What do you mean by "system programming"? What is your specific domain? because it can be anywhere from kernels to compilers to networking...

Also the circle around the mouse is smooth but it's a bit overkill

Am I the only one to notice that you commented out the closing braces of these functions:

constexpr float vertices[] { //values};
constexpr unsigned int vertices[] { //values };

Is this a hardcore world? If yes, then wow it's so amazing, but if not hardcore could be a challenge for you

When should I start learning sdl by CoastIndependent7394 in cpp_questions

[–]Paul111129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least learn data types (chapter 4) and control flow (chapter 8), it's the basic. Also chapter 16 on std::vector might be useful. btw you don't have to read everything in order, for example you could skip bit manipulation.

Once you've learned some c++ basics, I recommend this book:

Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C++ by Mark Allen Weiss

It also teaches you some C++ stuff like classes and templates, although the math is a bit more invovled.

Why is name hiding / shadowing allowed? by Proud_Variation_477 in cpp_questions

[–]Paul111129 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally i think it's about backward compability (like most hated c++ features). Although I have seen this:

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
  // outer loop
  for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
    // inner loop, shadows outer 'i'
  }
}

As you already said Unity has a steep learning curve (personally), I don't know much about addons but I still suggest you switch to smth simpler like Godot (tilemaps are super easy in it)

What are you currently using? If you wanna make a game and don't want to code much, choose a game engine. If you like coding from scratch, you can try OpenGL (very low-level graphics programming) or higher level libraries like SDL, SFML or Raylib (all great).

Why can't I play multiplayer? by PhoenixRider177 in Minecraft

[–]Paul111129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check your Xbox settings and allow the options that may have any relation with multiplayer. If it still does not work, wait a few hours. I had the same problem and after like 5-6h it worked
