I had gave up

But then I listened a podcast, this give me up some energy back and then decided to try again.

This time, I installed unity 2021 instead of 2020 lts, I also installed module by module.

It finally worked! After 5 hours of trying, it finally worked

Sigh, anyway, gamedev right?

> I hope this time it works

IT DIDN'T!

I'm glad that I'm not using unity for my personal projects.

I can't afford an ultra good computer, but the one I bought is not even bad, it's pretty good actually.

But everything, especially windows 10 (which eats my storage), is bloat software today.

Bloat software isn't an inconvenience to performance-afficionados, is an actual problem! I had many colleages on college who almost couldn't do homework during pandemic due to this.

Four whole hours in a battle against Unityhub and Windows 10 just to install unity on my machine

Just to do a work

Which I even could not start it due to this.

Reason: unityhub accumulated successive download files on temp without cleaning them after install.

I hope this time it works

added a stress test to my ECS library and the performance is not great 👍

this was expected though, it still isn't optimized, and I don't use ECS due to the possible performance benefits and cache-locality anyway (yeah guys, ECS is not about performance at all, at least for me)

ok, resolved.

The bug was happening because I applied a render offset on the source rectangle, this was wrong.

This effect is really cool, but what the hell haha

parallax never fails

It works!... oh wait

question:

Do you think game programmers and engine programmers have recognition like artists and musicians?

Like, in the same way that non-artists likes art posts and non-musicians likes music posts, do non-programmers likes engine devlogs posts?

Me, at 30th Apr:
"Oh, it's just a easy refactor, it shouldn't take so much time right?"

(no regrets though)

Anyway, "play" and "stop" functions added to Music.

Added enums on new raylib-nelua bindgen today :)

Made a little experiment this week, it's an tiny autotiler as a React exercise (tileset made by Kenney):

https://andre-la.github.io/my-autotiler-toy/

I'm happy with the result, now I need to style this website.

I'll try to write how it works on the page itself, but the implementation it's similar to this article:

You can also read the source :)

Hm..... I'll drop the automatic resource management in the nene rework, I guess that each game developer will prefer to manage the resource on his own.

Of course, I want to introduce a default one (after all, I'll use it), it just not gonna be part of rework roadmap.

After weeks refactoring my gamedev library, the pong example finally works again :)

Also, I should start toot more here!

Rotor-quick and it's tests (including Lunar lander test) are now ported to #tinycoffee! ☕
