I'm sure the author would accept pull requests if you've got the time to show ValWithPtr safety.

Often what is “approved” and “delivered” conflict. In this case, they approved a part, a genuine part, but got a fake part, unbeknownst to them at the time. One could say the fake part was not “approved”.

It’s not invalid because a string is a string. You didn’t invent a new type.

I mean, if(len(O) == 32) technically is a validation but you’re right, by default it just fits for size.

>”Learning assembly language is basically useless at this point.” I whole heartedly disagree. There’s an entire class of performance tuning you can do to math intensive applications that absolutely require knowledge of assembly to squeez

alias and type redefinitions are conceptually the same. int and int_t are conceptually the same. I’m going to assume it’s my type, as defined in the signature of my method you’re calling. If you don’t adhere to the contract then the onus is

This is the way. Look not at the characters but at the hex.

Stored in binary format, validation, more efficient due to non-cast, faster access due to non char*, being able to split the high-low, indexing and uniqueness at the byte level.

Both of which were developed more than 20 years ago. I also think they knew the ask since they made games prior. I can see how words are confusing and math is hard.

There in lies the problem. With shifting priorities and shifting strategies I don’t see them actually knowing what their market is.

We all know the Vorbis is supreme. Get out of here with your 15 year old DRM compression riddled subpar listening formats. OGG is all that matters. Without it… we wouldn’t have Spotify. <leaves before shoe is thrown>.

Yeah and Ultima Online was the same. I’m not talking about 1999’s definition of an MMO, when people were still using dialup.

While I commend his efforts, it’s not even remotely MMO. A few thousand can be handled by one server. One beefy server, but one server nonetheless. I’m talking about 10,000+ players. Where you need clusters of servers and synchronization te

In this example, *cptr is a color by contract. A Color is a type alias of a string. *cptr is a string. Interfaces match.

It is enforced by the compiler, what it doesn't do is guarantee it at runtime. I agree with you on the enums. Go doesn't have a reliable enum construct. But the argument that I, the library author, must validate and check against

‘type Color string’ is just a type alias for string. Likewise GLint is just a type alias for int. There are only value types (str, int, float, etc), everything else is a construct. The only true types are those value types (and pointers to

Oh I feel for the author. I’ve made games. I’ve made distributed web platforms. I have profound respect for modern mmo architectures because of one, nasty, “I wish this wasn’t a thing” class of data. State. Who, where, what animation, what

This is where battery and storage comes into play. We aren’t limited to harnessing power the moment we need it, we can store it for later.

“My truck is so badass you can feel the ground shaking.” Such a Texas thing to say. I had my fair share of wind turbines on my sailboat. Nothing this guy is taking about is 1) new. 2) novel. 3) revolutionary. What he’s trying to do is whi

It’s actually not and is one of those Java isms that have made its way into generalized software engineering. If I write a function that takes Foo as an argument. I have a Foo implementation exposed elsewhere in my program. It is absolutely

Find starting point in dungeon. A* to every room. Rooms with a large distance (iter count) and with only one or two paths out (choke points, use graph to see edges) become potentials, every potential that is _far & narrow_ is flagged “e

As stated before, YMMV, because the killer apps for me have been iRacing and DCS in VR. If you aren't into simulation games, VR isn't really there yet for your genre. FPS's are getting there, kinda. Your brain still has to re

Dead Cells, HLD, both have much better art styles than Fez. Fez’s worlds were great but the choice of 16px vs 32px limited it in details, hence geometry carving of the 3D world to add more detail impossible to achieve with pixel art tiled t

I mean mediocre. There was nothing special about it. It wasn’t even that good. There have been much better looking pixel art games made. The style of Fez came from Phil redoing the art 3 times, outsourcing the character design, and still ma

Not at all. I think Indie Game The Movie took a lot of liberties to show him a certain way. I think the stress of it all got to him and now he does other things. I’m more aquatinted with the programmer Renaud from back in the days. I think
