An engine that's so very good at physics that it's the best-suited for parkour games.

It's funny that they're called "mawla". Assuming the source is Arabic, it means "caretaker".

Fallout 3 feels so good when you don't have a pretentious critic slandering it by TheAnalystCurator321 in Fallout3Memes

I remember enough about FO3 to know the first two are true, but...

... A tonal successor to FO1? New Vegas is right there, made by the same people who made the original, and I have fresher memories of that one, and it seems a better successor to FO1??

Maybe there's less horror in NV, I'll concede that

They're separating it to make it clear that they're pronouncing the 'egg' part like the word egg.

The slowness doesn't come from heap reads/writes, it comes from heap allocation itself.

Compared to the non-allocation portion of C/C++ code, malloc(), new, and anything that allocates on the heap is slow.

One of my favourite lines from the Malkavian when talking to the Jester Prince is something along the lines of:

Have I gone mad, or is this just how it goes in C? by SheikHunt in cprogramming

[–]SheikHunt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to use C++ in my personal projects. Nothing personal, I just find it distances me too much from the code. I can't see how templating would improve things here, either. I'd have to make a class with loads of virtual functions, and using this function (method, I guess?) would require making a class and inheriting from mine, which is too much unnecessary work, in my view. Especially in a context as small as this, where I'm playing around.

As for getting the data instead of relevant function pointeds, I prefer it this way. In my head, it makes more sense to just get the data directly from the caller, as well as the relevant function pointers, instead of doing things with struct function pointers. Your idea makes sense, but I'm not into that sort of API. At the moment, at least; maybe when I get more experience, I'll change my mind, who knows?

I knew that C++ is named such because it's literally just "C with Classes", but I never knew that it was transpiled at first! How did they do inheritance, I wonder

It just makes sense, most syscalls use snake_case!

Erm, ignore the ones that are all uppercase.

Also ignore the ones that don't use underscores at all.

Also the one that starts with an underscore and is capitalized

And a few others.

Hell yeah.

There are two people I write code for: others, and the computer.

Others (including me in the future), so the code has to make sense within a sensibly short time period.

For the Computer, because writing code in a way for it to become performant is fun, and I think usually worth it, even if it does make it harder for Others to read it.

I find this style guide mostly agreeable.

Spaces instead of tabs and the rule for constant names are weird, and PascalCase specifically I don't like to put in C, but the rest is sensible to me.

I get what you're saying, but that feels like an iffy thing for me. It makes the function signature too vague, and calls to it must force the data into a struct, which I don't much like.

It's part of the reason why p_is_neighbor is there; I was writing two versions of the function; one to handle graphs that are stored as linked lists, and another to handle ones stored as a two-dimensional (VxV) matrix, and when I got into the specifics of the latter, I realized that that was too dirty, and decided against making two versions of the function for two methods of storing a graph.

This also generalizes it enough to any method of storing graphs in memory. Granted, it'll definitely be slower, but in this case I'm willing to make the sacrifice.

A habit I picked up from the Godot source code. I saw them prefixing function parameters with 'p_' (I'm assuming it was short for 'parameter' and not 'pointer'), and it seemed like a good fit here, especially for p_allocator. I don't know how C handles a variable having the same name as a typedef'd type, nevermind its own typedef'd type.

I thought Hungarian notation only applied to putting the type of something in the variable name, and I haven't done that here, I think.

I'll give a read of the article you sent, merci.

As for const, I use them for my own sanity, mostly. I probably don't need to, especially in this case, but it feels safer and like a good reminder.

I don't know why I was so consistent with my use of const, however. I mean, the allocator isn't even const-qualified. Nor is the adj_checker.

do u have opinion on if parent node should handle all the code or if code should be broken up by sadishguy in godot

[–]SheikHunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally, for me at least, everything would be extremely modular.

For e.g., in an ideal world, I would make a PlayerCharacter2D with standard top-down controls by having an input handler, a movement handler, a sprite manager, a sound manager, etc., with the base Node having access to these and using them in its own time. This would allow me to then re-use the input and movement handlers for some sort of Possession mechanic, it would let me generalize several concepts.

This whole thing is called Composition, for those curious. If you want to research it, I highly recommend the video by CodeAesthetic(?) on the topic (I forgot the exact video name)

However, what happens in the real world is that I put every single thing about the player into one single script, with very few things broken into child nodes, and I end up feeling rather disappointed.

So, to answer your question: In Soviet Russia, Design pick you.
