I am new to game development, what do I need to know? [closed]
- by farmdve
I am unsure if this question is a duplicate, I hope it isn't.
Are there any resources on the terminology when doing game development?
Because, even if you tell me to learn some graphics API, how would I understand the things it does, if I am not well into the terminology(voxel,mesh,polygon,shading).
What about the math that is involved in the game(geometry) or the concept of the gravity,collision detection in the game and their respective maths?
I am very bad at math, never was good, because I have ADHD, but I won't give up just yet.
I look at a game, and I see "textures", but how am I walking on them, how do they take substance so I don't fall off of them? And depth?
This is what I need information about, not just a link to a library like SDL(which I have compiled under MinGW and MinGW-W64) and tell me to learn it and the cliché answer "start simple/small".
I hope the question(s) are not too vague.
