Guy seems a bit new to C. pointers-to-structs ARE pointers-to-objects. That's the default way to operate on objects in a huge amount of code. Don't use strncpy(), if it hits the limit it doesn't end the copy with NUL, causin

You'll lose the most time on the rough edges of each thing, the one or two minor things you didn't get around to solving on each effectively stack as the pieces are expected to work together. It's like multiplying probabilit

This whole business has had few conceptual ideas that stand apart from fashion and stood the tests of time. A lot of people look down on C now for various reasons, but it's still extremely useful and going strong 50+ years later. Eve

I use NoScript, if you browse the linked page with JS disabled by default, it says "May 19, 2021" at the end. If you allow JS for "thefp.com", it is indeed updated to today's date.

At the bottom of the article, it says May 19, 2021 > why would you lie Yeah that should perhaps suggest to you that the person you are addressing is not "lying".

This medium post seems incomplete, half of it is how serious the denunciation is but the only point given is that it's supposed to be slow. It's not that slow since you can run quake with it https://quake.m-h.org.uk&#x2

You're right, I also mark array definitions as const to control the section they go in, I was thinking about things like const int a = 5; ... anything I want a simple const var for is done with #define for me. const is indeed viral whe

It wasn't clear to me if he's talking about const as a variable declaration qualifier - I never used it - or const in pointer types, which is very useful.

In isolation, they're not crazy. But much C code is bringing in library headers which contain their author's own pet choices for these, which inevitably are not the same and the result is extremely confusing when you have that in

I am suggesting confirming if it is actually "slow" for the "key aspects". You and the OP are just assuming it can't do whatever it is at "30fps"... if you're right, it will only take ten minutes if i

Yeah. The OP should spend a day or two making HTML5 prototypes for the key aspects and see if it's really true that it's "slow". The UI is not the hot code, it's the audio mixing. So long as the audio mising is fau
