I think the most kickass feature any IDE could have would be wizard that does "analyze code in these assemblies and change the IDE's code style settings to match it".

For every style option, if there's not a 90% (customizable) consensus in the code, it should ask how to resolve every ambiguity.

Then finally the wizard should ask me if I want to format the rest of the code with these rules and fix inconsistencies.

Probably very hard to implement tho :)

@Nifflas Alright, I wish you good nerves and perseverance until your financial situation improves! Also, I understand the point to avoid subscription software. I got to use Rider for years as a student and like to work with it so much, I won't give the subscription fee a shrug. I guess Visual Studio is fine if you are used to it, it's not like Rider is way superior. :) Bonus for me is Linux support though which is just flawless with Rider.

@Nifflas Isn't Rider just 10 bucks a month or do you count as organization? (Sorry if it is and 10 bucks are a lot for you right now.)

A thing that I like about it and the other Jetbrains IDEs that wasn't mentioned in this thread yet (or I overlooked it) is that it also has a lot of context actions where it will highlight some code, suggest how to write it instead and at the same time allow you to re-configure the inspection, basically saying "no Rider, this is how I like it".

@raptor85 @Nifflas I just found this blog post, according to which Rider is already capable of auto-detecting coding style! Will try that out now. https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2020/11/19/auto-detect-code-format-rules-with-rider-2020-3/

Okay since this worked really well last time, I have another request for advice. I currently focus on and try to get as good as it in as many areas as possible in the time I have. The reason for that is that I got a job where I could learn it and get paid for it. Now when looking at job offerings I find larger companies seem to prefer . Do I assume correctly that I need to chose one and will then kinda be stuck with it? I don't have time to learn two engines.

    @maddy ah number of fingers! That makes sense, thanks.

    @wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @maddy a) this reminded me of my PS2-style Gamepad with an 8-way d-pad. Thanks for that.
    b) How does the keyboard solve the 8-way problem?

    I spent so much time debugging this syntax error. I feel so dumb now.

    @Nifflas I stared at this for several minutes and didn't get it until I noticed you put the solution in the alt text... why is the bar character not underlined? How did that even get there? Oh wow.

    I can't afford a code signing certificate for Windows. I guess it'll have to be the "more info" button for people who want to play the game.

    I kinda just fear a lot of people will not play it because of that.

    @Nifflas the game not being on Steam is the bigger problem, isn't it? People who are willing to download it from whatever source you use will also follow your instructions.

    Hey native speakers, for a sword, do you say handle or grip or something else?

    @ghosttie Thank you!

    @wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @ghosttie Thanks again! That confirms what another user said and what I thought of when hearing the term "hilt" - the handle of a chisel. Also, you are pointing in the correct direction - I am working on a cosplay and am therefore interested in an absurd amount of details. I am now going to look up how the hilt is constructed to decide if the thing I made is similar enough...

    Programmers who set default hotkeys to key combinations that are always used by the same function but not to use that function should be fired. Also, every hotkey setup dialogue should have a "press hotkey and I'll show you what it does" option. Libreoffice does something when I press Ctrl+F which is not search and I have no idea what it is so how do I revert it?!

    Sometimes I still struggle with some English words, especially with those that have a meaning for which I would use a different, probably more common word. English natives, does anyone say sedentary instead of sitting when refering to the position a person is in? If yes, when? I only read that once in a scientific paper.

    I have something else to rant about. The client is fucking broken since their unified their backends. The first page it opens up with is always black and can't load until I opened my library once. It is slower overall and now it also can't display my own wishlist because it thinks it is not mine.

    What? Since when can you see how many boosts and favorites your and other peoples' toots had?

    wildrikku,
    @wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @SirLich It was "advertised" to me as a feature that Mastodon does not do this. I use the default Mastodon web client, just with the multiple column layout, which still does not show the counts. I just noticed in the single toot view.

    I wanted to make a grim joke on AI fake news and a made up third world war citing 99 Red Balloons (99 Luftballons) by Nena but figured out that the English version has a completely different message or maybe no message at all, I don't really get it. So, no joke for you. War is not funny anyways.

    @aeva hm, condensed like that, one might indeed look at them as if they told the same story with different insight. Looking at which language tells which version, it becomes almost weirdly poetic. hmmm

    I fell into the rabbit hole of rigs / exoskeletons / body suits and wow. I had no idea these things are real and that advanced. Adding that to the fact that at $work, we work on very real telepresence robots, I can't stop thinking about Ready Player One.

    Also, what the fuck is wrong with #Steam play time counting. Every other time I look at it, time actually went down. Come on Valve, you really got a sign error in there or what? I probably need something else to track my time. It was already annoying when playing offline was not counted correctly, but now it's just completely unreliable. Or the next big thing Valve puts out is an actual time machine.

    I just learned of a person who completed Hades despite being blind and... HOW? They also commented on Beat Slayer being almost suitable for blind people. I am impressed and confused - and curious. Apparently it does not take too much to make games accessible for blind people so... maybe I should learn more about that.

    Sometimes, when I have the feeling that games are less polished towards the end, I wonder if game development works in a way that things get polished in the order of appearance in the story. Movies are not usually filmed in the order of the plot, so why should games be developed that way? So... is it true that games have more bugs towards the end? If yes, why is that?

    One day, I should play Halo for the soundtrack alone. So good. I played Anno today with a friend and as usual, instead of the Anno OST, I listened to a playlist that largely consists of Hans Zimmer's and John Williams' works and assorted video game soundtracks, including Halo (and an orchestral medley of Pokémon lol).
