Creating my first game


So this is my first game, as well as my first devlog.

I always liked videogames and more recently I decided that maybe I should give a try at developing my own games. After being stuck in tutorial hell I decided to try the 20 Games Challenge, and here I am, with game number 1: Flappy Bird! Except this time it's a Panda the one that jumps around.

I have some background coding in different languages but saying that this wasn't a challenge would be lying. I understood  the logic well enough but some of its implementation...was something else.

At first I decided that the panda would be still, the world would move around and so I coded the whole thing accordingly, having special trouble with the moving and respawning bamboos. Then I decided to add a parallax background but, oh surprise, I found out it only worked if the panda was moving so I had to restart my logic and work accordingly.

One thing that took its time was making the infinite floor, I couldn't wrap my head at first at making it respawn, I tried doing it parallax as well which worked fine except it didn't replicate collisions.

All in all this was a wonderful experience and I'd love to get on the following games on the challenge!
