Clueless recruiter of the week:

  • contract position
  • not remote
  • C++ (which I haven't touched since BeOS was a thing)
  • in Ottawa (6-8 hours drive from me)

I guess it's a good sign that the keyword-matching recruiters have returned to LinkedIn, maybe the job market is looking up?

@Taffer recruiters can really suck, but the job market does seem to be turning around!

Had an urge to add LuaJit to Godot just now. I'm not even good at Lua.

@Taffer previously I was messing around trying to get Lua to work with Godot so I could run with it. Unfortunately I couldn't get it running in web builds

@insomniac_lemon @Taffer quite possibly a known limitation and I didn't know about it 😅 I was mainly trying to see if I could use fennel and Godot for the lisp jam. If you get Lua working in web builds I'd love to know about it!

Function naming problems!

So, you know floor/ceiling/round

But, what do I name one that given the input 3.25 has a 75% chance of rounding it to 3 and 25% chance of rounding it to 4?

I realize it's going to be an incredibly useful function for adaptive music.

But... what do I call it?

@Nifflas weighted round?

so many games made in Unity/GameMaker/etc that only have a Windows version on Steam, and no Mac and Linux. I know Mac complicates things with the notarization thing, but what about Linux? Thought commercial engines major selling point was cross-platform capabilities.

@djlink I wonder if steam deck will change these metrics as time goes on

What kind of work do you share between your Godot projects, and how?

Currently I can think of the following:

  • Actions (e.g., quickly setup common input actions)
  • Plugins (some encapsulated tool usually with editor support)
  • Templates (something you intend to edit, like a base character controller)
  • Asset/Collections (some scripts/scenes which you could inherit from/use, but wouldn't be expected to edit, such as ui-components)

frozenfire92,
@frozenfire92@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@SirLich still working thru this myself, I think some autoloads are pretty obvious (like a Save script)

frozenfire92,
@frozenfire92@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@SirLich I think themes are another good one too.

Haven't figure out sharing yet, git submodules is always an option, but maybe defining an add-on/plugin is better (not mutually exclusive to submodules)

frozenfire92,
@frozenfire92@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@SirLich yeah good point about the submodules 🤔 getting into package management territory is dangerous but maybe a shell script to fetch the repos and copy them into your new project (or replace to update) could work for a personal workflow
