Recent versions of Unity are actually using Roslyn ¹) but they are admittedly running a bit behind on C# language version. The currently supported version is at 9 while 14 came out last month. It's not really a huge issue in practice,

This may be a dumb question, but I couldn't figure it out from the website: Does this app allow me to actually view my photos? Can I double-click a filename? Can I get a page of thumbnails? Some sort of a gallery view?

As some of the other comments allude to, the term of art for text adventure is "interactive fiction". The Interactive Fiction Wiki is a nice place to start: https://www.ifwiki.org/Main_Page And if you search for s

the Kinect One is better in a bunch of ways (field of view, resolution) but a big one for certain use-cases is that it can fully track 6 skeletons. The 360 Kinect can only track two skeletons (but differentiate 6).

Ah, good to point out, yeah. The 'no resale' clause is pretty common for asset packs, but unlike Kenney these definitely aren't CC0.

You may want to list clearly somewhere which types of digital asset you support, because different industries have different ideas about that. This only handles images, correct? And not video, audio, Office documents, PDFs, 3D models and an

As others have also mentioned, the most important thing you can do is show interest and engage with your son and his ideas. And that really requires only your time and maybe a pencil and a bit of paper. Figure out what kind of game this is

The Simpsons Game (2007) on the 360 has an achievement for pressing the start button. It has a 93% completion rate. So 7% of the people that bought this game (and being a console game, it never was part of any bundles) started it up and the

Ardour is GPLv2 open-source, but they still do somewhat pointedly attempt to dissuade you from building from source ¹). Now, I fully understand why. And I think charging for pre-built binaries is a totally valid way to attempt to finance an

Interesting here and in some of the other comments in this thread is that 1 is not a prime number ¹)! Now granted, that's more or less by definition and I don't doubt there's communities and fields where it is considered on

The way I've explained this to coworkers and stakeholders is, "A prototype costs 1x, a product costs 3x, and a platform costs 9x." Not exactly the definitions Brooks used, but memorable and in my experience surprisingly accur

Like many others, I heartily recommend the Donut tutorial as a start. It'll teach you the basics, get a handle on the most used shortcuts, and a feel for how the modifier keys (shift, alt, ctrl) work with the mouse. I also recommend th

The bin packing problem is NP-hard, but rectangle packing is "merely" NP. However, most people just use a recursive biggest-fit-first ¹), a simple heuristic that is surprisingly hard to beat for most workloads. I couldn't fig
