@purpleidea I'm not defending megacorps generally, not by a long shot. I'm only saying exactly what I wrote: employees of megacorporations are more constructive participants in the community on average compared to individuals with a Patreon account.

(This post is not about Rust in Linux or the Asahi folks)

1. Appeal to a kernel maintainer to approve your changes in their subsystem, they say no
2. Complain about them to a general public which has no stake in the matter or domain knowledge about it
3. The gatekeeper is still in charge of the gate and now they don't like you
4. ????

Hot take, megacorp employees are better Linux kernel community members than randos with a Patreon

@nikitonsky we just want cars to have buttons for fuck's sake

Implemented chunk re-tesselation, performance is quite good. FPS about double that of vanilla Minecraft on my machine. Here's a short video walking around my test server near sunset for your enjoyment.

I removed the ability to run betamine without connecting to a server, so all future screenshots/videos will be of betamine connected to a vanilla Minecraft server (until I implement a server myself).

I think #harelang is pretty good for game development 😃

Maybe a fun thing to do in the foreseeable future would be audio. Probably should wait until some basic physics are there since the physics engine will be an obvious place to ask "what sort of block is at the player's feet"

Short re-tesselation demo, have a vanilla Minecraft client running on the other monitor placing these blocks

@fijxu let me know how it goes :)

@fijxu yep, forgot to push. Fixed!

@fijxu need my Hare patch:

https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/hare-dev/patches/55954

@fijxu you also need my hare-glm fork: https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/hare-glm

Stuff that would make sense to implement soonish:

* Re-tesselation chunks are updated
* Basic physics so you don't float above the ground
* Chat messages
* Rendering other players/entities
* HUD, i.e. health and hotbar
* Interacting with blocks (mining and placing blocks)

Currently just shy of 8,000 lines of code

Not working on this every day anymore so expect updates to be slower :)

better

wut

Second test house looking better as a result

There we go. Spent most of my day learning to use Blender and import the results into betamine but it was time well spent
