  • [2023 Day #1] Massive Difficulty Increase

    Jump

  • its relatively fine, just harder than past day 1s and has cases that trip people up

  • This should be just 35, you can ignore the words that are numbers

  • Sneak peak from the upcoming Godot VSCode extension update

    Jump

  • Should work regardless of whether youre using gdscript or c# (unless the specific feature is obviously tied to gdscript)

  • Godot Experience Chart

    Jump

  • rename a file is in expert

    in godot if you rename certain types of things it tends to break a lot of parts of your game unless you go in and update references to it manually in the tscn files

  • [crosspost] Im proud with how my gameplay feels so far.

    Jump

  • im not op, just crossposting from some other spots with permission from the ops but will give some info for people who want to make something similar

    Agree glowing outline would be good here. A glowing outline is something thats relatively easy to do and good to add even if just to have for an accessibility setting people can toggle. Easily addable without changing sprites by attaching a shader onto the player and theres lots of tutorials out on doing so such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBujOvMRNl0

    For adding lighting to the player, thats also feasible although maybe a bit harder than the outline shader due to needing to mess with normal maps. Something some people do is add a normal map for the outermost pixels only (edge lighting)

    Its theoretically also possible by just lighting up the entire sprite without a normal map or the entire sprite normal mapped but tends to not look great and makes the sprite a bit more unreadable

  • Hack — Enhancing PHP with Static Typing and Modern Features

    Jump

  • Yeah sure, I can prioritize posting things from other sources

  • Understanding the Strategy Design Pattern in PHP with a Simple Example

    Jump

  • In the given example they don't make much sense but I assume they've done that in case they want them to be extended with new behaviour for certain ones separate from their strategy pattern section in the future

  • Beware

    Jump

  • hey not a bot, just trying to add some activity around programming.dev so been posting things I find interesting from my rss feeds (and crossposts from alternate communities e.g. theres a couple opensource communities)

    needed some content to start this community off so just pulled some images from ones I had saved with one of which being this

  • Get the app

    Jump

  • the cancel/decline button isnt showing up and instead shows a duplicate of the get the app button

  • Connect does not collapse cross-posts into the same post in the post feed

    Jump

  • lemmy-ui does the oldest post

    but you can get to any other post instead by tapping them in the cross-posted to section

    So in this if you tap the title you go to the post on gamedev since its the oldest post. But if you tap game_design at the bottom you go to the post on game_design

  • Connect does not collapse cross-posts into the same post in the post feed

    Jump

  • no, theyre still two different posts and have different post views outside of the feed. Just one is more prominently shown in the feed while the rest are just links in the cross-posted to section below the post in the feed when it detects that multiple posts have the same url. Comment threads combining would be a separate feature

  • Connect does not collapse cross-posts into the same post in the post feed

    Jump

  • yeah ill probably have to make an issue on all of their repositories

    its pretty much only supported by the main instance web frontends (lemmy-ui and pangora-ui) (been supported on lemmy-ui since before all of the apps were made)

    currently recommended in programming.dev to cross post to as many communities as you can to give content to the lower activity communities and since there tends to be a lot of overlap with topics but thats conflicting with current app behaviours

  • Connect does not collapse cross-posts into the same post in the post feed

    Jump

  • Havent done a check on all of them yet but figure they should all match the behaviour of the main lemmy frontend and its better behaviour to have then to just let it flood

    So far I made this post here and opened up an issue in the jerboa repository since those were the two that were reported
