Wait... Do people really think C is an accurate way to learn how a computer works... Please tell me it isn't so

So how is everyone's day going, me?

Well i'm silently screaming because I just finished building a long class only to find out im trying to extend a compact class .-.

Alright! so it's not much but my game engine is slowly gaining actually useful features, just finished implementing a basic sprite class that now renders basic sprites!

It may not be much but kind of proud at how well I have been able to just pick up Vala from scratch and start building something!

So turns out I've been off devrant for about a month... What did I miss?

PC component idea: a component that has build in memory that you can load up with a disc image file and have a software or hardware switch that you can use to have your BIOS detect whether it is in a DVD drive mode or Floppy risk drive mode so you can virtually mount ISO images for example and boot off of that device...

Niece but pls someone make

Tonights goal, boot fuchsia on my old Pixel 2 XL... Wish me luck!

(Please prepare yourself for some very drunken posts about a bricked phone)

So started building a game engine in Vala using SDL2, I have never built anything from scratch and decided to do it with no tutorials and just looking at the documentation on valadoc... So of course all of the pages for SDL2 and it's sub components show up fucking blank... Well isn't this dandy .-.

Excuse me github?

(I have literally no idea what has happened here)

Stay safe all my other Aussie Dev friends currently getting pelted with all the storms in the east...

(Yes we are still on fire for anyone who isn't Aussie)

So was walking through a display homes with my partner and found this gem...

Edit: I have no idea why this rotated

On the toilet at work after dealing with a cunt of a customer, decided fuck it, let's install termux, nano and do some shit in both ways

After using git for all this time... I still can never commit changes correctly .-.

OK so after working with SDL for a bit, we have a circle rendering!

Next step is to start working on keyboard input and then onto importing sprites, first time building a game engine from the ground up and working with Vala in this capacity...

EDIT: Gif in comments because it doesn't want to work .-.

Just spent a full fucking day working on a C binding for Vala to use GLFW as the main OpenGL entry point... Only to now discover that SDL has an already impimented OpenGL window class and allows for basic 2D operations...

Well that was time well fucking spent

Ok so it's not a good SSD for PC's then... Fucking hate how many YouTubers so this shit just for SEO

Oh Intel... You tried

Well I use GML so how do I start this?

Is anyone able to recommend a decent game engine that has an editor for Linux?

I've had a look at Defold and considered Unity but neither of them have usable UI's on Elementary OS.

Just looking for something to keeo me occupied till I can actually begin work on my custom engine...

The fact that the latest Linux kernel added support for 32 bit systems to function past 2038 is one of the most baffling things I've ever seen in development history... Not saying it's a bad thing... But.... Why

Give me strength people, I may have to have an install of stock ubuntu just to use unity because the UI is unusable on Elementary OS...

I feel dirty..

What a world we live in, I am equally excited for the Pinephone and Microsoft duo... I feel strange for loving them both

Decided it was time to grit my teeth and actually bunker down and learn a bit of C++...

Im 1 hour in and hinestly am not sure whether I hate Pyton or C++ more at this stage .-.

So decided to build a board game... Game?

It's hex grid based and I have spent a week trying to work out hex grid math and I am at the exact point I was when I started if not further back....

If anyone can recommend some good tutorials or articles for hex math. I will love you forever...

When people try to tell me that spaces are better than tabs and that PascalCase is better than snake_case :-3

Want some other opinions here, I personally use a 2018 13" MBP for my portable device and was thinking about selling it and getting the latest revision of the 13" once they change the keyboard...

I tried the 16" keyboard and holy shit it feels horrible, I honestly like the butterfly mechanism feel, has anyone else gotten so used to the butterfly?

Me: Alright, lets hammer out some Udemy courses...

*Opens course*

Instructer: So we are going to go ahead and download Code::Blocks

Me: *Audible sigh*

Same as every other year. Actually fucking finish something :-)

Look... No

The moment when NVIDIA realise they just compared there too of the line laptop chip to what is essentially a mid range device... I mean... The math checks out but you know... You compare nano to vim and you know what that looks like

So we work only with IPoE internet services and one of the blokes I trained sent me this...
