Devlog #16 I shall build a web app for my game, to exchange games, for a dashboard + highscore table. Elixir + Phoenix are the tools for the web app. To refresh my knowledge, I solved the first five puzzles of Advent of Code in an Elixir Livebook - great fun! #Elixir #Phoenix adventofcode.com

Devlog #15 Found back into the Godot version of Jumptix. It took me some time to find the right motivation to continue. Built first animations: when the player is hit by a bullet, when the player collects rewards. #Jumptix #Godot

Hi everyone! We’re almost at the end of the year - at least at the time of recording this video—which means we still have time for one more broken-screen effect. This time, it will be a simulation of an LCD monitor that has suffered some sort of internal malfunction. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTwP...

Devlog #15 It's really fun to implement physics with C++ - but it takes a lot of time. As I want to make a game, and as I am much more productive with Godot, I switch priority to develop Jumptix with Godot, and work on the C++ version later. #Godot #C++ #GameDev

Devlog #14 Collision detection of rectangles is easy, collision resolution much harder. Made a debug mode to see collider shapes. It is tedious to find good parameters for dragging and deceleration. #C++ #SDL3 #Platformer

021

ulrivo @ulrivo.itch.io · 08/12/2025

Devlog #13 I started to implement two subclasses of Entity: Player and Tile which hold different components. First task: collision detection and resolution. #C++ #SDL #EntityComponent

051

ulrivo @ulrivo.itch.io · 08/12/2025

Devlog #12 There is a base class Entity with the same virtual functions as components plus more virtual functions like handleCommand, handleCollision. And there are template functions for the component management: addComponent<Type>, getComponent<Type>, removeCompenent.

020

ulrivo @ulrivo.itch.io · 08/12/2025

Devlog #11 Now there is a base class component with three virtual functions, to handle events, to update the state of the component for every tick, and to render the component. And I have some specific component subclasses: image, input, transform, physics, collision with properties and methods.

Devlog #10 In the second half of November I started to implement component classes like transform, physics, image, input etc. for different entities (i. e. game objects) like player, tile, enemy, trap etc. I found a good tutorial by StudyPlan.dev #C++ #GameDev www.studyplan.dev/sdl2

ulrivo @ulrivo.itch.io · 05/12/2025

Devlog #9 I need a structure, a composable architecture to implement properties and methods for the game objects. I expect no performance problems and wont need arrays of systems for a good pre-caching. So, a simple EC-System should be good enough and easier to implement. #C++ #GameDev #ECS

0103

ulrivo @ulrivo.itch.io · 04/12/2025

Devlog #8 Or should I implement my own ECS-System? There is a cool tutorial by Gustavo Pezzi for the development of your own game engine. I think that I dont need an ECS-System for my game Jumptix. A simpler EC-System should be sufficient. #C++ #SDL #ECS #GameEngine pikuma.com/courses/cpp-...

Devlog #7 I need more structure for the GameObject. Do I need an Entity-Component-System (ECS) library? Something like entt or Flecs? Or more lightweight like ecs.hpp? #C++ #SDL #ECS github.com/skypjack/entt

ulrivo @ulrivo.itch.io · 02/12/2025

Devlog #6 In the beginning of November, I started to refactor the program. Implemented classes like App, Game, Scene, and a class GameObject with subclasses Player, Tile, Enemy, Trap, Reward. Lots of properties and methods for movement, collision, animation. Very clumsy. #C++ #SDL

Devlog #5 I finished with a platformer from the video by constref, which is really great from an educational perspective, with animations, physics, collisions, enemies and bullets.... but the program structure is a mess: 1000 lines of code and a long game loop update. #C++ #SDL3

Devlog #3 In the end of October, I learned SDL3 and built a small platformer program. I like the concept of the three functions without a main-function: SDL_AppResult init(); void processEvent(SDL_Event* event); SDL_AppResult iterate(); #C++ #SDL3 wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/FrontPage

Devlog #1 I couldn’t resist: after making good progress with my new game Jumptix using Godot, I could not resist to think about an implementation of Jumptix in C++ and SDL3. From the aspect of effectiveness this is a poor decision. But it would be cool…. #Godot #Jumptix #C++ #SDL3
