Well after years of programming, I've hit my first runtime error that provides no info , the code fails prior to being able to generate an error so this is fucking fine :-)

And of course, the one time I need stack overflow, it tells you to initialise the class with data... Yet the class doesn't contain a fucking constructor... Smiley face

Jumping from using nothing but Vala after a month going to CSS and HTML was not my smartest idea...

Don't suppose anyone has experience with a pinebook pro?

Finally giving up hope on my chromebook and working on my game engine using the Linux VM built in is just getting slower and slower...

Trying to get some opinions before I put down $360 to get one imported .-.

So currently working on a basic game engine written in Vala using SDL, fuck me it is such a rabbit hole!

Have a basic renderer and and was using the default SDL frame rate manager and decided to write my own so I could knock out using the SDL gfx package.

So now I have to create a window manager and renderer manager just to handle a basic framerate manager that isn't completely negated by VSYNC....

So.. You can't boot into recovery and wipe the partition? Like I have done multiple times on my macbook?

All I want to do is open 1 fucking port... Why does my router have to make this so fucking difficult!

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
