My Subscriber Challenged Me To Make A Game...
One of my subscribers commented a challenge for me. I decided to take it on and try to make a territorial game like they asked. At first, I thought it would be easy, but it actually was pretty difficult. I had to optimise the game many times to prevent lag caused by setting hundreds of pixels per second.
Feel free to leave a comment challenging me and I might try it in an other video ! I'd love to make more videos interacting with my subscribers. If you want, try to suggest something interesting so it will make a more interesting video, like "try to make a game where the player is a potato". That would be really difficult and interesting haha.
In this video, I show the process of making the game of the challenge and some of the difficulties I faced like the lag. I also showed a bit of the solutions I came up with using cool animations ( I just started doing this, let me know what you think ). The lag was fixed mostly by keeping a list of all the pixels and updating the texture only 10 times per second rather than everytime a territory was expanded and by keeping track of the edges of each territory.
If you are somehow interested in trying the game in this video, you can try it on itch, but it is low quality and there's some bugs :P
