Let’s Make: Dangerous Dave
- gitgud 7y agoWow great tutorial! It might just be me, but wouldn't it be more intuitive to start with the Diagram of the "game loop", it's seems easier to understand the program that way.
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoAs someone who isn't a game developer but has dabbled, I think introducing the concept of the "game loop" as early as possible would definitely be beneficial.
- jansan 7y agoI have actually never heard of the game before, but the name "Dangerous Dave" rang a bell: https://youtu.be/ULdEynOA9Qg?t=197 https://youtu.be/ULdEynOA9Qg?t=197
- _pmf_ 7y agoNot to be confused with Rick Dangerous, which is the inspiration for Spelunky.
- mwexler 7y agoNot to be confused with "Super Dave" Osborne, who passed away earlier in 2019. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Dave_Osborne https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Dave_Osborne
- vardump 7y agoI was actually thinking this would be about Rick Dangerous renamed for copyright reasons. I'd love to play slightly modernized Rick Dangerous with some new episodes. Maybe I'll need to check out the Spelunky thing. :-)
- taneq 7y agoI dunno about new episodes but on the off chance you don't already know about it, XRick (https://www.xrick.net/ https://www.xrick.net/) has been around for donkeys' years.
- disko 7y agoHa, nice! Played this to death in my young years :) Also: Shooting Gallery...
- pavel_lishin 7y agoI think I actually played Haunted Mansion at a party my dad took me to when I was super little; I rediscovered Dangerous Dave later. Never did get past the "outdoor" level...
- strikelaserclaw 7y agoFirst game i ever played, i wouldn't get off the computer till i finished it, good times.
