This is the book for the code-it-yourself game my RPG was based on. It's written for BASIC but it helped with explaining certain concepts. The main thing for me was that it really helped me understand how to code a randomly-generated map. Just scroll down to the second half, as the first just talks about the genre.

Might as well do some self promo in this regard. I have a community resource for anyone interested in making shmups, and it's almost entirely design focused, which means it'll translate to FUZE easily. Theres more coming soon too, so this should prove to be a helpful resource over time:

Here’s an introduction to vector maths for games. Vectors are the {x,y,z} things for storing positions and speeds and stuff. Lots of useful stuff in here https://www.gamedev.net/tutorials/programming/math-and-physics/practical-use-of-vector-math-in-games-r2968/

Here is a nice simple 3rd person camera for 3d stuff. Again, it’s not Fuze specific, but it’s easy enough to use. I just basically copypasted (with very slight changes) the ’move character relative to camera position’ bit for my project, and it worked!

Here’s a fun one if anyone wants to give it a try - how to make shadows and line-of-sight in 2D :)
-
That’s a great article! I was actually toying with doing something similar for the game jam, but I wasn’t sure I could finish it in time.
I will definitely try this out in a future game!

Love that effect but I scrolled down to the first maths bit and nope.. I'll pass!
hopefully some people will make some fuze games using it. -
Ever wanted to make an old-school racer like Hang-On or Outrun? Well, you’ll get a good start here: http://www.extentofthejam.com/pseudo/
EDIT: here it is explained more fully and with more diagrams. If you were put off by the maths in the first one, have a look at this: https://codeincomplete.com/articles/javascript-racer-v1-straight/

@toxibunny thanks for this i did try a while ago maybe another bash at it in the near future
-
Another great find, @toxibunny ! After reading the articles, I feel the urge to make an Outrun game!
Maybe one day...

@waldron very inspiring - like it
21:33 "dream no small dreams" "go big or go home" -> additional interpretation: its ok to start many WIPs just because it could be cool ;-)
29:02 "a game has a finite amount of resources" -> oh yeah, free-time, length of the night, he suggest to watch the scope and use "modular" principle: re-use wherever possible -

"An experimental game where you rewrite bread and it's sort of a parody."
Haha, what does that even mean. -
Idek lol it is random to generate ideas and is a true madness of silly ideas
-
Rewrite bread huh?
