Quick writeup I made discussing my method when it comes to vectorizing an existing piece of code.

That's exactly what I was thinking. When I read "CSC: Game Engine Programming" I was like, "oh shit, someone's offering a degree specializing in engines!?". I feel like a semester is barely enough to skim even

The thing that always amuses me when I read articles like this is that the things they point out as differentiating the language are usually, at best, small time-savers. 1. the lack of nullable types I very rarely write these bugs, and when

I ascribe to the notion that 'comments are apologies' (to my future self). If a piece of code is weird, or slow, or you'd say "yeah, it's kinda janky" when describing to somebody, I usually write a comment abou

Somewhat of a nitpick.. > The acronym is misleading because "immediate-mode" was initially coined as a reference to obsolete graphics API which made it very easy to render contents. Is that actually true? From what I remember

This is one of the best "programming advice" posts I've ever read, right up there with the grug brained developer.

That's a great name for that property. I've always cringed when people say 'something something decoupling' because most of the time the end result is actually just as coupled, but ends up indirected or something. Now

In my experience, GC'd languages leak much more frequently because people figure 'oh, the GC will take care of it for me.' There are excellent tools for detecting memory leaks/safety issues in C, and you can even write a

It's definitely true. Memory allocation takes a very small percentage of my time. I'd guess < 1%. Debugging memory issues used to take me more time, but these days it's basically inconsequential, too. Having written inte

The engine's completely bespoke; I wrote everything from the memory allocators and the font rasterizer to the renderer and level editor. Source code is available online, and there's a discord for those interested. Github : https:

I'm sorry, but I've got to call this out as woefully inaccurate. > [...] so you can handle the event loop in a sane way. The whole point of an immediate-mode framework is that the call-stack acts as the event loop. You run thr
