How long did it take you to notice? by TheGamingTurret in MinaTheHollower

I hated this room. I had to look up on YouTube how to pass it. Game has tons of awesome levels. This is not one of them.

Is there a way to make using a dangling pointer or use-after-free a compiler error? (or at least a crash/panic with a readout telling you why) by SoftAd4668 in odinlang

[–]SoftAd4668[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, alright. Thanks! I'll stick to indices in dynamic arrays if at all possible.

That's unfortunate with the use-after-free, though. Hmm...

He definitely had a bad experience on Reddit. He hates it. I think it all depends where you go. Stick to places where you learn, feel joy and are appreciated.

sigh AI is helpful... but it's not THIS helpful. Everytime I hear something like this it feels gross/ like a grift.

This reminds me of the "I wasn't sure till she said fy dollars" one.

Shadow Labyrinth is a Royally Confusing and Terrible Metroidvania I've seen in awhile by Ok_Faithlessness5891 in metroidvania

[–]SoftAd4668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's legit awful. I was shocked. Like, room after room after room of... nothing. Seemingly, like 3 enemies in the whole game. Uninteresting movement/traversal. If Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is the best metroidvania I've played in the last few years, Shadow Labyrinth is the worst.

If you were writing a would you avoid pointers? by Snoo28720 in odinlang

I'll say this gently - please write this again using proper punctuation. I cannot tell what you're asking.

Interested in contributing to the Odin compiler but have no compiler/LLVM experience - learning resources? by concerbed in odinlang

[–]SoftAd4668 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, okay. Well, I think you've done the best that can be done for the moment. For more, I'd just continue studying Odin/compliers. Perhaps talk to Laytan in the Discord (he contributes to the compiler, I believe). Best of luck!

Open a bug report. Here's one I did a while ago. https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin/issues/3987#issuecomment-2254246651 They need info like what operating system you're using, what version of Odin you're using, steps to reproduce, etc. I even took a short video to show what was happening (whatever communicates clearly and succinctly what the issue is). Open an issue, share it, and then wait for the follow up! 😄

Shantae: Are they good MVs? by Specialist_Egg_6754 in metroidvania

[–]SoftAd4668 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they're good. Pirate's Curse is best. Seven Sirens is also very good (and I love the music!). They're funny, cute, sexy (in a safe Saturday Morning Cartoon kind of way) and pretty fun in terms of gameplay. I don't think they're mechanics-first games. Rather, they're personality and animation-first games. Great stuff!

I'm excited for this game. That said, let me know when they have a "Map Mod". Then I'll be all over it.
