What kind of games do you need to worry about memory layout for? From the outside, I'd expect that it's as diverse as most software, where sometimes you need control like C and other times python will do.
- actuallyalys 5y ago> From the outside, I'd expect that it's as diverse as most software, where sometimes you need control like C and other times python will do. I develop games as a hobby, and my understanding is that this is literally true, but a little misleading. Games are as diverse as other areas of software, but they're skewed toward the more complex and demanding end. I don't think it's that atypical for a moderately complex game by an indie studio to get to the point where memory layout is a concern, which I don't think is as true for web apps, desktop apps, or other areas of development. That being said, I think worrying about memory layout is more than a lot of games need.
