[HTML5][Programmer] Developer in search of social interaction

I'm searching for a team or single human to collaborate, create games for itch.io and other platforms together, motivate each other, have conversations.

The main problem of single developer is there's no team work, no collaboration and usually it's not very fun to make games and throw them away as no one needs them. To solve this problem, i want to create team or join existing one.

My skills are:

C++ (MinGW and CodeBlocks to make SFML games)
HTML5 (PhaserJs, maybe pure canvas, ThreeJs)
Python 3 for data gathering
Lua

My skills are NOT:

Unity, Unreal Engine 4 or other huge engines (my hardware is slow for it)
Visual Studio
Social communication (and i'm trying to work on it)

I'd like to meet new people, speak, listen, read, write, have fun making games and maybe even selling it. That's friendship i'm searching for and willing to give.

Well howdy there, pal. If it's social interaction you seek, I'm the one you need. I'm basically always online and am the type of person who replies to messages immediately and will keep on talking for as long as you want. I'm decent at coming up with ideas, motivating people and giving constructive criticism.

However, if it's game development assistance you desire, saying I'm adequate would make me a liar. I don't have many skills and the ones that I do have are completely useless for your project.

Overall, there may be no benefit to starting a wireless connection with me that would help you make your game faster/overall better, but if it's social comfort you want, I hope you were satisfied by this rant. I'll await for your response, but no matter what you choose, it'll be the right thing.

Hi I'm also looking for a programmer to make cool games. And quietly chat to advance. Interested? I have bases in C ++ and I would like to try the SFML.

It looks like you're programmer too if you work with C++ and SFML. Do you want to do some collaborative programming or maybe you will draw art or create music and sounds for games? Feel free to follow one of SFML official tutorials, i would recommend codeblocks one as this is probably the only way to work in same IDE and on same project with me (Visual Studio is too big for my hard drive unfortunately).

Basically, you

create empty project
open project preferences
set search directories for compiler to SFML's include folder
set search directories for linker to SFML's dlls (dont forget to copy openal32.dll from extlibs folder in SFML directory)
set list of dlls to link (i usually link every dll from SFML folder)
and here you're ready to compile and run your project

As this plan is very abstract, i still recommend official SFML tutorials.

Actually, there is another option - to write CMakeLists.txt script yourself, like it's done with SFML itself, but it's harder to do.

Hi,
I have only some base in c ++ and I tried the book SFML game development but I will never have the speed and the automatisms of a real programmer.

My strength is rather in the ideas of games (playability, design, etc ...). I wish like you, agree on a project, develop it well and see what happens next. (Always by concerting and taking time together to make the game really a pleasure for the user).

We're trying to continue the conversation by email?
