As a game developer, I have a bunch of very talented programmers in my office, and afaik I know the most SQL in the office, which isn't much.

Even still, as an Indie developer, I'd much rather develop against Vulcan than OpenGL from everything I can yet tell.

I'm actually super curious as to why you have that opinion, UnrealEngine has been around longer, and has always had significantly more in the way of production quality tools and features. There are certainly differences, especially whe

Perhaps not, as a graphics programmer, rewriting the rendering system is comparatively simple, enjoyable, and perhaps not worth 5% of a moderately successful game. However, UE4 is much more than just a graphics library. I'd argue tha

> What I hate about unity is the whole interface editor thing, it's big and you must use everything to use it. Is this Unreal Engine more earth to earth when it comes to programming ? The programming experience in UE4 is great, but

Is there a better way to report the bug than just use the built-in crash reporter? I still get super sporadic crashes, I think it has to do with having too many tabs loaded.

Why is it wrapped in a do{}while(0); ?

Speaking for myself. 1. yes 2. yes 3. yes Now, while I am forced to use Visual Studio as a build system and for it's integrated debugger. I too, generally use other tools for actual development. And I'd love if I didn't have

Yes, sorry. I should have better explained. In this case, C4 is capable of building with nearly zero libraries, afaik, only requiring OS libs, and OpenGL. In this case, I think we can expect the libraries to be in perfect working condition.

by Arelius 12y ago
The OpenGL profile isn't enough either. You really need direct and real hardware access. Emulated graphics just won't do.

That's true, honestly, library installation is a pain on Windows. Sadly, the problem on Linux is often Driver installation, which is more problematic to be missing.

Actually, in this case, glossing over the "needed libraries" is appropriate. Eric some serious NIH. Choosing to write his own video codec, for example.

While the website is down, I think it forgets to mention the "Never add comments to any code unless it's explicitly part of the public API." It's also possible he prepossesses the comments out.

Thanks, I tried to search for more info but couldn't find it. I can't read this right now since it seems that Terathon.com is down, but will check it out.

While Linux development, especially for game development, does has it's fare share of pain points. I don't think this should be interpreted as any more than it is, a single developer deciding he wants to stop supporting, one speci

You are actually speaking of the same thing, "high-speed film" similar to a "high-speed lens" doesn't actually affect the framerate, yet rather how fast it can produce an image from a certain light-source. It's

Sure, if you can render at so 120 hz, or more and composite the 4 frames together into your single frame you will get a single improved frame. but even at 4 renders a frame you'll still get artifacts, I imagine you'd need at least

Yeah, sure you could implement that in the memory controller, but it seems like a waste of silicon to do something that you really shouldn't be needing to do very often anyways. And even if it could, it would be saturating the bus band

That's not true at all, There is indeed a "self", and nearly all functions are executed in a context with a valid self. Additionally, there are plenty of nodes such as "Get Player Controller by index" which allows t
