Where i work it's a sausage fest

But are also quite scarce

Where all the introverts at?

Wives, gf's.... what happened to the programmer stereotype?

@jgallant alright, thanks.

Would posting a question seeking more elegant alternatives to something I've implemented be considered a bad question?

@Tyyppi_77 just close the issue as "Works for me" and be done :P

Yeah from my experience with my crappy laptop, windowed/borderless takes more toll than fullscreen

What's up?

Yo

cool... cool

What's up?

Greetings

@JoshPetrie I'll do that. Thanks for the help

bah, time to recheck everything

rendering is still somewhat twitchy, even though the framerate is a stable 60fps

I think i might be looking at the wrong solution, or moreover assuming the wrong issue

right :)

nah, i'm using longs

anyway, so far it seems to be more stable, however i'm wondering if i should worry about dealing with such large numbers and scaling them in such a way

because while rendering my entities were twitchy

i meant that i've converted dt from decimal (seconds) to long (nanoseconds)

yeah, i guess i've used every wrong term

hmm

because when i had dt in seconds, that is, fractions of seconds, entities were twitching during rendering which i attributed to rounding errors

to avoid rounding errors I've decided to have my dt in nanoseconds, however now when interpolating positions during render (as per fixed timestep guidelines) i have to multiply dt by 10^-9

I've got a question regarding delta time, more specifically fixed point delta time

greetings

@MickLH Well I guess that's it for my rap career then

Thanks for the ideas. Now I'm off to code. See ya

@FuzzyLogic dynamic quadtree?

@FuzzyLogic yes

@Tyyppi_77 yeah I've thought of merging the adjacent tiles as well, however for starters I'm trying to do ti as simple as possible since certain terrain will be breakable so I'd have to split the merged tiles back

and for every object position which is within a certain distance from the player, a body will be placed

I'm thinking of creating an "object space" array which would contain the positions of every object in the game world, then I'd query this object space on each game loop iteration with the players current position

I'm thinking of using quadtrees, however I'm not quite solid on the implementation details

anyway, I've got some fairly large maps (generated) and I'm using Box2D for physics. Since it'd be an overkill to create a body for every single tile on the map I'm thinking of creating a body pool and dynamically place/move bodies within a certain radius from the player.

No, i'll delegate

but what if it's lemon flavored?

that's a good suggestion

If anyone has a moment, I'd like a suggestion

sounds good?

have an asset loader which spawns a new thread for loading, and before initializing the asset system call the asset loader and show a loading screen until the asset loader reports it's done

ok, I'll externalize asset loading, get it outside the asset system where it is now located

anyone got any ideas from my vague description?

I'd like to show a screen while it's loading but my screen management is separate from ECS and I've got no idea as to how to either convert screens management to a system or how to get them to work together

and with a bunch of resources it takes a bit to load

however it's all single threaded

I have an asset system which loads resources, and sprite render and map build systems depend on it

Welp, I'm somewhat stuck
