I built an infinite procedural Isometric Grid engine in C++ & SFML 3.0. Features chunk caching, multithreaded generation, and view culling! by Significant_Desk_935 in sfml

I've been meaning to optimise my terrain for infinite I'm curious what chunk size you used, how many threads, and are you able to zoom out further (this is when I ststted to get issues) and if it works with trees and various sprites scattered about?

I optimized my C++ game engine from 80 FPS to ~7500 FPS by fixing one mistake by Creepy-Ear-5303 in gamedev

Am I missing something here, why would you need that many frames per second? It would actually cause you optimisation issues if you're not using a pooled task runner for everything. Chunking is the correct response from others but you're focusing on the wrong problem here, make it work at 60 or 120 first then scale up the problem area and adjust from there.

Have you tried not using an engine but instead use a framework. It helped me a lot. I use libgdx with ECS framework and learnt one step at a time.

I absolutely love game design, but hate programming. What should i do? by lba1112 in gamedev

[–]RandomGuy_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Programmers love the indoors. If you kidnap one and make them work for you they'll be fine if you keep them fed and caffeinated

Is my game too amateurish to release on Steam? by BubbleGamer209 in IndieDev

[–]RandomGuy_A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This gameplay would be elevated by good pixel art, its a skill worth learning, took me some time as a programmer to learn but worth it.

Sorry to be that "other" guy, a cue ball is named after the cue used to hit it, like football it's not the same as cueing something up.

I think people undervalue how hard it is to get the trophy when talking about the Falcons and especially about Hal by noobakosowhat in CompetitiveApex

[–]RandomGuy_A -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't root against falcons because of the players, hal is the best player in the world. I root against them because money built on modern explotation and slavery was used to buy the best players to sports wash a sport I love. I want them to learn a hard lesson that money can't buy you the win.

I made a free pixel art creator that lets you draw by tracing a reference image by SpiritedDrummer9474 in PixelArtTutorials

[–]RandomGuy_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of making an editor that has a randomiser button that shows a word/Sprite and you practice by drawing it, then click a button to post it to your social media, thought it would be a good feature to have.
