Psst smart pointers still have to have their references cleared, else they leak just like regular pointers.

@floooh @PetorSFZ @demofox @mmby Couldn't you also write code to display your handles correctly in the debugger? I remember Visual Studio can do that.

@floooh @demofox @mmby Do you know of a good implementation of this that I could learn from?

My wife says google ought to make a Google translate for code. Why doesn't this exist?!

@demofox It's called GPT-4. Gimme some code to translate!

📢 The slides of Thomas Nattestad's and my #WasmIO24 talk on 👉 #WebAssembly at Google 👈 are available at https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1bnYntCeekIev8hZnizixvLPUV7ljfJ2hNO6vBOcnXlE/edit?usp=sharing.

In the talk, we showed a lot of examples of how Google uses #Wasm in its products, creates tooling for Wasm, and contributes to Wasm's standardization.

For questions, catch either of us at the #wasmIO conference.

@tomayac Great talk, thanks for doing it.

Too bad I didn't crowd fund this game because I could get all my backers to write the gravestones and call it a $40 reward tier.

@grumpygamer It's not too late!

I think I've over engineered my rpg engine. There are 5 ways to start a quest dialog with an npc when there really needs to be 2. Over time I've realized I only need 2, but 3 others remain for historical reasons. I've failed to follow the advice of when your prototype is done, start over with a clean codebase.

@grumpygamer Advice is easy to give and hard to follow :)

I just finally deployed something I've been working on for a few weeks now: a feed of my writing, posting, reading, and other various activity that lives on my website at https://www.mollywhite.net/feed!

I've admired the POSSE (https://indieweb.org/POSSE; "Publish [on your] Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere") model for a long time, but only finally found the time and energy to put something together that I'm actually happy with.

@molly0xfff This is great. I've been thinking a lot about the ownership of data recently!

@molly0xfff One question: How does it post to Twitter/Mastodon/Bluesky? It looks like it's splitting longer posts across Tweets, but does it use the public Twitter API?

You can take it from my cold dead hands.
Feeling that 2a feels, but about my language of choice.

bobbydigitales,
@bobbydigitales@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@demofox Surely this is a freedom of speech issue. Who has the right to tell you what language to use?

@demofox Hey! I vaguely remember a post somewhere about using a blue noise (or similar) texture to do poisson disc sampling/placement of things. I know this is super vague! Do you have any idea what I'm on about?

bobbydigitales,
@bobbydigitales@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@demofox @jon_valdes It was actually this one: https://nothings.org/gamedev/blue_noise/ ! Also I couldn't find this post at all in the Mastodon UI to tell you I found it :)

bobbydigitales,
@bobbydigitales@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@demofox Yes very helpful indeed, thanks so much for taking the time to post all the responses. I'll read them and get back to you :)

I remember someone posted a method of using a blue noise texture to do fast poisson disc sampling on the GPU. Does that ring any bells for anyone?

I've always wanted to organize a game jam where everyone hikes into the mountains and they have to develop their game using only the power in their laptop. I'll bring the S'mores. Who's in?

bobbydigitales,
@bobbydigitales@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@grumpygamer M1 Mac is a superpower. Steam Deck is also very good at aggressively power saving! Could use that as a laptop.

If anyone is interested in meeting up for some free in-person mentoring, I'll be at GDC. I did it last year and it was very successful! We always meet outside in Yerba Buena gardens or another public place. Lemme know in DMs if you're interested!

My computer continues to be a crashing mess :(

bobbydigitales,

@foone Are there any windows crashdumps you can inspect in windbg to find the offending driver/hardware?
