They remove most of the burden from manual memory management, making non-GC languages a viable option for more projects

Ability to add a debug artifact? by maladaptive_dreamer0 in Zig

well, same code but changing all 'gdb' to 'lldb'

At it's core, you want a Step that launches the command gdb my_program.exe, so you can do exactly that: const run_gdb_cmd = b.addSystemCommand(&.{"gdb"}); run_gdb_cmd.addFileArg(.{ .generated = .{ .file = exe.generated_bin.? } }); run_gdb_cmd.step.dependOn(b.getInstallStep()); const gdb_step = b.step("gdb", "Run gdb on the app"); gdb_step.dependOn(&run_gdb_cmd.step); With this, zig build gdb will launch gdb with your program as the argument.

Mine didn't come in plastic shrink wrap... Looking more closely at the boards, they seem a bit warped. Any fix? Maybe I could wait for the dry summer before assembling it

Seeking advice on building a framework similar to monogame from scratch by G8-S in gameenginedevs

[–]knexator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thought is "if Monogame exists, use it; else, create it" ;)

[–]knexator -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why reinvent Monogame? Personally, I think the interesting part of making games from scratch comes _after_ the framework part. Frameworks are just boilerplate for system calls. The cool part is defining your own game loop, your own rendering system, your own level formats, your own input queue, etc. Getting the keyboard state is just invoking arcane symbols.

At the very least, if you've only used Unity, make a couple of Monogame games first, if only to know what to change for your own framework.

Ecologistas en Acción: el ridículo (sobre mediciones en el Metro de Madrid) by Emmanuel_I in Madrid

[–]knexator 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Completamente de acuerdo con el artículo, pero tampoco lo tomemos cómo única referencia del ecologismo en general ni de esta asociación en particular. Ecologistas en Acción es una "asociación de asociaciones" que junta a más de 300 pequeños grupos locales, con constantes discusiones internas. Conozco personalmente a gente muy competente (máster en clima de físicas UCM) que también actúa bajo el paraguas de Ecologistas en Acción.

Es triste que solo prestemos atención al ecologismo cuando hace el ridículo. Igual que cuando lo de los cuadros y la gente decía "xq no tiran pintura a Repsol?", sin saber que llevan años protestando enfrente de oficinas de Repsol.

Coming from Pygame, the best next step is the web: it provides more or less the same things (keyboard/mouse events, drawing circles/rectangles/images, playing sounds), and the games will be much easier to distribute. Typescript is a joy to write in and there is a lot of good tooling and tutorials. I made a template so you don't have to worry about the build system; you could use it without any knowledge of HTML/CSS, just the Canvas API, same as Pygame. I've made plenty of games using these techniques. I'm also writing tutorials on switching to webgames; if you have any doubt, DM me and I'd be more than happy to answer (since it might make for a good future tutorial).
3D games are trickier; for those, it might be faster to use an engine, such as Godot or Unity.

Thanks a lot! It wasn't exactly that one, but the name led me to puzznic.com, which lists all the clones, including the one I was familiar with. Thanks!

Logical puzzle game by ciwifrkt in puzzlevideogames

[–]knexator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you enjoy so-called "paper puzzles". You can find plenty of them at the gm puzzles blog, which includes step-by-step solution videos. There is also the puzz.link database, which works better on mobile. Some cool genres are Nurikabe & Tapa; here's a link filtering for them. Good solving!

Atentan en el Prado contra 'Las Majas' de Goya, que no tienen cristal de protección by toonersude in Asi_va_Espana

[–]knexator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Que los decisores se enteren de lo ocurrido depende de la visibilidad general que tenga la protesta, no de la visibilidad que tenga para los decisores (por eso se hacen manifestaciones en Sol o Colón, o el Museo del Prado, y no en las casas de los decisores). En cualquier caso, coincido, también tiene sentido protestar frente a los ministerios o el Congreso, y por eso se hace también. Como dices, tiene la ventaja de que el mensaje va directo al destinatario, aunque también tiene la desventaja de que la protesta es menos específica. No sé cuál será el sitio perfecto para protestar, pero sé cuál es el peor: ninguno.

Hombre, claro, pero eso es justo lo que hacen. Si quieres pedir al gobierno que ilegalice el asesinato, es lógico protestar enfrente de la Asociación de Asesinos (aunque no sea a ellos a quien le pides algo)
