You guys are getting my point wrong. There are times when source code is needed. There are times when it is not. A smart programmer would determine at the start of the project what is needed, and act on that. An egotisical programmer will just say "I NEED THE SOURCE CODE NO MATTER WHAT!". Especially when it comes to indie…
As for the whole source code/no source code debate, it really depends. There is some software that you really just don't need the source-code for. Or at the very least, you don't actually need to alter the source code. I used to use the Flash IDE a lot. But I never had the source code for it. The software was primarily…
Maybe for some things, but there are so many things imo that would be easier to write in code than doing it with some kind of visual scripting. I'm just imagining hugely confusing node labyrinths already =) . Programming really isn't THAT hard, basic syntax of a language can be learned pretty fast, especially something…
You aren't building up a code structure, so much as you are manipulating and changing the values of objects. Mainly you create GameObjects, and then apply various code components to them, which handle the game logic. For further specific tweaking and custom behaviors, you have the option of scripting out your own…
Kudos for them! However, for more involved projects, the indie license really isn't enough. Point in fact, my programmer refuses to look at any engine where the source code is not available. Too restricting.
Awesome. If I could find some guys interested in a game I would love to give this a try but I'm only a character artist and can't code or animate etc lol I need to diversify a little :P
He is not egotistical. But we already know we need source code for the things we want to attempt. Which is in part why he has joined development of the Zen Indie Engine so as not only can he put what he needs into it, he knows it inside and out.
How well organised/developed is it? I mean do you have to create the classes yourself organise and program all the game logic. I usually get stuck on that part when I try engines, they usually just provide functions which do things alot better than the lower level way, but you still have to figure out and build up the…
JostVice just told me the news, I'm downloading it after reading the thread. This is great, because anyone who meshes well enough with the software to complete something successful will surely buy a full license. If the unity people are here: Please, disregard this if it's already there (yet to install/register), but:…
im attempting to download but firefox is tellin' me "No suitable nodes are available to serve your request." ... i'll wait a while edit: downloading now, woot!
