brilliant!

Rotating cubes are so common in 3D engines it seems, that every Unity demo/talk uses them :)

Hello, javid! Im really excited for this series. As someone who lacks formal education in computer science but loves practicing game design I have scoured programming content on and offline looking for a foundation. Your prioritization of functionality before nuance has made it easier for me to contextualize what you're doing in c++, it's very helpful! I've put cumulatively almost a hundred hours into learning about programming in general and game development with c++ but i feel like i'm only encroaching on intuitively recognizing syntax, the structure of, and general methods of development. Do you have any comment on the scale and curve of programming, or resources I should be using?

GREAT video!!

Hi man you're really skilled and obviously very passionate about this stuff which I appreciate as a viewer and aspirant of programming. I'd like to ask you; when (how long time ago) did you get in to programming and when do you think was your breakthrough in terms of passion and drive?

You are great

Very Good, ... what is your development tool? visual studio? what version? and what other tools you use for coding with c or c++?

I could adapt this to my virtual world!

Thank you so much for your videos, they are exceptional. Any idea why my textures render black? If I do the cube, its fine, but as soon as i apply a texture, everything is black...

Hi! What's the name of the software you use to create your sprites? (With the icon like a purple polygon)

Looks like a gta 1 inspired game or something like that realy awesome work 👍🏻 i am currently working on a 2d engine in java

Very good video! Do you have a CS degree or are you self taught?

When you write on the virtual paper with your virtual pens, what font are you using? It looks like MS Comic Sans (or is it Comic Sans MS?)

You are the Monster.

Top tier game title 😁

You could improve the road selection logic quite a bit. Just assign top, right, bottom, and left to individual bits of a byte and then organize the sprites in the array based on the integer value of that byte. For example, the top and right being roads could be encoded as the nybble 0b1100 (0bTRBL) and therefore the 12th element in the road array could be that corner. That would drastically reduce the number of conditions required to detect the road texture to use.

Waiting for part 2

Wow, Power of c++💪

What's the image editor you use? That one with pink triangle aperture icon. Looks like PS, but is not.
