@sinbad indeed, I’m just grinning and baring it atm, but deep inside I’m not happy

Downloaded sdl3, setup project, compiled and ran - window popped up, profit! The most annoying part was using cmake which I’m trying to force myself to use against my better judgement. Next up is either vulkan or sdl3 gpu learning or both.

@sinbad @tattlemuss @neilhenning I used to be a night owl, oh times have changed :)

@tattlemuss @neilhenning same here, but I need a break. Remind yourselfs, health is priority one, and the projects will still be there when you are recharged.

@sinbad I was considering how long I could get away with not upgrading my phone and tablet to the latest iOS AI infested release, and then I realised both devices were too old to have access to said AI features allegedly - so not has my reluctance to upgrade said devices, since they are fast enough, saved me money, but it’s helping to protect me from AI shenanigans. Win win.

@slembcke @neilhenning @sinbad @molecularmusing 100% - I switch it off completely.

@sinbad I went for a game dev interview in 94 ish and did okay in the talkie part, and then I passed over some Amiga disks that had some bits I’d written but none of them loaded… could have sworn I tested them, maybe the car I travelled in was a giant magnet. I didn’t get the job.

@slembcke @AngryAnt @Nifflas @mcc git is the source control system that makes perforce look very good.

@AngryAnt @slembcke @Nifflas @mcc could be worse, we could all be using SourceSafe :)

I made a bold statement recently that I was going to use rust to prototype a new game idea, but I’ve temporarily paused that idea. I’m still tinkering with rust, but I need something more familiar to prototype with faster.. I could always switch back later.

I’m still slowly progressing my Cish based game (pretending to be an engine) which is fun but also a bit slow.

I was tempted to try unity/dots but I’m not sure how much I’d gel with it.. I also like I see code I’m using.

Anyone using dots?
