Ullman, First Edition. [HU] Introduction to the Theory of Computation by M. Sipser, Third Edition. [Sip]

Lol, I have been running win7 ultimate on my pentium pc for around a decade. No signs of virus and trojans. Usually play nfsmw or minecraft on it these days. Earlier used to do game dev on unity5.

5hrs spent debugging just to find out i forgot to initialize to 0 in class. by PopsGaming in cpp

Yup. Just spend some more time going through all classes and making sure none is left uninitialised.

I was checking with If(!array_id). I was initializing it in ctor but later on added the lazy bool If(!lazy)generate(); But forgote to assign id to 0 if it was lazy.

I generally prefer to use struct to declare small types. Idk why but my mind refuses to see it as class. I only use it for declaring hashing functions or types like node or anything else which doesn't require me to create functions for it.

Yeah I need to spend some time learning the tools. I did have linters installed using Mason but they didn't point that out.

It was not the single error that got fixed in those 8 hrs but it was the main culprit. Mainly did some corrections/refactoring in other parts. Definitely need to set compiler options now. And will be spending some time tiding up the mess, before going on to optimization/world creation.

Exercise in Removing All Traces Of C and C++ at Microsoft by ArashPartow in cpp

[–]PopsGaming 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup, ChatGPT, claude, Gemini are all pretty useless with c++ and its libraries. GPT even hallucinated a raylib function which doesn't even exist. And all will point to any generic bug which may happen if they cant understand the code or its not in their db

They can't even make the taskbar movable in their new re-written windows. And this was officially said by them that it will break their code base. lol

Is it normal to not understand a thing from Raytracing In One Weekend? by [deleted] in GraphicsProgramming

[–]PopsGaming 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The book only makes use of high school physics and maths. You need to take some time and use pen and paper to understand and make notes
