Steam Input is an abstraction layer on top of controllers. It helps you support any type of controller in your game. It also provides remapping support from within the Steam UI. Players can browse for and share their controller configuratio

There's nothing like Steam Input, Steam Networking, the inventory service, etc. Not to mention all of the additional functionality provided in the Steam website/client itself like proper reviews, remote play, trading/marketpl

Steamworks, the APIs available to all games on Steam, is packed with tons of features and services that aren't a CDN + forum. Anyone making games for Steam should make use of those to get the most out of their 30% in fees. The followin

Just wanted to point out that Metal is another source of lock in from Apple. Although DirectX is Windows-only you can still use Vulkan natively.

Apparently the level of security required for home screen web apps can only be met by Apple. Because nobody else can be trusted to isolate the data of different web apps from each other.

Do you have a source for this? S&box used to use UE4 in the past but as soon as Source 2 became an option immediately jumped ship. There has been a ton of progress since then and I don't see why he would regret switching to Source

S&box has rewritten many parts of the engine in C# at this point. Gets rid of lots of legacy code and makes this easier to change in the future. Using the scripting facilities built into Source 2 would have restricted what could be writ

I like the Custom Tabs feature. It avoids security concerns with web views and the back button works how you'd expect it to within a single app. If you want to open the page in your browser there is a button in its menu to open it in C

No. Godot is way too big to target microcontrollers like the RP2040.

I have a Model 3 and can unlatch/open the driver door from the app. There's no paid upgrade for that.

"int" is not boxed but "Integer" is. You can't use primitive types like "int" inside generic type arguments so in that case you're forced into using the boxed integer type.

> Are those 3D graphics? Not exactly but all hardware accelerated rendering today is done using the same APIs as 3D graphics. You would use OpenGL (or any other API) and basically render everything without the third dimension. There is n

Oh, so you meant startup time for the runtime, JIT, etc. then. That's not exactly relevant to usage in game engines here because it is only done once. If you want to compare startup times you should be using .NET's AOT compilation
856.
by Rohansi 3y ago
Do you mean compiling the .NET runtime (CoreCLR) itself or AOT compiling C# code? Because I recently tried AOT compiled C# and that builds quickly. And you don't generally need to compile the .NET runtime when embedding it because you

FYI Mono has been shipping Roslyn as its C# compiler for a few years now. Mono's C# compiler only fully supports up to C# 6 while Roslyn supports C# 12, the latest version. Mono shares a lot of code with .NET (Core) but is mostly limit

Windows does have an ARM version. You can even run it on the Raspberry Pi 4. That article is just about Apple's hardware specifically.

Yes, multiple Unity scenes can be loaded at the same time overlaying each other. Physics can optionally be local to a single scene too. You also don't need to parent objects to the camera for UI. Not sure how it used to be in the past.

> how can you have one runtime that is multi-threaded and one runtime that is not, and expect to be able to seamlessly interchange them? That works fine for C#. When writing UI applications all async code started from the UI thread will

S&box is still in progress and using C# but it is now using the Source 2 engine instead. You can actually get invoted to it on Steam and play/build games for it now too. It previously used UE4 and C# integration was all working wit

Can't confirm but since it's running in a VM it could easily just time out and abort.

I believe the situation with this has improved. Before EAS you needed to target one of the more recent SDK versions or you wouldn't be able to build using their services. However, if your app is new (or upgraded) enough to use EAS now

Ejecting is no longer required with EAS (Expo Application Services) build. You can bring in your own native dependencies and still use Expo without ejecting. I use it for the Rust (video game) companion app, using the stock libraries bundle

It's an engine written in C++ (not Unreal) that we've added C# scripting to. So it's in the same kind of situation as Unity where their engine calls from C# land need to be marshaled into calls to native code and back, which

As a developer on one of larger Unity games - yes, there are paint points elsewhere. There are many pain points. The poor performance of Mono/IL2CPP is a significant one for us. We have a different game built on .NET (Core) and perform

Is running dev tools (compilers etc) on production servers a thing? I have always built on my machine (or build server) and then deployed to production.

Chrome has an icon for this in the address bar. The only problem with this solution is you lose control of which elements you want to allow.
