I see.
Yeah, it managed to finish in ~ 11 hours.
shrug Perhaps I'll just stick to KDE Invent next time.
i cant draw/3d art
- Take a cuboid, place 4 cylinders on the sides, you have a car.
- Place it on a large horizontal plane and put a light somewhere on the top and you have a scene
- start small and simple. Even if you don't end up making games, you will at least be able to make animations over time. I never took an animation job, but little animations were useful in the industry to show ideas.
- Blender, while hard to initially grasp due to the UI (as compared to stuff like 3dsMAX, which felt kinda intuitive to me), is still a much better option. If you are using it regularly, it won't make a difference. Also, it is FOSS and cheap to install.
I cant code
- learn to program. It will be useful in general, because it lets you develop the mental pathways required for most engineering
- Difference between programming and coding: programming is defining the software, coding is understanding and using the language
i cant make music
- if you have a microphone, yes you can. Start anywhere really.
im bad with ideas
Game creation doesn't need to be a 1 man show. Get some friends on. Ask around on Lemmy, what people would like to see and choose something that clicks.
Everyone of the above will still be useful somewhere even if you don't end up being a gamedev
From a programming point, SDL 3 is a good starting point, if you are doing C or C++.
It is not a game engine in itself, but a library that can help make an engine or a game directly (you don't really need an engine), so it is as "from scratch" as I would recommend going. Furthermore, it is also made to directly support Vulkan, OpenGL etc, so you can try those out.
The +ive part of that is, you are not attaching yourself to any particular engine and you can use it to understand the underlying concepts behind game programming.
The -ive is that you can't claim being experienced in any particular game engine, so the job boards asking for "Unreal Engine Developer" or "Unity" developer are inaccessible.
Another point of game programming is that it also has use in making stuff like simulators and that is where the real money lies, if you are willing to work for the military.
Konsole has the option to set scrollback line count and an alternative "infinite" where it just writes to a file on disk.
GIMP can also have that and can ask for which disk it wants you to use, so if you have a 20TB HDD to dedicate for that, might as well.
In this case, the most recent 10 or so remain in RAM, while others only have a reference to it, in RAM.
Yeah, evaporate would be the appropriate word here, while sublimate would be for room temperature ice, which I don't know if it is ice that does it or if there is a microscopic film of water that then evaporates.
Nah. I remember back in high-school there were some who "disproved" the 3rd law of motion by pushing a door closed and saying that they didn't go backwards.
I didn't care to engage them in debate.
How did that work?
Doesn't pencil lead material just work as a resistor? It's mostly graphite and clay, and shouldn't have the required structure to work as a semi-conductor.
Ahh right. I had forgotten about how to term "semi-conducting" was used back in elementary, thanks to semiconductors and the lot.
Hmm, I see.
Guess this part can do with some optimisation.
Or even offloading to disk.
Considering that I am working on tweaks to what is essentially a secondary application of an RSS client, I am not really expecting it to go away any time soon.
I just stick my index finger right next to it, use the finger to feel the socket and then move the plug forward.
The taper in the front does the rest.
Doesn't work as well with USB C because:
- The curved bevel is not good enough for the job
- On the PC, the USB C is recessed and the I shield has a big enough hole that the plug can get stuck on the side of the socket instead of correctly inside.
Honestly, USB A feels easier to use in that case.
Then what do you assume +1 to Town Portal does?
If I remember correctly from Diablo 2, you just set a specific town as your return point and use the scroll, so it sends you back. What would a +1 do in this case?
