Another fluxbox user here. I've basically ran the same configuration for nearly 15 years now. Everything is in muscle memory and never changes. Totally the best UX

Qt also has QML which allows you to do things similar to what you would have with the combination of HTML,CSS and JS

And the sunset calculator doesn't need a location provider. All it needs are location coordinates which can be given to the calculate function. In fact the whole thing then becomes a standalone function which takes Location and other r

Any idea about perf diff between this and GLM? In Computer graphics my use case is with fixed 4x4 matrices and vec4s. Thanks!

No, not original Claim about WASM but your original Claim that about hot reloading and WASM. "Hot reloading is a good example." Again. You don't need WASM for hot reloading.

by ensiferum 4y ago
But that's sort of moving the goal posts now. Original claim for WASM was that it allows hot reloading. Which is a thing you can do with DLLs just fine.

But you can already do this with DLLs or with SOs files. You can keep your network logic for example inside another module (perhaps the host app) and then load the logic that acts on the received data as a dll. Process separation and IPC na

Yeah this is impossible because code that isn't written cannot document itself and then the only option is to have a comment. And sometimes the meaningful thing is exactly what doesn't exist. For example here we're not doin

Thanks, that link seems interesting and relevant! Well, ... the Qt3D is a higher level framework that isn't really relevant to the stuff I'm doing considering that I'm basically running my own "framework", i.e. my g

Sorry no. Never developed for Mac and juggling Linux and Windows is already a lot.

Hi, thanks. Honestly.. I haven't compared. I've built this as a passion project not as a "product" with a product/market fit or competitive landscape in mind. I mean there are already so many engines out there that

Currently the game engine .WASM is about 12mb. The demo games have Emscripten filesystem images that vary from 6mb to 100mb. These sizes reflect the combined size of the raw game resources (i.e. fonts, textures, audio files etc)

Hi, you're absolutely correct. Tooling and the whole content pipeline is super important. I chose Qt because I'm already very familiar with it and I know that it can do so much stuff out of the box and I want the editor to work as

Years ago I hikes around Annapurna in Nepal. Going through Thorong La (spelling) pass goes up to 5400m and can have snow any time of year. I saw several unprepared hikers who had simple summer gear with them only. The locals hike this route

Fasting isn't starving. It's living off of the food and energy you ate before. I.e. done properly you're tapping i to your bodyfat for energy and there's absolutely no hunger.

"But many of my repos are still stale though I think my code is good enough." The reality is just like with sellable (software) products (code) quality doesn't matter when it comes to "success".

But you can always just use a different layout for your keyboard. So eve with a keyboard with physical key engravings in Japanese you could just use a US layout.

Haha that's the rabbit hole. Two weeks later you're compiling your own kernel from sources just to be able to get that specific version of libc so that you can get libfoo working so that you can get libbar working so that you can

Do you have a training/learning curriculum ready? You'll need to study the following. * Computer science basics. The fundamental building blocks for computation. The bread and butter of algorithms and data structures. There's

That seems like an overly narrow stance on the subject. Not all games are AAA level and not all game engines need to be competing in the same category with UE4/5/CryEngine/Unity etc. trying to reach maximal "realism&quot

Nice, but it only supports Vulkan? I did something similar in a few macros myself by creating nested scopes which record the current time on enter and exit. However I'm leveraging the UI built into chromium for the visualization. http

I was spending anything from 12 to 16h per day (including weekends) for about 10 months working on my game engine after i quit my day job. Now that I'm working again i still try to throw at least 2-3h at it after work. Mostly i enjoy

Well yes like I said on Windows you can access the terminal and set its properties without encoding terminal escape sequences in the output stream. On Linux afaik escape sequences are the only way. On MacOS i have no idea. Generally speakin

Is this on Windows? If so Windows provides a typical Win32 type of HANDLE API for the console which can be used to change the properties of the console among other things.

Yes actually I think my bank sent me a message and asked me to call them. But either case it was all legitimate and my card was renewed.
