Take a shot every time jdh starts a game from scratch

[onlysmiles]

Honestly, the idea of enemies being able to light their loot drops on fire before they die is really funny ngl

[ViktorSarge]

Dude. You make it look reasonable and almost easy implementing things from scratch in C. That's a feat in and of itself.

[btarg]

Writing network code without libraries looks incredibly complex. Love every devlog! I really admire the dedication to the bit with using no libraries even when it's an active hinderance lol

[clintonhawkins]

I think the flaming coin bug should definitely stay!

[HisVirusness]

Don't feel bad about starting a project, getting so far that it's almost complete, and then getting sidetracked and starting something new. It happens to the best of us.

I absolutely love your approach to game dev. Whenever i feel burned out from working on a project. I just watch your videos for motivation. Splendid work as always ❤

[danielgysi]

The things you did in a week would've taken me at least a couple months. Your talent and work ethic are amazing

[spaghettiking]

9:31 Wtf, don't just say you casually made the entire UI look that good in half an afternoon! This is incredible, I can barely make so much as a menu that works, let alone something this pretty.

[justinj]

Watching Dani make games then watching JDH make games is actually the funniest juxtaposition ever

[lukasnick]

it is so impressive how you manage to pull off programming a working multiplayer game in such a short time!! I really admire your work!!:)

[spluf]

i never comment on videos but holy moly man ! you covered a good chunk of topics from 2 courses which i had this semester in a 1 week, gracefully, from scratch and made it look easy !! i know how much i struggled when understanding packets (we wrote a program for processing, NAT translation and portforwarding) but seeing you do it from 0, make everything multithreaded and not drop packets from host to player is insane, well done :)

[hedwigs]

1 week? Good lord that's very impressive good job man

[Trebrehq]

Man, your channel is GROSSLY underrated

[vitao]

The monster loot catching on fire is some real dwarf fortress material. Great video and project as always!

[skeezixcodejedi]

*drums fingers* *waits around meme*

Hope you've progressed some of your projects and are slowly get rich, but we await your wonderful brand of video :)

[Baaqel]

The speed of light is unknown in 1 direction, at 7:00 the diagram shows that it takes 100ms to travel to the server and 100ms back to client. Theoretically it is equally as possible that it could take 199ms to send to the server and 1ms to send it back, or any numbers that add to 200ms. Just think it’s kinda interesting and wanted to share

[btarg]

FINALLY! been waiting for another video forever!

[lilium]

The concept of sending the player position directly to the server is also how Minecraft handles multiplayer. The way they (try to) prevent hacking is by only checking a few edge cases on the server side to prevent obvious cheats, like if the distance between the old and new position is too big, you get sent back, or if your vertical speed is 0 for too long even though you're not standing on a block, you get kicked out.

[goddtriffin]

Building from scratch like this honestly feels more sane than using libraries. It really doesn’t have to get any more complex than using send() and recv().
