It's hugely fascinating to watch & listen to him brainstorm on the type of game he wants to build. This is awesome.

This is a great idea. Uncle bob[1] had filmed himself a few times (I've learned a few tricks this way), but making it real time is a lot more engaging. [1] http://vimeo.com/7762511 http://vimeo.com/7762511

I have lost count of the number of things I learned. Particularly new ways of doing things.

  Can you list some of them? The concept of editing the game loop code while the game is still running is new to me (even though apparently this has been around for a long time).

    I didn't watch the full stream, only an excerpt from the middle. Do you know how that works? That really fascinated me.

      For a little bit technical overview have a look at http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_What_is_hot_code_replace%3F http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_What_is_hot_code_replace%3F

        Thanks! Just what I searched for!

    That is the craziest awesome thing i've seen while watching. It never occurred to me, but its so simply brilliant!

    Using a paint program as a level editor is something more people should be exposed to.

      You can do that with TuxRacer, if you just want to play with the idea. http://tuxracer.sourceforge.net/faq.html#newcourses http://tuxracer.sourceforge.net/faq.html#newcourses

    Yep. Hot code loading is something I do every day in Erlang and couldn't live without :)

I'd pay money for a 24-hour channel of various programmers, known and unknown, livestreaming. Does this exist already?

  Would be interesting to have a recording of the linux kernel programmers, could release a 'Best of Code 3.1'... offering football highlights of coding :) I wonder who would pay to watch Carmack and others code on a regular basis..

    Problem is if we only saw him diving into Rage source code and tweaking stuff, that wouldn't teach us much.
    - dkersten 15y ago
      Plus Rage and other commercial stuff would be under NDA, so no chance of watching any coding on such projects. Big and popular open source projects would definitely work though, IMHO.

  you may have to pay for it. he just closed the stream because he realized the 17000 viewers would equal a huge bill from livestream.

12000 people watching a man program _JAVA_. I guess hell is a cold place nowadays ;)
- swah 15y ago
  More like 12000 people now understand that is not the language that matters :)
