This is my second attempt to start the course, and will be taking the courses in order.
For structure purposes.
Slow and Steady this time!
That’s generally a good idea. I think you’ll do great!
I share that same idea… for me its my second time as well and I hope to start at part 1 and follow the instructors path…
I really hope this go around will be easier to follow along… and that it ends up with me knowing all the triggers that we cover doing this. I still remember last time feeling as if I did not grasp how to use what we made! I am an old man tho (retired computer analyst, old school programmer from early 80’s) Things have changed a lot and I still enjoy learning game programming.
I would really like to see a list of ALL the data that our game will manage in one LONG list, because after all DATA is king!
For myself after working computers for over 40 years – having a MAP of all data that will be tracked at the start would help me a great deal because I would study that list and the way it is sub divided; after all DATA is handled in many different ways!
Knowing what data to collect when is very important to me,
Brain I wonder if you guys have been asked this before.
If it is at all possible can i get a list of the datasets that we will be covering.
I have learned a great deal from gameDev and want to continue learning from them because they do a great job!
If we were in the business world I would ask what tables of data are we going to make?
then I would ask what properties are we tracking in each table?
and finally i would ask what relationships are there between tables?
Thanks in advance as I realize that this is a BIG request.

I totally get what you are saying, I am over 50 and like you been in the IT industry for all of my career. Never a programmer just the odd Unix shell scripting for admin tasks etc etc. This time around I am planning on drawing my own UML diagram. As this I hope will help me better understand the overall relationship and I hope will allow me to see what we are aiming for. And of course a better understanding. I too hope that the Gamedev team can provide there version, as I am sure they must of done an FDS.
I never started the second run through when I posted this due to various reasons, but as I got notified of your reply to the thread I was setting up the Project again to start my run through of now all four courses. So must be fate that someone else was thinking the same as me an posted at the exact time I was setting up. So had to reply.
Good luck with your second time through
Hmmm… it’s not something I’ve seen requested, but I’ll see if I can put a list together this weekend.
I originally funded this course on Kickstarter but never got around actually doing it.
Kudos for the new structure.
I am also retaking this course. I was starting this after the 3D course 2 years ago but off myself to learn other things. I pick up basic modeling, math and shader.
