@Tyyppi_77 The owner gets a unique_ptr and the rest keeps a raw pointer. m_Child should probably be a CEntity* in the second case because the level owns the entity.

@Tyyppi_77 sounds fun

:)

So I just got back from the M+Dev game dev conference & I'm starting my follow-ups. Is there any protocol about reaching out via LinkedIn? I don't have a pro account, so I can't send regular mail, just personalized invites. But I'm not necessarily expecting others to link me. And the invite has a low char # cap, so there's not a lot of room for what to say. Thoughts?

@Josh As a platform, it certainly has a history squandered opportunities. In one specific case, it's how I was asked to reach out. If you had presented & were expecting attendees to follow-up on your talk, how would you prefer / expect them to get in touch?

If they remember who you are, and invite is basically like adding a friend on facebook

if they don't remember you, it's like being added by a fake profile on Facebook except the fake profile is probably a recruiter trying to expand their network

@Josh I agree, and I only have one because my university and then my previous employers required one.

I could delete it today, probably, and not miss anything.

@Pikalek I'd just invite them and say "Hi, it's XYZ from the ABC presentation."

And try to arrive at other communication platforms like email ASAP

@doppelspooker Yeah, I try to get my email in there if at all possible. I just hope that the platform isn't censoring it out in an attempt to 'encourage' use of their paid features.

Sounds reasonable.

why not a CEntity * Level::getNewEntity() function

Hello!

@TheMattbat999 'llo

How are ya Gregor?

@DMGregory ^

Very well thanks. :) Just put in my order for some Starlink spaceships to play with at home. :D

How are you today?

Good. Wishing I had an artist to do the art for my game....

Cause I suck at it

One effective way I've seen that addressed in the past is to pick a visual style that doesn't need highly detailed art. ;)

I am trying that. I just have a hard time with even simple art.

And shading

And making them not look like Telletubbies

Teletubbies is a fucking weird-ass show man.

Exactly, @Almo. And my 3d models looked kinda like them
