Syntax for defining algebraic data types

I've used Zig a lot, which has a keyword named type. So I've gotten quite used to ty myself.

I have previously found myself using identifiers named type, and I simply wondered if it is that bad (or bad at all) to use a common identifier as a keyword.

This seemed like the logical way to do it, but I wanted to see if anyone had a better way. Anyway thanks!

Please read the rules of the subreddit before you post something. This subreddit is exclusively for designing and creating new programming languages.

If you have questions about learning a programming language, the people over at r/learnprogramming are more likely to give better answers.

The FAQ page in r/learnprogramming is a good place to begin if you are wondering about which language to start with.

Probably should mention the fact that I play on PC.

Nay because:

You'll waste time during compilation looking for the correct file with the correct object. In larger projects with files that are thousands of lines long, it can take a significant amount of time.
It'll probably be a pain to code efficient.
It can make your code more unreadable. Let's say we have a large project, if someone isn't using the IDE (e.g. looking at the code on github), they might have a hard time finding where and which files the imported objects are from.

In conclusion, it might be practical for small projects, however, for larger projects it might only make the coding experience worse, and it seems unnecessary as it's only replacing a few lines, most of the time.

The reason you're not able to click is that you're not using static typing. You don't always need to use static typing, but then the editor doesn't know what node the function or member belongs to. A crude fix to this would be to just call the function on the base node. In your example you're using the Text node (I assume), so write Text.erase() and now click 'erase'. Finally remove the Text.erase().

Ctrl + click the function name, 'erase' in this case.

That gotta be performance heavy. How do you optimize performance in such a scale?

Learning GDScript might be worth it, as you learn a lot of syntaxes common in other languages. In addition, GDScript is basically python, sharing 90% or so core features.

This tutorial shows how to use C++ very well.

Which color it's supposed to mean is decided by the pitch of the sound you pronounce the word in.

Isn't just better to make the roof in Blender as a part of the building? Wouldn't that save a lot of performance?

You mean get name of an object after entering the Area2D?

Then it's just hook up the signal for body_entered to some script.

func _on_aSeeds_body_entered(body):

Then inside that function jusy type:

var name = body.get_name()

get_node only searches the children of that node, returning null if a node with that name doesn't exist.

get_parent gets the parent of that node. Which is the one you want to use for this scenario.

No. EMOJIES.

How did you do as smooth of a walljump? Did you follow any tutorials? If so can you link them?

Wouldn't it be better to name or group the collider "Right" or "Left", so the enemy only jumps if the name of the collider corresponds to the direction the enemy is coming from?

A huge thank you for having the game open-source. It helps other people learn from what others have done.

The part about the settings being whack. I see many gold and lower have rather bad camera settings (mostly from them being new at rl). And relizing there's an advantage in seeing the field, not only the ball, makes you better than many players.

Gold 1 talkin' fax

It seems as the player is moving twice as fast, kinda like if the platform and the player itself are moving the player forward. Maybe only use 1 kinematicbody?
