@DMGregory Hep, I stand corrected!

Mmm?

The edit of the edit :)

w.r.t. the wayback machine

Ah, yeah. I find the wayback machine can be a bit slow sometimes, so I figured Unity's archive might be better for the time being.

Oh, well if Unity has it, yes, we should use Unity's version!

I'm not clear on the "minor" digit in unity's versioning system, though; e.g. is "2019.3" enough, or is the .5 really needed?

Probably not. The second decimal is usually bugfixes and the like, not API changes.

Yes, that's the common practice. Not sure if Unity follows it, though. /shrug.

@Vaillancourt is it though? In my experience bugfixes are the third number. the second is new features. the first is incompatible changes

@dot_Sp0T yes, that's what I thought too.

Some us the third or forth number as a buildnr tho

@dot_Sp0T yes, I suppose it's easier to use that for internal tracking.

Marketing uses the first three numbers, while the dev team uses the last one.

@dot_Sp0T its harder

what can you possibly write that wasnt written already?

oh wow, it's that again.

what?

why its a good example of something that was already done?

You don't need to invent new stuff to make something good and noteworthy. You don't need to create your own thing to be able to show projects you worked on (e.g. most open-source projects live from people contributing instead of reinventing; e.g. GLFW which is the basis for many game-frameworks). If you think that people ahve to do new stuff to make good stuff, why does call of duty still sell?

@0x00004 because it's the umpteenth javascript UI framework

The notion of having to invent new stuff to prove your own worth is so wrong

society would not be where we are if everybody always only made new stuff instead of improving old stuff

@Tyyppi_77 because it s framework?

tool for developers not an application for users

In game development you have more room for building something new than in other fields i guess

yes kind of

Thats what i like about gamedev. Even beginners can build something new.

yeah i guess

@dot_Sp0T yes but it can be less motivating to write something that was already done unless you really into it

@0x00004 then better not think of the idea that everything has been done already. Imagine if writers go like: oh no I can't write a fantasy novel, Tolkien already did all of it

now that you mentioned that i d say that eventually you ll have to create something new so in my opinion its better to start doing that early
