@xianc78 I like the simplicity of it (only making a 2D game) and the smaller community, plus it was the earliest option I was aware of. I'll try SDL in the future maybe.

We're cooking soon. Gonna take a break to finish Firestar 1.3 before I continue on the game and then I'm ready to start programming the 2D scene graph.

Coming from Windows where the most popular IDE gives you professional-grade debugging and inspection at $0 (if you sell your soul to daddy bill), it's really sad how almost all the developer tools on Linux are like 15 years or more behind the curve.
I know that this is comparing giant capitalist corporations with professional business in mind vs. a bunch of nerdy hobbyists, but I can't stand using Code::Blocks or KDevelop for anything serious for long periods of time.

why do you take this so personally? Just ignore the warning, no need to be a massive prick.

People like you are why "free software" is not taken seriously. Go be an unlikable shitstain somewhere else.

bonkmaykr: extra bonks (bonkmaykr@gameliberty.club)'s status on Sunday, 27-Oct-2024 10:23:25 JST bonkmaykr: extra bonks LibAlleg does not have a guide on framerate-independent game logic, which makes removing the FPS cap difficult. No worries, I could do multithreading.
Except for some ungodly reason, the renderer is hard-capped at 60 frames per second, agnostic to my own code. This is "120"
I only found this out the hard way when my timescale math inadvertently caused the publisher intro to be twice as long instead of just being double the framerate.
At that time I had not implemented a delta timer because I was relying on Allegro's event timers for pacing, so I had no way of viewing the framerate until I took this screenshot. You can probably imagine the hours I wasted trying to fix my code not realizing what was happening.
*sigh* time to contact the IRC again...

Don't shamelessly worship Kamala? You're a Nazi and you want women to be genocide victims, nevermind that Kamala can barely even read, orange man bad
Tons of made-up sob stories too where if you even just ask an honest question you get accused of sexual harassment or transphobia.
I've remained pretty reasonable with people and I constantly have been insulted for no reason by folks who just want to feel better than everyone else.
Also noticeably lacking important features and the mobile client is still poorly glued together. Just don't bother with it guys.

bonkmaykr: extra bonks (bonkmaykr@gameliberty.club)'s status on Saturday, 26-Oct-2024 18:06:08 JST bonkmaykr: extra bonks @matrix I was planning to preorder BO6 until Activision attacked their own fans and then I completely lost interest.
My boyfriend picked it up anyway and played the beta on day 1. Hated it, got a refund. Allegedly it was in a pretty sloppy state for a game this close to launch at this price.
