| Jun 22, 2011 at 15:10 | comment | added | user1430 | On the writing an engine subject, I've written this article which contains my thoughts. The tl;dr version is that you should build your engine by writing multiple games and refactoring out/reusing the appropriate aspects of each. That's how you build a good engine, not by following some "engine tutorial" (most of which are complete drivel, so beware when searching the internet). | |
| Jun 22, 2011 at 15:07 | comment | added | blissfreak | Thank you, your response was truly a blessing. As far as the "not invented here" syndrome: are you referring to when a programmer has the urge to just code everything out, regardless of whether or not it's already been done? The mean reason why I want to build a game engine is partly because of that, but also because I really want to learn how to code something complex, even if it sucks in the end. I'll probably go with C/C++. I've read C code before, and haven't had much problem understanding it, so I think I'll be ok in that regards. | |
