"I only need an X and Y variable, nothing more. Only this one time, never used again. I could just declare them and be fine... Or I could wrap it in an typedef struct and write _new() and _delete() functions for it
Running into a big limitation of Raylib. It only support very simple 3d animation. It can't do blending between animations (like walk -> run). Hopefully this is on their roadmap. I'm having a lot of fun with Raylib but I don't think I could release a game with it, even a small toy game, mostly due to the animation issue. I'm going to write a blog post about my experience with raylib.
@grumpygamer I once played with SDL_gpu and used nothing except SDL, so no extender libs.
And I had this feature because I just wrote it and it was surprisingly easy.
The issue with such libraries is, they often cover things you won't need 90% of the time, but have to be written/made in a way it supports these.
Often the solution is surprisingly simple, implementing it in a general way everyone can use it for every product isn't. But I only care about my very own game so it works for me^^
The problem with ditching services like Discord or Google Docs or Dropbox isn't me, I'm happy to do it. It's everyones I need to work with. They aren't going to join my self-hosted service just to exchange work files or chat, etc. I've tried.
I will never understand why printf() doesn't support printing binary when you can print hex and octal. It seems like programmer back in the 70s would have need binary as well.
Anyone who responds with some alt printf library gets a block. It's rhetorical question. I'm not looking for an alt method.
My favorite quote from a Death by Scrolling review.
"There’s also one or two people that think Ron should just keep making adventure games and to that I say, fuck off. People can do more than one thing in life."
If you bought Death by Scrolling and are enjoying it, please give it a thumbs up on Steam. A lot of people have bought it thinking it's yet another Vampire Surviver clone and it's not so they leave crappy reviews. Death by Scrolling is a very different game for a different audience.
@grumpygamer
These days people think there is only like 3-types of games and when you make something different, you're doing it wrong.
I already planned that the steam page for my game will show an interview with me telling the audience, they will probably not like my game and should not buy it until they are really sure it's for them, followed by an explanation of the game.
@grumpygamer I just played it yesturday to show my wife how amazing the soundtrack with an MT-32 (cough Emulator cough) sounds. imho better than the current remaster. Nothing beats the original+MT-32
I'm looking for a few native Japanese speakers to join the Death By Scrolling beta test. "I learned Japanese by reading Manga" isn't good enough. DM me for fun.
Today, we’re ready to show you the upcoming quote posts feature in more detail. We’ve put together a blog post with examples of how quote posts will work on Mastodon, ahead of early access on our own servers next week 💬 Full launch to come, in Mastodon v4.5
@Gargron
@Mastodon Hmm not sure if i like that or not :D very ambivalent about that.
Usually i mute people because i am not interested or annoyed by their content. If other people share it, i'll see a comment out of context that probably makes no sense anymore
Something like "This is a good idea" and then you just don't see what idea is supposed to be good
Unten erstreckt sich über ein Viertel des hochformatigen Bildes hinweg eine kosmische Wolke in warmen Farben und mit turbulenten Strukturen. Ein wenig davon ragt auch oben rechts an der Bildecke in die Aufnahme. Gleich aber hinzugefügt: Solche Wolken aus kleinsten Teilchen können sich zwar verdichten und so neue Sterne produzieren. Sie sind aber vor Ort zunächst mal längst nicht so massiv, wie das hier - fast wie ein "Gebirge" aus Dampf und Rauch - wirkt. Darüber auf blauem Hintergrund unzählige Sterne als weiße Punkte und auch einige wenige Sterne, die von Strahlen umgeben sind; allerdings sind diese Strahlen lediglich Artefakte, die durch die Bauweise des Teleskops verursacht werden. Vielleicht noch ein Satz zu den Farben: Es handelt sich wie oft bei solchen Infrarot-Aufnahmen um künstlich erzeugte Falschfarben, die Fachleuten unterschiedliche chemische Elemente und unterschiedliche Materiedichten anzeigen.
Adding new text that will make the translators sad because they thought they were done.
player: "Fancy meeting you in the afterlife, McDoodle."
mcdoodle: "It's not really me, it's just the ghost of my broken dreams."
player: "Either way, it's nice to see you."
@grumpygamer At least you can just write text^^ i decided for an custom-built font-rendering that uses byte-code^^ i have to "compile" my strings first^^
@grumpygamer I tested several AI for writing code. They all suck, every single one of them. The code is horrendously bad, inconsistent, inefficient, mixes old with new standards, wastes RAM and CPU, overomplexely solves simple issues and whatnot. I heard some people praise AI for it's code quality, I'm fine with that. That way I instantly know "Ah okay, you suck at coding" and can move on without wasting my time.
Kaleidoscope, the excellent diff tool on the Mac is now predatory subscription software. I use it three of four times a year, I am not paying $8/month for that. Shame on them and shame on you if you make subscription software that doesn't have a need to be just because you think your a poor dev that need to milk customers. Charge a reasonable price and don't race to the bottom.
To be fair, you can't really blame them that hard. The whole Apple ecosystem is about milking customers and turning even devs into consumers. To them, you showed your willingness to pay unreasonable prices the moment you bought a Apple product to begin with, they know their customers and they are successful doing so.
People throw their money at them, why should they not take it? Lets be honest, they would be stupid not taking the money.
@grumpygamer Actual Mac Software? Not Linux/OpenSource Software that just also runs on macOS?
It still does exist, but it is rare and is getting rarer as the Apple ecosystem is optimized to feed greediness.
Even the Anki App, that is OpenSource and Free on every platform, costs 35$ on iOS. Apple attracts greediness like a dungheap attracts flies and people are willingly throwing their money with both hands on the heap so the flies keep coming.
@grumpygamer Human Players are and probably will always be the most important in game dev.
But it's an unspoken truth that it's the same for every software. You're not allowed to say that out loud though because there is a whole industry behind replacing the need for people and some companies pay 6-7 figure numbers for automated systems and probably some CTO or higher manager requested the Implementation.
Questioning the capabilities of such systems means questioning the CTO
I'm getting a Steam cloud sync conflict when running Death By Scrolling and can't seem to fix it. Steam doesn't show me a window to resolve it. I can't find anything in Steam to fix it. I just want my local file to be used? Steam doesn't tell me what the conflict is? Nothing. I find it annoying then software just says there is an error and no information.
@grumpygamer I feel you, it was an conscious decision that I will not add any steam exclusive features to my game. It will be released on steam for the people who enjoy putting themselves in chains, but nothing more.
I remember being unable to start the steam client for 6 weeks with the support being no help. Found out that they are starting a local webserver and I blocked that using a firewall rule. No error message from the client that would me helped finding that, pure pain
I have to updates my Mac's OS. This always terrifies me. Several years ago an OSX updated bricked my machine. This close to Death By Scrollings release this would not be a good thing. Yes, I've backed up, etc, etc. Don't be a reply guy unless you have a secret way the upgrade will work 100% of the time.
@grumpygamer Godot needs ton of memory/CPU/GPU too even to Display an 320*240 image on screen.
I tried playing around with Godot a bit but decided to write my own engine in the end. Godot is not as wasteful as Unity/Unreal but it still wastes tons of resources to archive the simplest things.
I am Cross-Testing my game in an Windows VM without 3D support (because Linux VMs are too fast, even without 3D, due to LLVM) and most performance issues instantly pop up there
Wie fühlt sich Isolation im All an? 👨🚀 Die ESA-Studie SOLIS8 hat genau das getestet: 6 Teilnehmende lebten 8 Tage abgeschottet – ohne Tageslicht, mit striktem Zeitplan, 2 Duschzeiten pro Woche und täglichem Training. Im :envihab, dem DLR-Zentrum für Raumfahrtmedizin in Köln, wurden Gesundheit & Verhalten der Proband/innen rund um die Uhr überwacht. Die Erkenntnisse fließen in die 100-Tage-Isolationsstudie SOLIS100 ein, die kommendes Jahr durchgeführt wird. Würdet ihr? ℹ️: https://s.dlr.de/solis8

Die sechs Teilnehmenden hatten keinen Kontakt zur Außenwelt
Das Modul M5, in dem die SOLIS8-Studie stattfand und die SOLIS100-Studie durchgeführt werden wird, wurde speziell für Langzeitstudien am Menschen in einer künstlich kontrollierten, isolierten und begrenzten Umgebung entwickelt. Das Modul kann von bis zu sechs Personen bewohnt werden.
@grumpygamer Hence i develop games with SDL. There is nothing more you really need (Everything else is comfort) and you can make RPG Masterpieces with 40h playtime within 3mbyte
Why is the Blue Prince available on Xbox and PS but not Switch? It's not like Switch is hard (or even underpowered) so I'm curious what the decision process was? Is it related to being on Game Pass and Plus? Normally these platform don't require exclusivity and when they do it's usually with each other.
Warum ist Cybersicherheit im Gesundheitswesen wichtig?
Wir haben KI gefragt – und die Antwort sitzt: „Weil Angriffe direkte Auswirkungen auf medizinische Geräte und Systeme haben können und somit Leben gefährden.“
Fakt ist: Ohne digitale Technik geht in Kliniken, Arztpraxen und im Rettungsdienst nichts mehr.
Deshalb muss Cybersicherheit im Gesundheitswesen immer mitgedacht werden.
Grünblaue Grafik mit cyberartigen Zahlen-Hintergrund, dunkelgrün-bläulichen Textblöcken und einem Roboter-Icon. Der Text auf der linken Seite, in weißer Schrift, wie in einem Chat-Gespräch lautet:
"Hallo KI, warum ist Cybersicherheit im Gesundheitswesen so wichtig?"
"Weil Angriffe direkte Auswirkungen auf medizinische Geräte und Systeme haben können und somit Leben gefährden."
Der Erklärtext auf der rechten Seite, in weißer Schrift:
Ob Klinik, Arztpraxis oder Rettungsdienst - unser Gesundheitssystem ist auf digitale Systeme angewiesen. Verwundbare IT gefährdet nicht nur Patientendaten, sondern auch Medikamentenlieferungen, Einsätze oder die Notfallkommunikation. Der Schutz medizinischer Systeme und Kritischer Infrastrukturen (KRITIS) im Gesundheitswesen ist eine Frage des Vertrauens - und im Ernstfall des Überlebens.
@bsi ich hab gestern die KI gebeten mir die dbSPL anhand von verschiedenen werten zu berechnen. Das Ergebnis hat nicht gestimmt.
Beim zweiten Versuch (Identischer prompt) dann plötzlich schon. Als ich gefragt habe wo die Diskrepanz her kam, bekam ich als Antwort dass ich bis das vielleicht falsch gemerkt/notiert hab...
Bei nem Würfelspiel hat sie irgendwann nur noch 7er gewürfelt 23x in Folge)
Immer sehr vertrauenswürdig diese KI, hat man direkt gar keine Zweifel an der Antwort.

@kdeKDE Sadly the Steam Deck stopped existing in Japan since quite some time. Not sure if they come back with a newer model, but the current model is dead here.
Luckily i can just use my MiniPC with Ryzen7 with Archlinux+KDE+Steam =)
So, this has been in the works for a while, arguably most of last year. I intend to transfer my personal ownership of the Mastodon trademarks and assets, incl. copyright over my code, to the Mastodon non-profit, and transition to a different role at the organization.
@Gargron it would not exist, that is the simple answer. Mastodon exists because you are the way you are. If you would not be an introvert, there probably would be no Mastodon to begin with.
Also no CEO knows magic anyway and often has less influence than people think. Did Google+ fail because the CEO wasn't good enough?
If someone else would have done it better, he would have done it, there would be no question about it. Your existence didn't prevent anyone from doing it and still nobody did
