So i started using this year. Yeah, yeah, i'm late to the party, i know.

But i'm still kinda suspicious about the widespread usage of python. The language isn't really my favourite, but the ecosystem is huge.

I still hold my stance that python isn't really suited for bigger applications or stuff that requires even the least amount of perf, but it's a wonderful tool to quickly hack stuff that must run once or must be super flexible.

Fixing a bug which had to do with exactly this problem took me 2 hours today... That's called life of a programmer, I guess.

It's super challenging to work with shaders, but so rewarding.

I am reworking the light system to move it from the CPU to the , which when finished will not only increase the performance and maintainability, but also greatly increase the visuals and potential gameplay and immersion.

GPUs are awesome!

PS: Don't mind too much the details as well as the lack of light on the tiles, it's very much a work in progress and far from finished.

Here's a litmus test for code/ .

Can you understand the code a few days or weeks later when under the influence of a moderate dose of your favorite psychotropic agent?

If the answer is no, that's some bad news for your code/design as it is.

Constants can sometimes help find (certain) errors at compile time instead of runtime: constexpr over const variables; const variables over non-const variables; and macros or literals if you must.

Obviously, constants don't always provide this benefit, but strive to use them where opportunity permits.

Example: sigcpp.godbolt.org/z/sjd5vWrPn

(Also, avoid "naked new", but that's for another time.)

I love September because I know Apple won’t force me to rewrite all my code until June.~

Anytime I go to a conference, be it writing or dev, I leave with a ton of stuff I want to do as a result, and a ton of stuff I need to do to catch up.
