The alt combinations do not work on Windows, and I believe they don't on most (all?) Linuxes either. On my phone or I'd provide the equivalents.

Not sure that very many european languages are derived from it in any form other than it's alphabet (and even then its fairly removed). I could be wrong (this is well outside my area of expertise), but I think maybe you're thinkin

Thought so too, but then I took a look at the code.

This definitely depends on who you're talking to.

Well, it's not a libc (although it seems to contain one).

Yeah this is pretty unfortunate. Sadly, having played through the puzzles that involve color, it's not superficial at all. The puzzles are fundamentally about how colors work and combine. There isn't an obvious way to make a color

This level of polish would be somewhat herculean to pull off in unity, and was not even close to possible when the game's development was started 8 or so years ago. Unreal maybe, but it also wasn't as viable a choice 8 years ago.

Pretty much no software high performance software has gotten there by not thinking about performance/optimization until the end. IME what you do is you structure your program so that the optimizations you suspect you will need to make

If you write in C you are probably fine for code size. Usage of the c++ stdlib can easily cause a lot of code bloat though if you are not careful, but I don't actually know how bad this gets (it used to be quite bad for native apps). T

These are totally fine most of the time. Typescript in particular looks like a good choice for game development. Sometimes the language is less of a good choice. E.g. i did a small toy project in coffeescript about two years ago, and found

Yep, and often the code that breaks what the comment says is far away. Too easy to change something that subtly invalidates a comment in some other module. Especially if you didn't write that module.

As someone with two Unity WebGL games in production, I wouldn't recommend this route. A fairly small game (~20kloc, so not a toy by any stretch, but small nonetheless) has 26mb of JavaScript code exported This kills the browser. Only g

That's basically what I mean by 'pretty much but not really javascript'.

Closure compiler advanced mode is an optimizing compiler that will perform several nontrivial transformations while also making your source smaller. Uglify is a minifier, and just makes your source smaller. Apples and oranges comparison. Of

Except that you can easily go from std::string to cstring and back in the same program. And many of the standard library functions work fine on c strings (probably over half of <algorithm>), etc. IMO theres no compatibility issue betw

Does Chrome still use SwiftShader? I've tried on a reasonably large number of machines to verify this, with no luck. Including machines that have blacklisted GPUs. It's clear that there seems to be some cases where it kicks in (or

What potential security vulnerability do inline styles have?

As someone who has written a lot of C++ (and essentially no rust), I think you're mischaracterizing C++. It has a lot of magic that the compiler does for you under the hood, and even more if you are using libraries. If you want to unde

As someone in the games industry, I don't see anybody moving towards either of these languages over C++, or really even any excitement over them. I'd be very surprised if Rust displaces C++ here, and put the chance of Go doing so

You'll probably learn more if you choose Rust, but from what I've seen, way more companies use Go at the moment (since you mentioned this was from a career perspective).

I think it's mostly that C's lack of language features removes distractions. You have only a couple abstractions to work with if you're writing idiomatic C code, and so you can focus on the task at hand more easily. The trade

This is just sweeping the problem under the rug. Round would probably be a better choice for them, but it wouldn't solve the problem, since you can't get rid of that discontinuity. Generally a good rule of thumb is that unless you

MPL is pretty different IIRC. Must open source modified files, or something along those lines

Not that I've used Asesprite, and since its completely possible to avoid this I might be just spreading FUD or something, but one reason to avoid using something like SDL, Allegro, SFML, GLFW, etc, for a desktop application is that the

It's easier to fix those than extract a dependency or remove bloat.

I don't think "simple and use a single set of rules" describes the control code for any shipping (action) game. At least none I've worked on. They're all complex piles of special cases and hacks in an effort to mak

Does RAF really run at 144hz on those monitors? That's surprising... and means I probably need to fix some code before those get more common.

I'm honestly curious, do you know of any games that remained commercially successful after open sourcing, without having some secondary meta-game source of income (multiplayer servers, f2p, etc.) Eldritch, I know is, but I'm not s
