Not sure how relevant the idea of not many games run on linux anymore, at least when using steam there are around 5,400 (I made sure to only tick games and not dc lol) games that have linux support.

It might be one big company but at least they are trying their best to get compatibility for linux (and shifting away from windows in the process) and I think with this other companiea might follow since if they don't they'll lose competition.

As a person who struggles to name variables things that are not insanely long I welcome any name that isnt two letters, at least it's readable, though don't really mind either way

@RiPtide switch cases are a great wait to filter through enums, and most IDEs i've dealt with auto fill all enum types for what ever you put inside switch (enum)

I havent found a way to simplify filtering through enums faster than switch cases, it is certainly cleaner and more readable than say use else-if statements

I use it quite a lot for enums in game development, it was for particular circumstances as all tools in the programming are used in their specific cases, sure there maybe a chance you wont ever use it but if you ever need to do something specific with enums well then thats when it will be useful

@AleCx04 had it pretty rough with iOS and Xcode and didnt mind using android studio or Android, used them both on an ancient Mac (2015 or later i think) Android studio ran great and Xcode not so much. Also had issues with setting up certificates for the iOS app I worked on (which in the end I answered a question people had trouble woth).

Some things are good about each side of coin, personally like Android when it came down to it.

@RiPtide uh what's wrong with switch cases?

I understand you want to learn a new language but you have to learn to prioritise what is important, not saying learning a new language is fun and all but you went to university to get a degree, gotta stick to that as your main priority. Once your assignments are done take the time to learn new language, design principles and such.

Anyway that's my opinion, take it as how you see it.

Record them doing drugs and post it on their website, lol guess it wouldnt be petty revenge then

At least you got money i got a handshake :/

Basically what @Root says, i'd just add be able finish something, one of the things companies look for (if you want to down that route is completed projects) that and a portfolio.

You could try something like gamemaker to learn how games work and if you want to go down the line to make something bigger scale try out unity.

i saw a commit where someone wrote "it's 2am" and another which was someyhing like "agshfjahfhfjdjg"

I'm a simple game dev I see the word game and ++ all comments :D good job!

Ive seen some random names for variables, found a game object in a main menu scene i was working on it was called Thing....

no comments, or anything that helps me understand what the hell it is.... The nerve of somr people

@irene kinda what I thought tbh, thinking something like an opensource aoftware you used wasn't that great or something.

I guess for me I've used gimp and it works but the time I used photoshop worked for me it felt a lot better just easier to pick up for me, I ain't picky when it comes to either ans generally if I need something edited I ask my brother because he is 1000x better than me (if not/he's busy, ill do it myself)

Aside from that Blender3D! Love it and won't ever use anything else because I'm so used to it, used it over the years and learnt all the neat little tricks, I won't ever be a pro 3d artist (do a couple prototype gameobjects for when I wanna test things) so it works for me and if i ever need anything professionally done I ask my bro! (he has 3ds max, zbrush, and maya for the gooood stuff)

My cat woke me up at that time lol scratching on my door wanting attention

I know this dude that practically did nothing for his projects, one of those all talk guys, aomehow he made it into a game design masters degree, glad i didnt end up doing masters i dont ever want to ne in a group with that dude.

One of the projects we did together, was just a team member for him dropped out, and he got put in our group, laat day of the assignment he asks "hey need any help with anything", "yeah that'd be great" "too bad im at a party getting drunk"

and the rest of the night it was more measages asking if we needed help but it got harder to read each time. He got an easy B+ for doing shit all

@Teknas you can see the edge of the underline bit, I wouldn't say it's hidden

@FlipFloop if you get a certain amount of ++'s on a rant you get free stickers and a stress ball (separately though) i think the amount is in the settings somewhere

For me, I don't really need to think of anything that my lecturer should have told me, I had a great programming lecturer the second time around.

I say that only because the programming 1 lecturer taught us only the basics and seemed to know just that, when it came to things like lab classes, I would ask her about things, before she would answer she would say "hang on let me get my notes...."

Second Semester she is gone! We get an amazing lecturer who could probably off the top of his head explain the basics - intermediate knowledge for programming, though it wasn't his knowledge just really how every was explained.

Also he made me want to get into game development more, so theres that lol.

I used java for majority of my university time and again when developing an android app, wasnt that bad, I used c# now because of unity but I don't see any need to say I hated java.

objective-C is another thing entirely ugh...

Hah nah mine is basically dead too, and the other half-unfinished products arw on other git host websites lol

Coffee mostly but since i get free gFuel from work, sometimes gFuel

@HelloUglyWorld code-wise sure but someone had to design horse balls, basically had horse balls on their screen, for a couple hours.

Totally true, personally used both phones never had any issues with either and if i ever needed could totally swap back to iOS on the fly.

Really for me it's the cost, the iPhone 5 I had for many years did it's job quite well.

Xcode though is another story lol.

@Root I enjoyed their back to the future games, one of their very earlier games. Sure I don't appreciate what they did to the devs, but they were known for their story (only played the back to the future game but I heard the walking dead game was good) something I don't management had too much of a part of.

@Hallelouia you should try path of exile!

@gsn16 my pc is slow (work at home and gpu is low end for vr) and i always will write the most efficient code possible, tomeit wouldnt matter if I had a more up to date cpu and gpu to help compile the game scenes when doing a build, but the break I get lets me get a coffee, hit the punching bag or just some form of break while I wait.

Might be different to some people though

@sladuled also sounds like horrible abomination is the opening band lol

Couple weeks maybe even a month for me, cant exactly say what it was but it was a bug that displayed no reference errors and the api said nothing about what was going wrong, found it in the end though, slept so soundly that night.

Hey at least you admit you made a mistake, I had a new guy who thought he was top shit, tried to change how things worked for us, then when he fucked up and my boss thought it was me he didnt have the balls to say sorry instead he left without a word.

One good thing is there is a class-action lawsuit against telltale, so hopefully they can get paid serverance and the 2 months baclpay that I read that some never got.

I guess i'll try both, next time they try calling me (should be soon it's been 5 days between the last time someone called from fake ISP) I'm gonna play along and see if I can take down as much information on what they wanna know and what their plan is to get that info.

Will definitely post here so you guys can help avoid this situation (for the normal users, i mean no one at microsoft calls to say there is a pc issue jeez how dumb are they lol)
