@bjoreman This paper is gold.

We're likely going to hire at least one more developer at Kilohearts soon. No formal job listing yet, but if you're interested or know someone who might be a good fit let me know!

We're primarily oriented around C++, and GUI/graphics or audio experience is valuable. Kilohearts is based in Linköping, Sweden.

@slembcke It's the worst.

@sinbad Yeah. Drawing, layout and overlap queries iterate but in tree order like you say, which may or may not be linear-ish depending on how the tree is created.

Continuing my UI experiments but in C++ land now.

Experimenting with an ECS-ish structure with data stored in separate arrays identified by id. Not sure it makes sense since most interaction with the data is not linear iterations, so I don't know how much data locality matters.

Currently putting the data in maps and I don't love having to worry about hash lookup being a cost. Could use array, but that comes with other issues.

Maybe should just go back to pointer tree of heterogenous objects.

@sinbad I haven't worked directly with games in 15 years, and when I did I first "just" worked on middleware and then on some not so fantastic online games and some cancelled stuff. I still feel like I used to "work with games" but I also feel like there is a big asterisk to it. 😬

@jwz @codinghorror I say I'm a big fan, but honestly I'm mostly into the two pre-Beautiful albums.

Beautiful Garbage has a special place in my heart for reasons very loosely related to the songs on it. Musically I don't hate it and it does have some songs I really like. World feels like a _very_ Beautiful-era song to me though. But I like it, it's really... extra.

The albums after that I've mostly listened through out of duty.

@jwz @codinghorror Tiga's phaser license should be revoked.

But are we just straight up posting hype music right now?

@jwz @codinghorror SORRY CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE FATAL SOUND OF BROKEN DREAMS

@jwz @codinghorror I'm a Garbage fan but "A View To A Kill" and "The Living Daylights" though.

The year is 2024. You want to write a cross platform desktop UI (not command line) application. What language and frameworks do you use?

Electron or otherwise browser based options disallowed for this particular hypothetical.
