September 5, 2014 - "Nightlies weren't updating, here's why" edition.

You're an Apex, Omni! The Apex of the Coding Simians! While I'm still a dishwashing Hylotl with a knack of being a novelist.

 

This made my tiny brain hurt. I'm going back to the corner to silently rock my pain away.

 

page stretchingly annoying bugs

incidentally you should probably put a break above that part

 

TL;DR Magic?

 

I must say, I do enjoy reading posts like this myself. I only regret the fact that understanding a large portion of it tends to be rather difficult at times, but hopefully within short time, I'll at least be able to understand it a little better.

I was able to catch on what you were talking about when you were mentioning frames , but you clearly had some idea on what might have been wrong, to have been able to make connections like this.

And being able to connect small things that might have possibly caused huge changes, well that's something that only a skilled coder can do.

I will probably excessively study read this post again tomorrow.

 

I too feel proud to understand about half of this.

 

I feel frustrated to have absolutly no idea what means what I'm reading.

So, err, kudos on fixing the issue, have a banana?

I really ought to learn programming someday.

 

thanks for the post Omni, it was useful and an interesting read for me have a good weekend all.

 

Today's diffs! Most of the changes apparently went into the program code which is not reflected in these posts.

This was, by far, the longest post I've ever seen for this site.

 

Good to keep us updated on the nightlies.

 

Will the game be free wen is finisht?

 

Do you can work for free for couple of years ? - and how will you live ? , what will you eat , who will pay for your billis? , programming is a work , and work must be payed cheers


Im glad that Chucklefish is gettin closer to community ,.

 

This was like sitting through a lecture, I was reading that in a college professor voice, I understood enough of it to get the general idea in my half asleep state, but clearly more time spent in college is necessary before I can completely comprehend coding.

Still, that must have been fun to chase around.

 

.... *Brain explodes*

Too much technical mumbojumbo for me.

 

An interesting (and surprisingly detailed) response about a few small bugs / compatibility issues that had disproportionately big effects. It's always the small things that make a build implode, isn't it? Especially when it comes to running code through more than one compiler version / type, on more than one platform. Throw in the fact that small bugs are REALLY hard to find...

As an aside... I always imagine that the error messages from my compiler are actually full of implied angry swearing. ^^

 

Okay, so here's the english translation:

Something borked. Magic. Works now.

 

I'm a Computer Science major at my local college, and it's reports like these that tell me why I love Early Access games so much. I like to see this kind of technical stuff and I like to see games like these come to fruition.

 

I wish more devs took the time to explain this kind of thing this way more often.

 

Anyway. Im learning C#. So I sorta understand some of what you posted. Of course I just made a calculator in the tutorial and your using C++.
