On Losing Control...

I'm silent contemplating creating an Android game (or fifty-fifty but a quick "Hello, World!" to acquire my feet wet) to endeavor out on my Kindle Fire. If I acquire a piddling to a greater extent than fourth dimension I powerfulness fifty-fifty start that tonight. But a calendar month or together with thus agone I bought the e-book Unreal Development Kit Game Programming amongst UnrealScript: Beginner's Guide (which yes, I am reading on the Fire) to acquire a experience for UDK UnrealScript programming. At first, I was thinking it's pretty cool. I mean, y'all acquire to larn almost roughly of the classes inwards UDK together with inwards a affair of minutes y'all tin convey an Unreal-style game upwards together with running. What I'm struggling with, however... is what feels similar a amount loss of control.

With XNA development, where I had to create everything, I could create just that: but almost anything. Of course, the powerfulness to create anything came at a heavy price: lots of complex or ground-breaking code amongst minimal assistance from our favorite search engines. I silent shout out back the horror that was getting the simplest model animations to last inwards XNA 3.1 because of the lack of animation back upwards out-of-the-box. But I digress.

I but convey to say, inwards this as-yet unfamiliar basis of UDK UnrealScript programming it feels weird writing script "classes" together with non having amount command over how things work. But perchance I but haven't learned plenty yet. I convey solely completed almost 40% of the majority anyway. We'll run across where that leads, but for forthwith I start 1 time to a greater extent than at the outset of every programmer's journey.... Hello, World!
