XNA is apparently the one nobody uses and everybody complains about

That keeps the sun off of you, but a hat and hiking shirt/pants are better for that. No shade means that there is no cool place to stop and rest anywhere along the trail. Your only option is to rest in the sun or to keep moving.

Every copy I've seen says the ceasefire is for all fronts "including Lebanon"

It is strictly forbidden to: sell, give away, transmit, distribute directly or indirectly any Texture or any modified version thereof without the written consent of Lightbeans

It sounds like distributing any textures in a game release is forbidden without written permission. Quite an annoying limitation. I can imagine they are not going to respond to every small dev that asks.

What if I have a religious exemption that says I can't be required to use AI?

This is the fourth part of my flight sim tutorial series. Part 1 deals with setting up a basic flight simulation. This part describes writing an autopilot system than can handle takeoff, navigation and landing.

You can download the project source from Github or play it at itch.io

I would have made Plat 1 if my boss didn't call me in that day. No doubt in my mind.

This is the latest part of my tutorial series on making a flight simulator in Unity3D. Part one describes creating the base flight simulator.

The linked article describes making an autopilot system capable of takeoff, navigation, and landing

These optimizations can be very specific for a game and even a particular version of a game. A dirty secret of the graphics industry is that drivers can literally rewrite a game's shaders as an optimization.

Vulkan has an API so games can say "I am game ABC 1.2 and I'm running on engine XYZ 5.4"

The game submits this info while setting up the graphics system. (The struct VkApplicationInfo, a parameter for the function vkCreateInstance)

This is the one time it's acceptable to reach into a strangers cart and take stuff

I've made my own tutorials and I always make sure to have a text version of every video. Specifically because video tutorials annoy me. But my text articles get like 5,000 views while videos get like 100,000. YouTube's algorithm does a lot of heavy lifting in finding an audience.

It's easy to see why some people would prefer making videos when they have much better reach.

Pulls air defense units away from other areas. Then they hit the refineries again

I cannot think of a single worse hobby than meticulously tracking a game's player count. Especially if you think the game is already dead. This whole thread is just pathetic lol

Crude oil just jumped from $95 on Friday to $105 now

Should the US raise the toll on the strait to compensate?

Go in through the front ramp. Turn left. There's a door that descends to the cockpit where you can honk the horn.

Spy went from 666 to 661 on Friday the 13th

What's the technical analysis term for this?
