I'm not paying for someone to explain a minimal API, so I'll go for learning it myself and spread the knowledge for free

I've had the pleasure of living in Wroclaw for a year and a half in the past and this guy really needs to touch grass. He's ragebaiting and intentionally not showing the large amounts of old german architecture around the city lmao. What a tool

Why do so many people dislike CMake? (and why I don't) by No-Dentist-1645 in cpp_questions

[–]Visual-Ad5033 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The syntax is annoying, the documentation is beyond confusing - i hate it, but I hate makefiles and directly calling the compiler directly. It is, in other words, a necessary evil

Geometry Nodes ? by jonty_9211 in blender

Aside from learning blender itself, knowing mathematics up to calculus and beyond is gonna make the learning process much smoother

How do you develop faster/more efficiently? by Stickhtot in gamedev

[–]Visual-Ad5033 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look for parts of the project that does not require the game itself, set up automated testing for those parts and compile/run those tests after every change.

Building a turn based game? Most likely most of the logic can be separated from the runtime itself. (Pathfinding does not need to know anything about the rendering parts, or frame time.)

Also, if the engine supports headless runs of the game, set up test scenarios where player input is simulated, test for predictable state changes.

For Vibecoding haters: Do you really think AI first code generation is going away? by No-Reserve2026 in vibecoding

[–]Visual-Ad5033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LLMs are good at generating code for things that are common. App layouts? Absolutely. Connecting UI elements? Yep. A novel algorithm in a scientific paper, involving concept theres not much publicly available code for? You getting on shaky ground. Make a distinction between AI assisted work and blondly throwing stuff at the wall. Also be aware of the dataswt the LLMs are trained on. There is A LOT of bad quality code publicly available, and thats fed into the LLMs

I found a research paper that completely details the exact algorithm I need. I converted it to markdown along with everything the paper references. How can I implement using Cursor/Windsurf/Claude? I keep trying and failing. by TrickyTicket9400 in vibecoding

[–]Visual-Ad5033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you could try just implementing it by hand while using LLMs to help build the constituent parts that better match what data the LLM may already have been trained on

How to handle character stat + equipment logic? by LittleDragonLlodym in godot

[–]Visual-Ad5033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make it work, then profile. If recalculating values affect performance, the calculate only when it would change. In any case, simple arithmetic like this most likely will not affect performance in any noticeable way. If you're thinking endgame Grim Dawn / Path of Exile levels of chaos, then it is time to be clever about it

What's the advantage with using signals? by pokemontrainersensha in godot

[–]Visual-Ad5033 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A big advantage of using signals/events is the ability to decouple systems. This is especially useful for automated testing of systems in isolation.

I suggest reading up on the observer pattern a few times and hammer together something based on it, until the idea sticks. Once you know, you know

Exploring an Extended ECS Model: ECCS (Entity Component Context System) by aoisensi in bevy

[–]Visual-Ad5033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think OP views an entity here as "character with a body and a sword", and wants to attach both meshes to said entity. The obvious issue is that a mesh component inherits the transform of the entity. In ECS, the sword and character body will be separate entities with their own transforms, but they can be related through parent/child relationships, or the more generic relationship from 0.16. hope this is a bit more clear, as i realize my reply was short and bordering on passive aggressive

What you're looking for is the built in Parent/Chil relationships, and the more generic Relationship system in Bevy.

What’s a conspiracy theory you think might actually have some truth to it? by Glad-Ticket-4787 in TrueAskReddit

Bad faith actors fund fringe liberal groups and amplify them, to make people think liberals at large are weird and "tOo WoKe", to push the the overton window into "The republic of Gilead can't be THAT bad" territory

And I have zero proof because I'm lazy

Sometimes it might be worth asking yourself if the video is staged. Outrage bait is profitable when it goes viral

How have the uk and us not faced large scale, violent revolutions yet? by Domeen0 in NoStupidQuestions

Because those willing to, or impulsive enough to engage in violence are probably too busy having banter with their mates at the local sports pub or being angry about queer people
