#how to make control decisions in the Java program

How is RPGmaker compared to Unity? Would you recommend it?

I think its difficult to compare RPGMaker to a lot of other game engines. Unity is pretty open ended in what you can make but you gotta know programming, whereas RPGMaker is kinda hard coded to make a very specific type of game very easily and without programming knowledge — the game in question being extremely generic retro JRPGs. If you wanna make something that extends beyond that you are gonna have to mess around a lot with plugins which alter and augment the preexisting structure the engine has in place.

The crazy thing is, RPGMaker (at least MV) is lacking MANY features that it by all means should have. My game doesn’t have a lot of mechanics and was designed around scope in a lot of ways, yet I am legitimately using 70 or so plugins that other people made to make it feel good. Some of those plugins’ functions include -Adding name plates over the characters’ text boxes -Making it so sprites don’t flash in and out when switching -Allowing for ANY kind of complexity in character animations -Giving you any sort of camera control -Hiding combat related UI in the menus. All of this being shit the engine SHOULD support by all means but for whatever reason it just doesn’t

I think if you’re someone who knows a lot about programming, the engine is probably gonna feel kinda bad and itd probably just be easier and less frustrating to build a lot of functionality from the ground up in an engine like Unity, GameMaker, or Godot. If you lack some experience and feel pretty confident that your game can reasonably fit within what the engine is capable of then RPGMaker is probably a good choice. And personally despite the lack of features being frustrating at times, I find myself having a lot of fun with the goofy wraparound method of problem solving you have to use and have found myself making some really cool creative decisions by working within the engine’s limits

It definitely helps a lot to know programming fundamentals either way (I’m not great but I have some experience with Java and C# and I feel like it’s been very helpful with managing project structure) so that’s something I’d recommend looking into either way if you’re not too acquainted

And I’ve mentioned it but again. Since RPGMaker is so limited you definitely DEFINITELY want to plan your project very heavily around scope especially if you don’t have much confidence that you can really delve into JavaScript programming. For example I wouldn’t recommend planning for complex UI - you will fuckin hate yourself for that. And if you’re adding combat you’re gonna wanna be super realistic about it. What I did to plan around scope was play ~10 different RPGMaker games sorta like what I wanted like to be before I started getting too many concrete ideas about what my game would look like so I could get a pretty solid idea of what was doable and mold my plans around that

Also I wanna point out - most tedious, large scope thing about my game is by far the character animations. Once I figured out just how itd work it wasn’t too bad but is still a bit annoying - but know I worked in a very very wraparound way that is way way way more involved than most — or hell, ANY RPGMaker games I’ve seen. It’s doable, can be really worth it if you’re willing to put in the time and effort, and is something I’d be happy to explain if anyone was interested. BUT i feel the need to make it clear that complex animation is very much not at all a baseline functionality of the engine since it might be easy to assume otherwise with how much it’s used in my own game

Apologies if that was long but I love talking about this stuff, and if anyone is interested I am always happy to talk about and answer any questions about my process especially with RPGMaker in mind :D

Good Code is Boring

Daily Blogs 358 - Oct 28th, 12.024

Something I started to notice and think about, is how much most good code is kinda boring.

Clever Code

Go (or "Golang" for SEO friendliness) is my third or fourth programming language that I learned, and it is somewhat a new paradigm for me.

My first language was Java, famous for its Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) paradigms and features. I learned it for game development, which is somewhat okay with Java, and to be honest, I hardly remember how it was. However, I learned from others how much OOP can get out of control and be a nightmare with inheritance inside inheritance inside inheritance.

And then I learned JavaScript after some years... fucking god. But being honest, in the start JS was a blast, and I still think it is a good language... for the browser. If you start to go outside from the standard vanilla JavaScript, things start to be clever. In an engineering view, the ecosystem is really powerful, things such as JSX and all the frameworks that use it, the compilers for Vue and Svelte, and the whole bundling, and splitting, and transpiling of Rollup, ESBuild, Vite and using TypeScript, to compile a language to another, that will have a build process, all of this, for an interpreted language... it is a marvel of engineering, but it is just too much.

Finally, I learned Rust... which I kinda like it. I didn't really make a big project with it, just a small CLI for manipulating markdown, which was nice and when I found a good solution for converting Markdown AST to NPF it was a big hit of dopamine because it was really elegant. However, nowadays, I do feel like it is having the same problems of JavaScript. Macros are a good feature, but end up being the go-to solution when you simply can't make the code "look pretty"; or having to use a library to anything a little more complex; or having to deal with lifetimes. And if you want to do anything a little more complex "the Rust way", you will easily do head to head with a wall of skill-issues. I still love it and its complexity, and for things like compiler and transpilers it feels like a good shot.

Going Go

This year I started to learn Go (or "Golang" for SEO friendliness), and it has being kinda awesome.

Go is kinda like Python in its learning curve, and it is somewhat like C but without all the needing of handling memory and needing to create complex data structured from scratch. And I have never really loved it, but never really hated it, since it is mostly just boring and simple.

There are no macros or magic syntax. No pattern matching on types, since you can just use a switch statement. You don't have to worry a lot about packages, since the standard library will cover you up to 80% of features. If you need a package, you don't need to worry about a centralized registry to upload and the security vulnerability of a single failure point, all packages are just Git repositories that you import and that's it. And no file management, since it just uses the file system for packages and imports.

And it feels like Go pretty much made all the obvious decisions that make sense, and you mostly never question or care about them, because they don't annoy you. The syntax doesn't get into your way. And in the end you just end up comparing to other languages' features, saying to yourself "man... we could save some lines here" knowing damn well it's not worth it. It's boring.

You write code, make your feature be completed in some hours, and compile it with go build. And run the binary, and it's fast.

Going Simple

And writing Go kinda opened a new passion in programming for me.

Coming from JavaScript and Rust really made me be costumed with complexity, and going now to Go really is making me value simplicity and having the less moving parts are possible.

I am becoming more aware from installing dependencies, checking to see their dependencies, to be sure that I'm not putting 100 projects under my own. And when I need something more complex but specific, just copy-and-paste it and put the proper license and notice of it, no need to install a whole project. All other necessities I just write my own version, since most of the time it can be simpler, a learning opportunity, and a better solution for your specific problem. With Go I just need go build to build my project, and when I need JavaScript, I just fucking write it and that's it, no TypeScript (JSDoc covers 99% of the use cases for TS), just write JS for the browser, check if what you're using is supported by modern browsers, and serve them as-is.

Doing this is really opening some opportunities to learn how to implement solutions, instead of just using libraries or cumbersome language features to implement it, since I mostly read from source-code of said libraries and implement the concept myself. Not only this, but this is really making me appreciate more standards and tooling, both from languages and from ecosystem (such as web standards), since I can just follow them and have things work easily with the outside world.

The evolution

And I kinda already feel like this is making me a better developer overhaul. I knew that with an interesting experiment I made.

One of my first actual projects was, of course, a to-do app. I wrote it in Vue using Nuxt, and it was great not-gonna-lie, Nuxt and Vue are awesome frameworks and still one of my favorites, but damn well it was overkill for a to-do app. Looking back... more than 30k lines of code for this app is just too much.

And that's what I thought around the start of this year, which is why I made an experiment, creating a to-do app in just one HTML file, using AlpineJS and PicoCSS.

The file ended up having just 350 files.

How Web Development Companies Choose the Right Tech Stack for Your Project

When starting a web development project, one of the most critical decisions is choosing the right technology stack—the combination of tools, programming languages, frameworks, and databases used to build and run your website or application. A skilled Web Development Company doesn’t just pick trendy tools—they strategically select a tech stack that fits your goals, budget, scalability, and long-term vision.

This decision shapes the performance, security, development speed, and maintainability of your project. Let’s explore how professional web development companies approach tech stack selection—and why it makes all the difference.

1. Understanding Project Requirements

Every project is unique. Before recommending any technologies, a web development company conducts in-depth discovery sessions to understand your:

Business goals

Target audience

Required features

Budget and timeline

Integration needs (CRM, APIs, payments, etc.)

Expected user volume and growth potential

For example, a content-heavy blog needs different tools than a real-time messaging app or an enterprise eCommerce platform.

Why it matters: The right stack should align with the core functionality and complexity of your specific project.

2. Frontend Stack Considerations

The frontend stack determines how your website looks and behaves for users. Agencies typically choose from frameworks and libraries such as:

React.js – Ideal for interactive, high-performance UIs

Vue.js – Lightweight and easy to integrate

Next.js – Server-side rendering and SEO-friendly features

Tailwind CSS or Bootstrap – For fast, responsive styling

The choice depends on user experience requirements, SEO priorities, and how dynamic the interface needs to be.

Why it matters: A responsive, fast-loading frontend increases engagement and improves SEO performance.

3. Backend Stack Considerations

The backend stack powers the logic behind the scenes—data processing, server responses, user authentication, etc. Common choices include:

Node.js – Non-blocking, event-driven, great for scalable applications

Python with Django/Flask – Ideal for fast MVPs and data-heavy platforms

PHP with Laravel – Secure and well-supported, especially for CMS-based sites

Java or .NET – Enterprise-level applications with complex infrastructure

Database decisions (e.g., MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL) are also influenced by the type of data, relationships, and scalability needed.

Why it matters: Backend choices directly impact performance, security, and future extensibility.

4. Scalability and Long-Term Maintenance

A web development company always plans for growth. If you’re building an MVP now but expect to scale to thousands of users, the tech stack must be capable of handling that without requiring a complete rebuild.

This means selecting tools with a strong community, active support, and modular architecture. Headless CMS options, API-first architectures, and microservices are often chosen for their flexibility.

Why it matters: A scalable stack ensures your platform evolves with your business—not against it.

5. Team Expertise and Community Support

An experienced web development agency won’t just chase trends—they choose tools their team is proficient in and that have strong community ecosystems. This means faster development, fewer bugs, and access to trusted libraries and plugins.

Tools with large communities (like React, Laravel, or Node.js) are easier to maintain and integrate with new technologies as they emerge.

Why it matters: Established tools reduce technical debt and development risks.

6. Security and Compliance

Depending on your industry, your tech stack may need to meet specific security standards—HIPAA for healthcare, PCI-DSS for eCommerce, or GDPR for data protection. Developers choose technologies with built-in security features, encryption protocols, and access control layers.

They also avoid stacks with known vulnerabilities or outdated dependencies.

Why it matters: A secure foundation protects your business and user data from the start.

7. Third-Party Integrations and DevOps

Will your project need payment gateways, CRM tools, marketing platforms, or cloud services? The chosen stack must allow easy integration with third-party APIs. In addition, agencies consider DevOps tools for continuous integration, deployment, monitoring, and scaling—often using platforms like Docker, AWS, or Vercel.

Why it matters: A tech stack that plays well with your ecosystem leads to smoother operations and automation.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right tech stack isn’t just about technical specs—it’s about aligning with your business goals, user needs, and growth plans. A trusted Web Development Company brings a strategic, experience-backed approach to this decision, ensuring that your platform is stable, scalable, and ready for the future.

With the right combination of frontend frameworks, backend technologies, databases, and DevOps tools, your project can launch faster, perform better, and adapt more easily over time. Don’t leave your tech stack to chance—build with purpose, and partner with experts who know how to get it right from the start.

We'll navigate through the essential stages of this learning journey, from understanding the fundamentals to building real-world applications. 

Step 1: Setting the Stage

In the first step of your Java programming journey, it's essential to set the stage and create the right environment for learning. Here's how to get started:

Understand the Basics: Get a grasp of what Java is and its wide-ranging applications in software development. This context will motivate your learning.

Explore the Development Environment: Install essential software, such as the Java Development Kit (JDK) for coding and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA for an efficient coding and debugging interface.

Setting up your development environment is crucial because it ensures you have the required tools at your disposal, allowing you to move on to the next steps with confidence.

Step 2: Grasping the Fundamentals

Once your development environment is set up, it's time to delve into the core concepts of Java:

Start with Core Java Concepts: Begin by mastering fundamental concepts like variables, data types, and operators. These are crucial for managing and manipulating data in Java.

Master Control Structures: Learn about control structures, which include loops for repetition and conditionals for decision-making. This makes your code dynamic and responsive.

These fundamental concepts lay the groundwork for more complex Java programming, making it crucial to grasp them thoroughly.

Step 3: Diving into Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

Java is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language, which means it's based on the concept of objects, classes, and the four pillars of OOP: encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction. Here's what you need to know:

Understanding OOP Principles: In Java, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) involves creating classes and objects to represent real-world entities, each with attributes and behaviors. This is fundamental to Java programming.

Exploring Encapsulation: Encapsulation bundles data and methods into classes, enhancing data security and control by hiding internal workings and exposing necessary information.

Understanding Inheritance: Inheritance allows the creation of new classes based on existing ones, promoting code reuse and organization.

Leveraging Polymorphism and Abstraction: Polymorphism treats different class objects as a common superclass, increasing flexibility. Abstraction simplifies complex reality by modeling classes based on essential features, leading to efficient and maintainable Java code.

Mastering OOP in Java is crucial because it forms the foundation for building more complex and structured applications.

Step 4: Practice, Practice, Practice

Programming is a skill that improves with practice. The more you code, the better you become. Here's how to reinforce your Java skills:

Regular Coding Practice: Dedicate time to daily coding practice. Work on Java exercises, small programs, or coding challenges to enhance your knowledge and problem-solving skills.

Online Coding Platforms: Explore websites like LeetCode, HackerRank, and Codecademy. These platforms offer a variety of Java coding challenges, from basic to advanced, to improve your programming skills.

Practicing regularly and tackling coding challenges will help you apply your knowledge, improve your coding speed, and develop effective debugging skills.

Step 5: Building Real-World Applications

While understanding the theory of Java is crucial, applying your knowledge to real-world projects is equally important. Here's how to move from theory to practice:

Start with Small Projects: Begin with simple Java projects like console applications or basic games. These projects help you apply your knowledge and build confidence.

Gradually Work Your Way Up: As you gain experience, move on to more complex projects. Explore desktop applications with JavaFX, web development using Spring Boot, or Android app development with Android Studio.

Building real-world applications not only reinforces your technical skills but also provides you with a portfolio of work that can be showcased to potential employers or clients.

Step 6: Learning from Reputable Sources

While self-study and practice are essential, enrolling in structured courses from reputable training providers can significantly accelerate your learning. One such respected source of education is ACTE Technologies. Here's why learning from them, can be a game-changer:
