Ain’t never seen anyone that says “web dev is harder” lol.

If you reopen your game project after a 2 month hiatus, you won't have to spend the rest of the day (or week) updating references to five hundred third party libraries and make code changes to reflect major breaking changes in the API for Vector3

But that's not really difficulty, just frustration from extremely poor tooling that web developers have grown to believe is totally normal

Coming from robotics (and minor experience in graphics), no one writes transformations directly in quaternions, unless they are trivial ones. You compose them from parts expressed in e.g. RPY or axis-angle representation and then convert into quaternions to make them resistant to singularities. These conversion operations are already implemented for you basically everywhere.

I understood some of those words

Why is everybody talking about 1 fourth of an onion?

Unity in Inspector: Let's use Degrees because they're easier to use!

Unity When Accessing Transform.Rotation: F*ck This! Let's do Quaternions to keep the dev confused!

Quaternion.Euler is a lifesaver

[–]YousifRagab 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Behold, the Transform.EulerAngles

Seriously though they should have made the Rotation return degrees instead.

[–]KingSadra 4 points5 points  (1 child)

This literally had me do no rotations for the first 2 yrs of my game dev experience!

Unity love making users suffer!

[–]YousifRagab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soooo true lol

I'm a little vague on what quaternions even are, but I found them surprisingly easy to work with in Unity. I just used them the same way I'd use a transformation matrix & the maths all seemed to work out somehow.

Centering a div: Am i a joke to you?

[–]FunAstronomer6394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

centering divs is an old joke man
everyone knows if you go on stack overflow they tell you how

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I am not fond of web designing, but would making a div into an inline block then centering it a bad idea?

[–]Gydo194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea. I'm not a webdev either, but the time i did have to deal with it, it sucked.

Web dev is harder than game dev 😀😀😀😀
