This is just straight up false. You can compile subsets of the engine even in Godot 3. Godot 4 has made this a first class citizen. C++ coding is just fine. It's not painful. It can be a bit of boilerplate to expose c++ member fields a

Calm down. This aggressive response to having your ideas challenged is exactly the type of thinking you resent in your political opponents. > Trucker protest is _all_ pro trump anti vaxxer / ivermectin This is black and white "

Id like to suggest that you rethink your opinion on the trucker caravan protest. It is a reasonable position to frame them as opposing authoritarian government policies and for the governments response to be overreach. The popularity of the

SK catching a stray here undermines the unity we are seeking. Uranium and potash from SK are huge bargaining chips. AB separatism is meaningless and it's emphasis and influence is propped up by Canada's adversaries.

What use cases is Tiger Beetles architecture not a good fit for? When tiger beetle becomes pluggable to different use cases, how should I think about "do I want tiger beetle?"

Proven technique is an Appeal to Authority. You have offered no real first principal evidence for your claims. Here's some evidence in favor of flecs: I find value in its reflection and serialization system, as well as it's pipeli

This is what ECS frameworks like Flecs can help with. They provide the tools and abstractions so you can write heavily modular code in this model. If you don't need the generic modularity, flecs will not feel like your gaining anything

> My experience with ECS is that you shouldn't use an "ECS system" Why? Flecs, for example, is pretty sick imo.

The real key pillar to this world view is putting the data first in your design of the algorithm. So if your working on a physics engine and your optimizing collision detection, you think about the data in -> data out of the problem you

Casey Muratori and Jon Blow have pushed this concept frequently. They largely don't deeply elaborate, which is sad because I am a professional game developer who is interested in precisely presented knowledge so I can apply it to my wo

Awesome, thanks for engaging with me and talking to Erin about it. I hacked together world cloning in box 2d and am confident I could do it in box 3d as well. Especially with the record/replay/validate system to help guide the imp

I see. This helps a lot thank you. Thank you for your time. I respect you deeply and have valued your work. For box2d, in the past I added a function to delete the entire contact cache and then I experimented with either calling that every

Hey Glenn, what do you mean by 'rollback determinism'? Is there some particular thing missing from Box3D now that makes it difficult to synchronize with solely the inputs? My reading of Box3D's docs is that it has 'cross

It's funny, I've also been trying to use AI to implement (simpler) shadow mapping code and it has failed. I eventually formed a very solid understanding of the problem domain myself and achieved my goals with hand written code. I

Gemini & ChatGPT have not done well at writing or analyzing OpenGL like rendering code for me, as well. And for many algorithms, it's not good at explaining them as well. And for some of the classical algorithms, like cascading sha

It's a common misconception that this is only used in fighting games. This technique was developed first in Duke Nukem, and then exploited heavily by Carmack in Quake, and subsequently refined and built upon in other AAA FPS games, spe

I've been watching a ton of Tsoding lately. I really like nob.h his build system and I've been using it in my projects. Why we ever used a different language to build C/C++ seems so insane. Using the same language for the bui

Lots of excellent games are written in Python, Lua, JavaScript and GDScript. These abstract criticisms are just that, abstract. I'm offering real practical advice from experience of having worked on real projects. I'll make it rea

You likely won't need to do manual memory management nor think about undefined behavior. If your writing basic c++ to handle the simulation in a game, it's going to be pretty orthodox and these problems likely won't manifest.

"not having a JIT" is not a problem, it's you speculating that a JIT will improve performance, the real problem is "GDScript has poor performance", which in this context (me saying C# in godot sucks) is you speculat

by dustbunny 9mo ago
Yeah that's why GDScript is great. You only dabble in the c++ for the sliver of the project that needs it. 90% of game development is animating stuff and user interface development. GDScript is great for that.

So do you keep it chilled 24/7 or do you turn it on manually or with a timer?
