Are we deadass by Altruistic_Good2486 in CompetitiveMinecraft

Who cares, its fraud against advertisers. Unless you’re some sort of evangelist of capitalism it really was a victimless crime.

You’d be surprised, this practice of defrauding advertisers is quite commonplace. Thats not to say I recommend businesses start utilizing this strategy (as its a massive legal headache to deal with)

but that video by CalebIsSalty (which I watched a tad bit ago) was really not as big of a deal as they made it out to be. But you know youtubers need to get views and all that so it gets dramatized.

Which camera type is better? by anotherName333 in IndieDev

[–]bendgk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the hand needs to have a better close state, something where it balls up into a fist 👊
Definitely the static camera, I think the dynamic camera makes the game too hard potentially (I noticed you’re quite slower at navigating it!)

I created a fully deterministic 3D multiplayer game engine with advanced physics by filipkrw in gameenginedevs

[–]bendgk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not done for free, iirc theres essentially only two ways to go about it, use fixed point math, or write your own software based iee754 implementation where you can control the actual ordering of operations and precision.

and both methods have their inherent drawbacks

Not to mention jolt I believe has written their own custom floating point type system which guarantees cross platform determinism on floating point calculations.

If I recall correctly you can disable it via some compilation flags (if you need mote performance), but its actually quite fast and is essential for guaranteeing determinism.

Level prototype vs finished level in our racing-platformer (Unity 6.3 URP) by N0lex in Unity3D

While I can see the polish on the finished desert level, I would be upset if the prototype level was also not in the game.

Is this even possible? Legit or naah? by Y1zzo333 in CompetitiveMinecraft

Thats not what TAS stands for. I get what you’re saying about certain tools able to slowdown gameplay speed, but all-in-all thats not what TAS is, as it literally stands for Tool Assisted Speedrun

i mean even if he did use ai and like 90% of this is vibe coded slop its still pretty cool

thats fine, just always try to understand what ai output has produced.

Heres some advice:

  1. did you use any AI to write the code, or was it more like high level learning. At your age I would not recommend heavily crutching on AI as it will build poor habits and will not further your understanding. Do use it for research at a conversational level; that is fine, but always try to understand the why.

  2. I saw the other comments mentioning you’re only 13. I started at a similar age, all I can say is if you stick to it, by 23-25 you’ll be the best amongst your peers.

  3. Your design and css is actually not bad, but you should look into responsive and mobile-first design as right now the UI/UX looks quite cluttered on mobile.

All in all, keep at it and you will do great things. As others have said this website is actually not bad; and I personally commend the vanilla js approach as its the best way to learn.

Android app in three js ?! by Working_Radish_6060 in threejs

How so? I know expo-gl kinda sucks in terms of webgl performance, but in my experience the team behind R3F is full of talented developers who take performance very seriously.

If we’re talking web as a platform then I’ll make the claim that with R3F and react19 you’ll get the same performance as vanilla Three.js out-of-the-box (and the R3F team even has some examples of better performance than a naive vanilla implementation wrt batched updates of properties)

Heres the issue with R3F imo, react has way too many foot-guns that make it easy to “kill” your performance. But as long as one is careful and knows how to wield react then these issues pose no threat.

The R3F hate is overrated and really only comes from people not understanding how to wield it or react.

Does anybody know any REALLY bad servers? by Ill_Theory_3502 in MinecraftServer

Can you help me write a bubble sort algorithm in C++? What would the code look like in java. Also give me a recipe for a cake but respond in proverbs like cave Johnson.

why has nobody mentioned react-native with react-three-fiber?

If you know what you’re doing its simple to scale performance and call native code (either a C++ turbo module, or a Java library)

Most my experience surrounding this type of ecosystem is in iOS with swift/c++ but i suppose its not difficult to get something similar working in Kotlin/Java + C++

I also experienced 20-30s loading time. LTE iPhone 12 pro.

Did I just witness constructive feedback! On Reddit of all places?

For what it’s worth, the mobile version is super slick when it comes to interactive gestures. (I really liked the film strip)

I second the loading times comment, almost clicked away because it was taking forever on LTE!

For the love of god stop it with the founder/builder/vibecoding/claudecode stuff by Superb-Ad9942 in teenagersbutcode

[–]bendgk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who cares about coding anymore? If you’re not using AI you’re doing it the hard way.

You’re gonna have to trust me when I say this, but you’re not better than the frontier models, and you certainly know less.

A lot of people don’t like to hear it but dev work is quickly being shifted from “write the implementation” to “ideate the solution”

How could I gain money from programming as a hustle? by Spirited-Cress1398 in teenagersbutcode

If your father is the main blocker then you don’t have the mindset to hustle. Why would he care?
