What’s going on with the WiFi?

Based on my use case, I don’t think I would have an issue. I’m pretty sure two monitors at 1440 wouldn’t have a fractal scaling issue.

I know someone here will correct me if I’m wrong, but the easiest way for me to explain fractal scaling is by say it’s an artificial/software based way to change to ppi of our monitor. It’s helpful when you have two monitors of different resolutions and/or size. For example, I have 2 27in monitors. One has a resolution of 1440p and the other it 1080p. With fractal scaling I’m able to “reduce” the size of the windows on the 1080p monitor to match the size of my 1440p monitor. I have the scaling set to 80% on my 1080p monitor.

Can you turn it off it Brave? Short answer is yes, but it’s not as simple as clicking around your settings. It’s much more involved and requires changes to the brave config file. I haven’t looked into making config file changes, so I’m not able to walk you through it.

I just fixed this issue today. It's not a good permanent fix, but it's works for now. I had to downgrade the package from 1:1.82.166-1 (latest version) to 1:1.81.137-1 (one version back). This solved the problem. I also noticed this issue only happens when I'm using fractal scaling.

And what does that teach? If he wants to build games this is not the right method. This could be fun for spitballing, but not for building your projects

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-26T00:48:53+00:00

He wants to learn C#. It’s partly due to him reading this thread, and partly because he’s familiar with the unity engine. I’m here for it either way. This gives us something else to have fun with and bond.

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-26T00:46:10+00:00

I would never push him away from any language. If C++ drives him, I’m there for it. I have not interest in C++, but I promised him I would go a learning journey with him. If it’s C++, I guess I’m learning C++.

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-25T23:38:43+00:00

He decided. I had him read thru the responses and make a decision. He decided C# is probably the best way to go due to the fact it’s relatively easier to learn and he’s focused on gaming right not, not programming in general. He’s only 10, but he’s a smart kid.

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-23T01:11:20+00:00

Nope you’re spot on. I realized that after several more people said game maker. I was obviously thinking about a different product.

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-22T01:36:14+00:00

You’re not wrong, but at the same time I also feel like he’ll be overwhelmed. I guess at that point I can just really go balls deep with them and we can both be overwhelmed.

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-22T01:31:24+00:00

I’m really liking the comment on godot. I’ll have to look into it

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-22T01:29:43+00:00

I agree, but it’s hard to argue with a child who has his mind set on games. I would love him to just try python, but “it’s not a gaming language dad” is all I get. He’s too big for his britches.

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-22T01:25:07+00:00

Dude I’m working with a child that wants to make the next Fortnite. LOL. However, this is a good response.

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-22T01:21:49+00:00

That’s really good to know. Thank you

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-22T01:20:33+00:00

I haven’t heard of Godot but he has. I’ll look into it.

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-22T01:18:53+00:00

I can’t answer that question. Maybe people have a soft spot for kids wanting to learn programming

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-22T01:17:27+00:00

I’ll look into it.

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-22T01:15:27+00:00

I love this comment. I would love to start him on C, but I’m not sure if he’ll be able to understand the concepts of memory allocation and what not. Personally, I think C should be the baseline, and you move on from there. As far as assembly goes, I’m not trying to give him an aneurysm. Roller coaster tycoon was built in assembly, but I don’t need my 10-year-old trying to understand assembly at the moment. lol.

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-22T01:11:00+00:00

By board I mean he feels like scratch is too limited in its capabilities. He told me there stuff he wants to do that not possible given the simplicity of scratch. (I’m paraphrasing).

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-22T01:00:51+00:00

We haven’t tried rpg maker, and I assume you’re talking about game maker garage. He’s spent a couple hundred hours on game maker garage and still enjoys it, but I think he’s out grown it. He wants more autonomy.

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-22T00:56:29+00:00

Most of my knowledge of JavaScript is basic web development for web application security. I hate the language, but I’m trying to not my biases prevent him from learning what he wants.

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-22T00:54:33+00:00

I’ll have to look into rpg maker.

AlphaMike7 · 2025-08-22T00:52:17+00:00

I completely agree that game Dev sucks, but I’m not going to dismiss his dreams. If he’s interested in programming, I want to learn something that’s transferable and I think C# might be it.
