I Tried to Make Star Wars Battlefront II in JavaScript 

Where did you get that space HDRI/cubemap?

no thanks

wowowoowowow

As they say, knowledge is power.

It's not much of a leap to go from node programming to code, if you're not dyslexic

we need

It'd be one entire course just for all that physics black magic.

pleas take my money

second that

Id buy it too. You should really consider this.

Please

That would be interesting 🧐

C# and JS, sounds hard

@@ivanraulsanchezdiaz7499 use wasm

oh it'll be cool

So keep doing everything in js is what I'm hearing?

In today's world where you can write the more demanding parts in C++/Rust and the rest of it in JS/typed JS why wouldn't you?

Learner here trying to understand- is there a reason why it shouldn't be done? Performance related reason?

@@jimmychoong3014 Historically JS has been a slow language, that's been turning around a lot thanks to work from teams like the V8 team. As mentioned, you can develop parts in other languages (like Rust/C++), or just do the whole thing in JS, or just use Unity at this point. Everything has it's tradeoffs. JS tends to be easier and more forgiving than something like C++, although not as performant. See one of my last videos for a bit of a comparison. If you're interested in my background, I was a game developer for about 10 years, often led optimization on major titles, and was hired at Google for optimization, all C++. These videos are fun because they break the mould a bit, showing that complex games can be built without much trouble in languages you thought weren't capable of it. Ultimately it's up to you to decide what tradeoffs you're willing to live with.

@@simondev758 JS has one thing going for it that the others don't: It's going to be huge. I think it's pretty plausible that web technology are going to take over 99% of graphical applications. The industry as a whole is moving away from local workstations, and towards cloud based applications that work 100% in the browser. MS Office will become browser based. VS Code runs in Chromium. Discord rund in Chromium. Slack runs in Chromium. Three.js ist just the start of 3d, there will be more & better tools. WASM will bring performant code & a diverse set of compiler front ends to the platform - C, C++, Java, Haskell, OCaml just through llvm alone. And JavaScript will be at the center of it. Modern JavaScript is pretty nice to write with. Transpilers for jsx & reason bring gui features to js that most other languages are still far away from aquiring. There is actually a react port of three.js in fact, if you're interested, called react thee fiber. Blew my mind how well it works. Haven't decided on weather it's good for game programming yet, but at the very least it expands the design space for regular websites to the entire world of 3d. You can literally mix & match html & three.js as you wish, 3d positioning and projection all work the way you'd intuitively expect them to. I'm pretty sure 5, 10 years from now, Windows will be dead, everything will be linux or macosx, but no one will notice because you'll work exclusively from your cloud storage via a fully integrated web browser. File systems will be more intuitive, and most importantly: all front end code will be built using current web technologies.

Any similar channels?

Sebastian Lague is great!

Yeah that one really sticks with you.

@@simondev758 just like a harpoon would.

Zing!

Sweet, thanks!

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised with how three.js integrated that.

Sound design has always been disregarded in game design, erroneously I think. Look at every one of the most revered games in video game history, ALL of them, with almost no exceptions, have exceptional OST's, SFX, and ambient immersion.

Awesome, thanks!

I miss that show.

Ooh thanks, I'll give that a try. Didn't even know there was a python console.

Codes coming, I don't work much on these videos/projects so it's whenever I have a spare moment. I'll upload the code when I get a chance to clean it up a bit.

@@simondev758 Totally understand that. Thanks for the reply, man!

@@simondev758 tried to play it but opened and nothing showed???? why doesnt the index display

It'd be like the old days of IBM pc vs macintosh

Great ideas, there's so many ways to approach it.

His videos are awesome, love the quality of those videos. I have a series on procedural planets too. I kinda go in a slightly different direction than Sebastian, overall goal is to one day make a JS version of No Man's Sky, but I get sidetracked with other projects like this one :)

Laziness :(

@@simondev758 :(

3rd version next year!

@@simondev758 :>

Working on my house mostly (see Instagram), these videos are my side projects.

Thank you so much!

Sweet, useful for next time.

Yeah I keep forgetting to upload it, anytime I sit down I have all these ideas and forget about stuff like that.

A bit, why?

It would be nice if you could explain some of the details of how this works. I've seen 2 implementations with three js on github, but they look very confusing

they've just released UE5. Mb looking into that instead might be a good idea

@@tomm.4447 fight the temptation for now. UE5 still has bugs where UE4 doesn’t. If you jump into learning UE4 now, by the time UE5 gets a full release you’ll be fully prepared to take advantage of what it has to offer, and learn the new features

@@tylerclinton3475 fair point. Well decide for yourself OP

Hah was wondering if anybody would catch those.

It's a lot easier if you understand the math. I have a math course that covers more than what you need to make games.

@@simondev758 Thank you very much!
