How Valorant was made pt.2

As i mentioned in my previous post Valorant was made with the coding language c++ and in the unreal engine developed by epic games. As you likely know valorant is one of the most popular games out there right now and you can learn how to make a game like this as well! Thanks to programming courses and engine like unreal engine

With this engine you can design characters and code for your very own game. the developers of valorant worked countless hours making the designs and outlines of all 11 characters in valorant phoenix, sova, breach, raze, reyna, jett, brimstone, omen, sage, cypher, and viper. It took lots of time to come up with the final designs in unreal engine.

The developers next task was to create voice lines for each character and then finding people to fill these roles. For phoenix they chose Afolabi Alli, For Brimstone they chose Steve Blum, For Viper they chose Ashly Burch, For Cypher they chose Nabil Eluoahabi, For Omen they chose Jason Marnocha, For Breach they chose David Menkin, For Raze they chose Carolina Ravassa, For Sova they chose Aaron Vodovoz, For Jett they chose Shannon Williams, For Sage they chose Naomi Yang, And Finally for Reyna they chose Carolina Ravassa once again.

Valorant was made with C++ which is the same code/language that Minecraft was made in this language is very common for game developers and Valorant is no different. Valorant was made in unreal engine which was developed by epic games which is the team who made Fortnite.

I was inspired to start learning C++ with unreal engine after working for some time with javascript and learning that Valorant was made in C++ as well as minecraft which are and forever will be 2 of my all time favorite games.

in unreal engine there are lots of features and amazing tips and tools that you can use to make your very own amazing game. There are 2 options for your game a free game that you can make and you make no money on it or a game where you pay epic games 5% of your profits.

How School will be for everyone in August

Now I know I talked about how school will be a little while ago but that was about how we will go back this blog will be about how kids will likely do in their learning. It is very likely that kids will need lots of refreshers on basic things because they will have done very little learning during the summer and as such kids will likely have a hard time adjusting to learning and school. It will also be difficult for most kids to get even sub par grades because school feels so foreign to them after doing basically 0 learning for about 6 months.

Now I know this generally happens every summer but it will be especially bad this year because kids are used to being able to do whatever they want at home. and this is of no fault of their own or their parents because usually they are totally free at home other than homework but having to actually go to online zoom classes and take tests and actually learn at home is not what they were taught throughout their lives so it will be difficult to adjust. Another prime example of this is how poorly kids did this year in their final quarter in some studies they estimate kids average GPA went from a 3.5 to as low as a 2.0 just because they did not want to try and schools made the foolish decision to lower the grade you need to fail. At my school you need below a 30% to fail but they made it easier on students and made it 20% so instead of a low F u need an F- to fail.

Zoom Like a Pro | 2020-03-30 | Walls & Ceilings

Finally one thing that schools must do if they want to continue SUCCESSFUL online learning they must make zoom lessons/meetings mandatory. Because from personal experience I know that at least 60% of the kids in my class didn’t go to a single zoom meeting because the schools specified that they were not mandatory. Which means they didn’t have to attend the lessons or learn anything because they were not required to. And these are middle schooler’s if they don’t have to go to school they wont they aren’t mature enough to make those types of decisions.

Guide for JavaScript beginners

As you may or may not know I have just started learning java script and I figured that many people want to learn java script but they are not exactly sure about how they should start and where. So I have compiled a guide on some of the best places to begin your java script journey. But without any further ado lets get started.

Khan Academy

Now I know many of you have heard of Khan Academy as it is a great source for online learning but you may not know that they have an excellent course for beginners-advanced javascripters. (I am not sure that is a word but I don’t really mind) These courses are great and each section specializes in certain aspects. The first section is mostly about drawing and beginning to animate things you create. The second section focuses mostly on game development and more advanced lines/pieces of code. And the final section is about very advanced movement and adding sounds and other features to make your java script code look more professional

Free Code Camp

Free Code Camp is kind of similar to Khan Academy because well it is free and also it has a similar structure to Khan Academy as it starts with the basics of drawing and animation and it works its way up to more advanced things like actual game design and more advanced animations as well as a little bit of web design. One other benefit of free code camp is the fact that they not only offer courses in javascript they offer courses in html and many other coding languages.

Thats it for this blog postI hope you learned about these great free coding programs and make sure to check out my YT channel @Drago gaming link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrlNUqQVBxLIbdltHQBdcYg?view_as=subscriber

The second wave of the corona virus

Now some people may know but plagues like the corona virus come in waves and beginning around mid march this year until about mid June was the first wave of the corona virus because it was the period of time where there was basically a lockdown across the globe and people did not leave their homes. But now as we enter into July things are opening up once again and the cases of corona virus keep spiking (at the time of writing this there are 10, 972, 829 confirmed corona virus cases globally). With this second wave there will be a spike in Cases as kids will likely go back to school which could cause lots of problems

Once this spike occurs schools and public areas will likely be shut down and we will go back into a lock down state where people will have to quarantine themselves once again which will likely cause lots of frustration for people as they had just been free for the duration of summer but they are once again forced to go into quarantine because there was almost no social distancing during the spike as people had just come out of quarantine and they have little care about rules after seeing friends or family for the first time in 6 months

The economy will also crash once again and companies will likely have to let go of some more people or cut salaries. And if this happens unemployment and poverty will drastically increase everywhere and as such the entire world will once again go into a chaotic state.

Although this chaos can be prevented quite simpl if the governemnet doe

A new direction for this blog

With this blog I have generally been going in one direction which is scratch as that is the language of coding that I have been the most comfortable with so far but now as I am getting older I am beginning to want to learn and understand new coding languages such as JavaScript and Python but for now I think I’ll start with Java programs and I’ll let you know what editor and software that I will use. And I will be learning with online courses but for beginners I would recommend easier courses on khan academy and other free online sites and obviously my blog. But of course It will take a while for this change to occur as it cannot be instantaneous

How will school be different this fall because of COVID-19

This fall will be a weird one for kids across the globe as school will likely not reopen and online learning will continue but if schools are opened these will likely be the best ways to do it.

#1 1/2 attendance in school

This will mean that 1/2 of the kids that go to the school will go on Monday and Wednesday and the other Half will go on Tuesday and Thursday and any days the kids do not go to school they will have online classes and both groups will have online learning on Fridays.

#2 0 attendance in school

In this type of school the kids will not go to physical school at all they will continue online learning just like in march And the teachers will also be responsible for online meetings and lessons this is likely the safest way for both students and teachers but this will mean that students will be more separated from each other and they will likely not learn as much in school because they will not really be able to communicate with teachers or other people aside from their parents to ask for help.

Streaming Tips and tricks for beginners

First off this is primarily a guide for new streamers not really people who have experience because they will likely already know these things and as such it will not exactly be that useful for them. But anyway lets get started with this list.

#1 ALWAYS check that your mic is working

This is probably one of the most basic mistakes new streamers make they just assume that their mic is working and they start streaming but then when they end the stream or see part of it they realize their mic audio quality is Terrible. So always make sure your mic is working before you start streaming.

#2 make sure you are still recording/live

Sometimes recording software can glitch and this can cause the stream to end abruptly so make sure to check that you are streaming generally with another device that way in case your stream does abruptly stop you can just restart it.

#3 If you are playing a multiplayer game then assemble a party beforehand

This rule is a little more game specific but if you are like me and you stream multiplayer games I would recommend assembling a party beforehand on discord or some other platform where you can all talk as this will make game play more fluid for both you and the audience watching as you will not have to struggle trying to communicate with random teammates.

#4 If you want to ensure that you stay monetizied and u dont want to be distracted while streaming MUTE OUR CHAT other than teamchat obviously

So again this is a basic tip just mute the chat because people can be toxic, they can advertise things, and they can distract you. So all around it is better if you mute chat obviously don’t mute team chat but mute public chat that way you are not distracted.

#5 Always communicate w/ your teammates so that you guys dont make easy to avoid mistakes

Some obvious mistakes at least in bedwars could be placing a bad defense when your teammate was saving for a good one, taking your other teammates kill and or resources and letting the best bridger in your squad bridge.

That’s going to be it for this blog post i hope you enjoyed and check out my Yt channel @ Drago gaming

Best streaming gear if you don’t have a budget

Now this blog post will be similar to my last one as it will cover how to stream most efficiently and with the best gear. But this time the items will have no budget meaning they could range from prices like 0$ to 100$+ so it will be for people who don’t really have a budget. Now without further ado lets get into the list.

#1 Best Mic – Razer Seiren Elite – 159.99$

Just as with the last list we will be starting it off with the best no budget mic for streaming. Now this Mic is an absolute beast as it has extremely high quality and it has excellent sound quality along with a great user friendly interface although for me personally it is too expensive but otherwise this is an excellent choice for a mic ( also there is another version of this mic called the Razer seiren X which is 80$ and it is slightly less advanced but otherwise still a great product 2nd picture)

#2 Best No budget recording Software – Streamlabs OBS Prime – 12-19$ a month

For the best streaming software with no budget I have concluded that it is Streamlabs OBS Prime as it is just an even better version of Streamlabs OBS and the only thing that could beat it would be a better OBS software but there is no pro or prime version of OBS but the next best things is definitely Streamlabs OBS. It includes many special features that can make your stream all around better and it can stream in higher quality as well.

#3 Best no budget Editing Software – Filmora9 – 39.99$ Annual or 69.99$ Lifetime or Annual Bundle plan 99.87$

And Finally the best No budget Editing Software is Filmora 9/pro which has 3 different purchase options each with unique new features including all new editing features including new Animations, sound effects, filters and much much more.

How to Stream well with a 50$ or less budget

This is more of an interesting blog as it is not about coding. But as you may or may not know I recently began streaming and i wanted to figure out what the best option was for me. So as any normal person does i began to scour the internet and I began reading/looking for the best gear to stream with under a 50$ budget. Now I will also be including streaming “gear” that is good if you have a large budget or really no issues with money. Now that that is all said and done lets get to the list

And each list both the budget and non budget list will contain 3 elements: A mic, a streaming software, and an editing software. And I will be posting the No budget list tomorrow

#1 Budget mic – ZaxSound professional cardioid condenser microphone. – 34.99$

This is an excellent microphone for all of your streaming needs and it is at an affordable price. In my opinion I think it’s best feature is the fact that it is EXTREMELY portable and easy to use. And it has lots of ways that it can connect to a device for example it has a USB port as well as an audio jack which will make it more convenient as you can switch between the 2 freely.

#2 Best budget streaming software – OBS or Streamlabs OBS – FREE

Now OBS is known to many people as THE best streaming software especially for high fps or quality games as many other recording software cannot handle the high fps and quality. Now if you can i would recommend using OBS but sometimes with some devices it can have some issues and it can be hard to use so if you do not have any experience recording videos or streams I recommend starting out with Stream labs OBS.

#3 Best editing software – Filmora -FREE

Filmora is honestly a great editing tool and i use it to edit almost all of my videos and on top of that it is free so If i ever wanted to stop using it i would simply uninstall it as u never have to pay for it.
