The comments are great but for me it's old-style c makes it hard to follow, it uses lots of short var names that are forward declared, doesn't pass length with char* arrays, etc. But I don't want to criticise any particular t

Browsing the source of games like Nethack and Battle for Wesnoth (around a decade ago) opened my eyes - sometimes code quality can seem poor but the product can be great. Blender is another one that seems very ramshackle and complex. I won&

Yep! We've got lots of great artists here. I met him once, shortly after he did the Simpsons intro piece.

I disabled cross-grain and drape and it billowed and exploded: https://twitter.com/eigenbom/status/738887973559668736 Not sure if bug or if those parameters are not in the space of valid options. Cool project btw!

Came to HN just to check this. Are the APIs down too?

The death of c++ in many universities could be blamed a little on the hurdles you have to jump to create something windowed and interactive (what many would consider a "program"). I saw that happen at my university between 2000-20

Ahh, I didn't check the publication date. That explains a bit, c++ has had some big changes in the last 6 years.

Always fun to see projects like this, but I don't get some of the motivations. Regarding the code examples: // c++ AutoFile file("c:/temp/foo.txt", "w"); fprintf(file, "Hello, world&

So awesome! I added a flanging dancing circle thing. I ran a 'write a game in a tweet' challenge last year, was super fun and had heaps of creative entries (mostly javascript). https://twitter.com/eigenbom/sta

I look forward to Facebook Actions. Instead of just poking imagine what else you can do..

I'm excited for Jai, and if it ever makes it out into the world I look forward to building some games with it. However, I just see C++ continuing to get better and better for games programming. The recent appearance of the Core Guideli

I have this issue occasionally, switching between sf::Vector2, b2Vec2, gVec2, etc. Something like drawLine({v.x,v.y},{w.x,w.y}) usually works in a lot of these cases, but I don't mind explicitly converting between representations in or

I can see so much potential for this. For example, if you don't want to solely distribute on Steam but want an auto-update feature then it'll be a lot easier with AWS. Not C++ specific, but I'm hopeful that we'll see som

Unless your comment also applies to novels and films I suspect you haven't got a clear idea about what games are.

Hi to all the other solo devs out there! I've been building http://moonman.io/ mostly by myself for 4 years now, writing all the code (roughly 100k lines of c++) as well as creating all the earlier art and design. Earl

Your library looks pretty neat, but I have an aversion to boost too. I love that c++ is slowly absorbing the best bits so I can detach myself from it -- it's a great library but is just so monolithic. And whenever I need a non-header-o
