Might be premature - we're only a couple of days into using it, but I wanna toss out a mention to SHADERed - it's kinda like VS but for shaders. I like the dev tools & the ability to hammer out drop in ready code.

Yeah, I'm impressed how quickly the community handles it. Often it's gone before the site mods even see it.

I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and etc...

Also, no stress. It's the spammers making work for us, not you. You do more than your fair share of civic upkeep already, and it's greatly appreciated!
Nov 20, 2024 07:36
yes, but posting code, asking politly, writing what was tried already, what it should do, what it is currently doing, any error that is thrown and if needed some screenshot usually gets you a good answer

Hi folks, just a quick PSA that the "Not an Answer" flag should be used for things that need moderator intervention, like someone posting a question/edit/reply as an answer in error, or an answer that's link-only, completely off topic, or just gibberish. An answer that is actually giving advice about the problem, that is bad/unhelpful/insufficiently detailed in your assessment, should be met with a down-vote rather than a flag.

to be honest, you can have version control and still have the "wtf was I thinking when I created this code"

@Arvex Asking about game engines themselves isn't a problem, but the nature of some questions are problematic. Asking things like which engine is best for X often ends up being a matter of opinion which something that generally doesn't work well here.

That's also a feature: API obscurity rhymes with job security! :P

Usually I go for 1920x1080 unless I have reason to expect a different size (e.g. recently designing for an arcade cabinet with a 5:4 resolution). The Steam Hardware Survey still finds ~58% of users are on this res, with 2560x1440 at 18% and single digits or decimals for everything else.

my best success was using it as an ai in a card board game. All the agent got as input were all valid moves it could take per round, from there it had to figure out how to win the game

@Vaillancourt Not really, I found that it's more important to choose a team of people you like rather than a project you like.

@fido9dido If your code is too large to expect volunteers to review, then you might want to consider hiring a paid consultant, or establishing a mentoring relationship with a specific developer whose insight you want to learn from.

Leading practice is to design for remappable controls from the start, so if a player doesn't like the defaults, or has a disability that makes them uncomfortable, difficult, or impossible to perform, they can change them to something that works for them. Consider allowing a mode toggle or modifier key in addition to the right click scheme.

I just got V8 of Rocks up. Details in the discord if anyone is interested. Now has levels and lives.

The level set of a function is the set of x,y pairs where the function achieves a particular value. If we're using alpha testing with a cutoff threshold of a=0.5, the level set where alpha hits exactly that value becomes the dividing line between opaque and transparent rendering: between the fragments we keep and the fragments we discard.

In thinking through this, maybe it would be helpful to see the kinds of questions be asked?

I've put together a quick Notion page with some questions I ripped directly off from the discord forums only in the VRChat server.

The best way to get happy surprises is to expect 0 download, 0 ads displayed and 0 revenue :P

A message from over 3 weeks ago is still on the starboard. This is unacceptable. Time to spew hot takes to fix that.

Is there a markdown editor (preferably on-line, widows portable app would be okay too I guess) that has mathjax support? I thought I recalled someone sharing a link at one point, but can't find it. I thought I'd cut my way through some more of the entries for convertion posted in meta. But I don't always have time to do an complete post in one pass & dislike doing the cut & paste dance to & fro local files.

Can we sue the graphic design SE folks for also using the acronym "GDSE"?

@user16217248 Here's the official help on question bans and highly upvoted meta answer about question bans. If there is any additional secret sauce, I don't imagine that mods are going to be able to disclose information about it.
