It seems someone took a swing at getting it working on newer visual studio releases, back in 2022. https://github.com/DBJDBJ/windows_plus_plus

I find it's often faster for me to finish the final 20% myself than to talk the agent into doing it for me; because too often the agent will start to eat its own tail, and spend far too long completing something that I find obvious.

Nah, quiet quit. Orchestrate the agents to the degree necessary to keep your job, and no more. Use the free time to read a book.

I think my advice still follows. If you're making a game for yourself, then it's best to know and understand yourself. There's often a difference between what people think they want and what will actually bring them joy.

Roberta Williams is at the top of the list; her games were a huge part of my youth. Lesser known here would be Lori Cole, who made Hero's Quest. Loved those Quest games. Rebecca Heineman comes next; again, the games she worked on were

I'm interested in helping my daughters discover content that appeals to them, and to do that I need to understand what it is about certain games that is appealing for them. > I definitely don't think I could make a better game

I have two young daughters who love video games. While there is definitely a great deal many games in my Steam Library they aren't interested in, that's mostly a reflection of my tastes not being shared by them. As it is, there ar

The major feature that EGS lacks and which makes it appealing to indies and repulsive to gamers is user reviews. User reviews are a major influence on consumer choice; and Steam even shows recent vs long term, which signals if a recent chan

(1) we have reasonable limits on all our rights, thanks to Section 1; this is rooted in our history of Toryism and ensures that the rights of the individual are balanced against the well-being of society. This is contrasted against how the

Trudeau became so desperately unpopular that he was compelled to step down. As for legal responsibility and repercussions, that's a process that is still in motion. The law moves slowly in Canada.

It really doesn't allow _any_ rights to be overridden. It's rather clear in its scope,[0] and while it's true that our justice system has taken the Government to task when it has exceeded the scope[1] it's not as though

While it's true that Section 33 of the Charter can override other sections, it cannot override _all_ of them; and the Emergencies Act is roughly equivalent in effect to the USA's ability to deploy the National Guard. It allows the

We might argue whether they were good (I disagree) but I cannot agree that they were ever _necessary_ as an energy source. Viable alternatives exist and have existed for the entire duration of their use as a form of energy; and the story of

There are places that do. Here in Canada there are at least two provinces that subsist almost entirely off of hydro, and have for the better part of a century. Both export huge amounts of electricity to the USA. And we have active political

The solution, in the absence of oil, would be to simply build more hydro and wind. Neither are particularly difficult technologies. Where they would have lagged in efficiency they make up for in simplicity. Distributing electricity isn&#x27

Coal was certainly a problem; we have the word "smog" for a reason. But we were already on our way to electrified transport, via street cars and similar, when the automobile surged to popularity.

There's certainly a quality to it that has lent itself to the suburbanization of the USA. In the absence of viable electric battery technology, the suburbanization would have relied on street cars and pedestrians. Which existed. And we

Yup. This sentiment expresses quite clearly how Zig has no significant understanding or interest in being a language used for widely distributed applications, like video games. There's no way I can ship a binary that flags the scanners
