Re: Humanitarian Action via the VMU

What is this goddamn abomination!?

Errrr... I mean, in order to protect the Chaos and their Gardens, it is of the utmost importance that only safe languages be allowed to run on the device.

Re: Ketogenic Diet Resources

I wanted to share a few fantastic books by a couple well-respected doctors in field that provide amazing resources for the more advanced dieters who are interested in optimizing and understanding more of the low-level science: Superfuel : https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51OERU0QL-L....

High Intensity Interval Training (Cardio Exercise)

So I went on a (well-researched) Facebook rant about cardiovascular exercise modalities and thought it would be a good idea to centralize some of the resources and research I found while presenting my arguments into a thread where other people can benefit.

Ketogenic Diet Resources

I'm starting this thread as a sticky to great resources on ketosis and high-fat/low-carb ketogenic diets for beginners. We can modify this post and keep it as a central repository of information. Both high-level diet and low-level science resources are welcome (depending on how deep people want to g...

Re: USB GDROM

Nope, but that looks amazing. :shock: I'm very much of the opinion that all of these "GDRom" replacement projects are in the best interest of the future of the Dreamcast, because there is a preset amount of hardware out there in the world in circulation, and the most shitty, error-prone po...

Re: VMU Game Uploader

Jesus Christ, are you SURE you have to recompile all of KOS to do that!? That's absolutely horrible. That offset is supposed to be 0 for DATA type files, where the header comes first then the data comes next. This is how standard save files work. Then GAME files require the header to be located at t...

Re: Engine?

Yep, it's still a thing. It may very well be something people have to purchase separately after ES is released (to fund ongoing ESTk development as well as our next project), but as promised, the preorder backers will get it bundled with ES. :) Also, just so you know, ESToolkit is in a "releasa...

Re: Game Development Without "Manager" Classes

Eeeeeeh... I actually am going to have to agree to globals being bad in C++, but not for the reasons most people do. Honestly, you have a MILLION different alternatives to handling them within the language and yet you are choosing the most ugly, primitive solution possible? Jesus, at very least make...

Re: PC Build Advice

There are probably a few other good examples out there too, but video games do not tend to make heavy use of threads. That is all excellent information which I 100% agree with, but he didn't ask about "modern video games", he asked about "modern software". A *lot* of modern soft...

Re: Particle Engine written in C (source code available)

Very cool! The Proof of Concept tile engine is impressive as well. What do you plan on doing with the particle engine? Also, I noticed you're using immediate mode rendering. If you want to learn modern OpenGL and speed it up even more, I suggest https://learnopengl.com/ . I wouldn't go so far as to...

Re: Programming Professor shinanigains

I totally agree with you, Corey. What your professor said is incorrect. If it's a C++ class, she should not be pretending structs work the way that they do in C, because that's absolutely incorrect within context of C++, where they are LITERALLY C++ classes with a different default access modifier. ...
