Q: how easy is it to get into Unity without programmer skills? can you cobble stuff together click-drag Lego style with flow charts etc or do you actually need to write a code?

you can get stuff like Playmaker, and there's a section on the Asset Store for visual/flow chart coding. that being said, C# isn't super hard to get into, and you can learn a lot by tinkering with the standard assets and example projects.

Unity doesn't have a hypergraph. Maya has a hypergraph and it would be really useful in unity.


Unity requires some coding, im pretty sure you want be able to get far at all without coding.


Maya is a bunch of visual node connecting. imo

ok, i think i know what i want to make

i want to make a 2d water renderer. I've been watcing blender vids on how fluids work and I keep wondering how the mesh is being built and I came up with an idea I want to try.

So here it is, im coding stuff
-get a renderer and a physics engine (i may use libgdx with box2d or more likely unity)
-throw a bunch of cubes out as particles in an unseen simulation
-use the locaton of those cubes to run a marching cubes algorithm and draw that to a tex2d
-show the text 2d on the screen


And BAM! I think i have a 2d water simluator. I think I can do this in a weekend.

I fired up unity last night and start drawing pixels on a texture that was shown on a screen programatically.

Gonna work on the liquid thing I talked about. This was a first step - technical drawing poo poo. Feelin good

you can try to climb over short walls but the character just grunts and scrabbles with his feet for a while, then falls down

Cool, I created a github repo for my iso liquid project. First time ive done that, got all the unity settings seutp right and the ignore file right. Pulled it down to another computer and it started working.

Right now, the thing only tracks the onscreen physics box and draws a line on the 2d gui texture in real time to track it.

Next I'm going to subdivide the texture represented by an array of booleans, then randomly flip them on and off and run marching squares on it. After that, I'll use the physics objects to flip the booleans in the array.

there isn't much to show when writing an IF game

basically my idea is taking the tech bubble ideas to their logical extreme and writing a polemic in a sort of parody of a mind forever voyaging

the frame story is your friend invented a VR helmet that puts you in the future. since he is a techbro libertarian, the future is the tech bubel future and he wants to prove to you that tech libertarianism works

you take an uber to work which gets in a high speed chase after running a toll and you have to escape

you get fired from your job because you got a one-star rating on peeple after they nearly run you over with a bicycle on the sidewalk

a drone with a camera flashes in your face constantly until you smash it as the solution to a puzzle and use its parts to solve another puzzle

you see pinkertons beating union organizers outside a clothing store

that kind of thing
