Package managers will never be a substitute for something that you can just download and run

@eniko i have a feeling this will end up in a purist-neutral-rebel alignment chart of package managers

Baby's first deferred renderer ^^ (no pbr yet)

The first mayor feature I've implemented by myself, not following The WGPU Tutorial :3

Lessons learned:

  • when textures are resized (due to window resizing) the texture bindings also have to be updated, otherwise the lighting pass will use outdated (or even blank) gbuffer textures
  • you have to wait until resources are no longer used by in-flight draws before deleting them, otherwise the gpu will likely crash ^^"

now obviously everyone's different but if I made a MyHouse.WAD, and I modeled it after my irl MyHouse, I would simply never enter my MyHouse ever again

Very angry to learn that zero times infinity is not zero. Things like this is why I can't respect mathematics

@beatrix@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@eniko ikr??? They could accept negative numbers, fractions, irrational numbers, even sqrt(-1) just became i… why can’t we just define 0*inf and move on?!

I used to have some real problems falling asleep at night, and took all kinds of pills to help with that. These days I fall asleep normally but instead I tend to wake up at 4 AM and only rarely do I manage to go back to sleep. Since I need to get up a few hours later anyway, pills won’t work as I’d be a zombie for most of the day. Not sure what to do.

@anderseknert i take mirtazapin which, in my case, unlike melatonin, helps with the staying asleep part too. Tho had to find the right amount to take that keeps me asleep but doesn’t make me a zombie for the next day. No idea tho if it’d work for you too 😅

As a narrative designer, I'm always confused by "stories" in Agile development.

@aeva Linus is woke so the kernel is woke which makes all distros inherently woke :3 yes, even android is woke ^^

A "compiled" language is an interpreted language for generating IR and error messages, and I think it's interesting that compiled languages mostly don't embrace this fact.

beatrix,
@beatrix@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@aeva actually I’ve been thinking about the same thing recently, mostly inspired by zig… and was wondering if it would make sense to embrace it and develop a language mainly as an api/library… and then was wondering how that would be different from e.g. llvm…

I'm interested to know what % of gamedev people started this path by learning everything on their own

Are you self-taught or did you study at an institution?

⭐️ please write the details in the comments

beatrix,
@beatrix@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@maxim originally self-taught, learnt programming from books, then game stuff from gamedev.net etc when eventually got internet access.

And later went to uni to study Information Technology, since that was one of the closest to game development.
