is Bevy good I haven't done anything with it yet
I like Bevy a lot. Should you use it in your next commercial game? That's debatable (although I'm trying to 👀). It's definitely a lot of fun to use with its ECS focus if you're wanting to just make games for fun or whatever.
It’s pretty barebones
My advice to 2021 lilith and 2024 lilith is to write code
Might be harder to get started, but waaay easier to maintain
This is why a text-based IDE will always be necessary
You're right. Next time I fuck with ue blueprints I'll use vim 👍
I kind of understand the appeal of blueprints, for small projects and quick proof of concept maybe. But never understood how can anyone do any serious or complex work with it. It just felt so limitting when I tried it in Unreal, never bothered with plugins for unity.
I mean, I think a lot of times it is drilled in to people as “best practice” for working in a larger organization.
To some extent this makes sense from a managerial perspective, like, you can move people between projects and expect them to pick up where the last person took off since it will be somewhat intelligible.
I’ve seen some nightmares though where projects were barely function because a bunch of unnecessary stuff was added to make it fit the shape.
Blueprints are faster to develop with in Unreal Engine, as it's quite literally built into Unreal Engine and doesn't require compiling from a separate program. It's even got live node previews to show you exactly what is being run at specific times, so it's easier to debug in too.
It really shines when you want to prototype a lot of things really fast, especially to get the game working first before the optimization step of moving functions and backend stuff over to C++.
i hate programmers they make me scare in my brain. why can you not have normal jobs like wood cutter and fish catcher
I'd love to cut wood, catch fish, craft runes etc
im learning compsci at uni and i 100% agree with you
Pulp fan?
If you do any code work, read this:
Robert C. Martin - Clean Code
Please don't, at least at the beginning, Uncle Bob is widely reputed to have done as much harm with his OOP work as he has done good, if not more.
I mean I like what is at the core of his suggestions. If you don't take it as a religion but add a dash of flexibility on it then I think it is quite useful.
This is the way. There's some good advice but it's not universally applicable. The problem is, Uncle Bob defends his philosophy as if it was, diminishing the advice's reputation.
I haven't heard any criticisms. What did he do that's wrong?
His book gave me polio!
Look don't be dogmatic with anything. Read it. Understand everyone has opinions. There are tradeoffs for every engineering decision. EVERY decision.
Learn to weigh them yourself and learn the intricacies of where it doesn't make sense and where it does
I'd appreciate some qualification on "widely reputed" + "as much." I'd concede it's common knowledge that dogmatically following his advice is a mistake, but I'm surprised by the claim that his advice is mostly harmful.
Praise Uncle Bob
This is why I love Blueprints; it forces you to keep your code neat and tidy and readable and documented lest it turns into an absolute mess. It's also so much fun to prototype in because it's like modular synths and you can just make an absolute mess if you want.
So, the argument is that the system is so unwieldy that it forces you to be good because if you aren't vigilant you'll fuck yourself? Where have I heard that before?
It's perfect.
Also, I have no argument; I just love it.
Where have I heard that before?
I’ve heard it from dynamic typing proponents
Yeah I’m not sold lol
You also heard it back in the 24kb of ram days.
What "language" is this?
ElI5?
Creator of the “DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO” series angrily shakes fist at past self’s shoddy work.
twitter user made some code in 2021 that she can no longer understand due to how complicated and poorly organized it is
Yeah Ive done that when updating some mods I made. Im all "Why the FUCK did I do it this way?".
You get used to it. I don't even see the code. All I see is Graphics Settings 1, Graphics Settings 2, Equal True.

Dang is Lilith not on Mastodon yet? I used to follow her on Twitter and now I iust realized how much I miss her toots.
I never liked Bloodborne but the Bloodborne Kart meme was too good not to fall in love with.
Same here! She always has such fun posts but i can't see anything without a twitter account :(
Nah thanks mate, ill stick to c# and c++ for now
Remember kids. This is why you never use blueprints
may as well call it a recipe now
This doesn't actually look that bad. Kinda structured and all. Have you seen the LLVM documentation? https://youtu.be/208K8EnSlB0

Maybe you can just get Midjourney to make you a picture like this and call it a day?
