Indie game dev
posting things from the 160+ rss feeds I follow. You should see me post links in two chunks for when im reading stuff, once in the morning and once in the evening ET. If you want some of my sources for certain communities feel free to dm
Pfp is Lucie from battlerite
Keywords in what I said being “everyone on reddit knows what reddit is”. Had that there since a lot of comparisons of lemmy being similar to reddit happened on reddit itself but if people are talking on lemmy or elsewhere the comparison shouldnt come up unless the other user initiates that (especially if theres more people like you and we would then be sending traffic to reddit with the comparison)
The issue comes up when people youre talking to dont know what youre using as a comparison
Article mentions that if they mention something then its fair to say how youre similar / differences but the person youre talking to has to initiate that. For people on reddit everyone on reddit knows what reddit is as they are using it so comparisons to it can be made on posts there
I usually just ask users on mastodon in dms whether theyre fine with me posting it here and then make a completely new post if they say yes. For the actual video I download it from mastodon then usually shrink it to around half width and height and optimize it a bit so its within the lemmy file size limit
For actual crossposts from mastodon only the original author can do that and by tagging the lemmy community
The channel I used when starting out and that has some great tutorials is Heartbeast.

Another channel with some great content is Godotneers
Edited the title to have a by in front to make that a bit more clear
Note its not my blog, just something I thought was interesting. Author is one of the people who has worked on factorio in the past
I dont know how larger games do it but it mostly depends on what kinds of enemies and what genre of game youre doing.
If you have a lot of enemies that will be spawned and despawned and they are mostly the same you can do an object pool where instead of destroying the object it gets hidden and added to the back of the pool for another enemy to spawn in as in the future by showing it and moving it to the correct spot
In terms of when to spawn it usually (assuming youre doing most genres) you can just spawn it right outside the view of the player when they hit a trigger. In games I usually make enemies are spawned on a timer since it tends to be more arcade like and in that case you usually just spawn them outside the range of the player in a random location around a radius after X amount of time has passed
Can give more specific things if I know the genre
Also downvote is likely someone from the all feed
Yes, or it compiles to JavaScript. From the version 1 post
All lemmy apps are sublinks apps, it has api compatibility
The demo site also isn’t an instance for accounts, its a demo
API pretty much already has parity, should be done way quicker than that
Theres more than just the api repo and pull requests are squashed in some of them making it show as less
For self hosting there’s also Forgejo which is a fork of Gitea
Thats what Codeberg uses
Its in the embedded tweet
Stands for progressive web app which is an app which uses web technologies. Can be both a web page and a mobile app on a phone. Can be added as an app to your phone through a browser rather than downloading it from an app store
Reason hasnt been given. Theres this message from the discord
Code blocks got updated in 0.19, lemmy.world is still on a 0.18 version
Subreddit had 3 posts within the last month so not that far off tbh
I can look for some post sources to give the community here some more activity
Theres a community for it over at !bevy@programming.dev for anyone interested in it :)
Note theres also a !gamejams@programming.dev community
