Update A Simple Game - Githubissues

raeleus commented 2 months ago

This PR updates the "A Simple Game" tutorial to reflect the recent changes in project setup app and makes it a lot easier for beginners to follow. It's a complete rewrite featuring new assets, methodologies, and even has a live demo. The goal is to encourage new users to use good practices from the beginning. This will serve as the foundation for revisions to "Extending the Simple Game" and other future tutorials.

We now have the rights to all the included assets, so there is no need to link licensed, external sources. I drew the images, recorded the drop sound, and paid a musician for the music.
I want the live demo to be 800x500, but I couldn't quite figure out how to do that. It looks slightly ugly from scaling.
My wife is not a programmer. She was able to follow this tutorial on her own without my intervention. This contrasts with the previous version she tried before. She was really stuck on that one.
I think it's about as long as the previous version. I'd really prefer to have it split on multiple pages, but I think it's fine as is for now.

Please test this tutorial and give me your thoughts. I aim to make a video on this tutorial in October. Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone for the reviews! This was really helpful. I'll leave this up for a little bit longer to see if anyone wants to comment on the latest changes, but I think it's in really good shape!

Okay, it's up folks. If any other tweaks are needed, I'll just modify the page directly. Thanks everyone!
