MedicineHut posted:This interests me a lot. Is that dismemberment of the ship parts due to the 64 bit shenanigans loving up? Do you have a link where this is discussed? I don't know if it's been explained here, so here goes. Lets say that your ship position variable has enough precision for 1000 steps across the universe. So, each X/Y/Z dimension has 1000 places a object can be placed. Objects cannot be placed between steps. Bigger universes require more steps. The way decimal numbers work in programming is, the closer you are to 0, the smaller the steps are. This makes sense because, reasonably, numbers near 0 will be far more likely to be used than numbers at the extreme edge of the scale. Near 0,0,0, the steps might only be a millimeter big. at 700, 700, 700 the steps might be over a meter. If you fly your spaceship near 0,0,0, the ship can be placed more or less exactly where it's supposed to be. If you fly your spaceship to the outer reaches of the coordinate system, the steps become bigger. So, when the pieces of your ship are nailed down onto the steps, they don't fit quite right. 64 bits gives you a lot of steps, but they still get bigger at long distance from 0,0,0. If the size of a step is, say, a meter, then the parts of your ship might be up to a meter incorrect in their apparent position. The ship looks like it's coming apart at the seams. The easiest way to do this in most games is to fall through the world. Once you fall low enough on the Y axis, you'll start to see the vehicle come apart. This gets worse when you consider that ship parts are connected to each other in a hierarchy, and each part position is expressed relative to it's parent. So, your fuselage is connected to the object root, the wings are connected to the fuselage, the guns are connected to the wings, etc. This means every part has a position inaccuracy up to a full meter for each parent hierarchy level above it. So this is why, for example, the guns on that ship, and the winglet, at really screwed up, but the core of the ship is mostly ok. Note that these parts will be jittering like crazy every frame, as the game tries to nail each piece down onto the steps that happened to be nearest at that moment in time. There is no way to fix this, as any size variable will lose precision near the edges. It's proper to simply not use big numbers for positions. For example, you could divide your universe into a grid of cells, and then store the position of objects relative to the center of the cell they are in. This would keep the position numbers small. You might also store your ship's universal position in one coordinate system, but the actual ship model parts would have a position relative to that universal position, so position numbers of the things you can actually see around you would remain small (I think KSP does something like this). In a game like the original Starfox and Starfox II, the coordinate system only had something like 256 (or 1024?) steps in each direction. So, the player's ship was basically the center of the coordinate system, and everything else in the world had to be expressed relative to it. edit: It's also possible that some parts of the game still use 32 bit position steps (like in physics?), and they get converted to 64 bits at various points. This will break it even more. Rather than come up with an elegant solution from the beginning, CiG has been hacking in additional precision in stages as they make their tech demo bigger. It will continue to cause problems until they gut it completely, which they won't and can't do. Pantsbird fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Nov 25, 2017 |

The only thing that makes this more hilarious is imaging you slamming your tiny balled fists against the desk as you have a slapfight with Derek in the one place you cannot possibly win. Keep up the good work, we've been waiting for such a long time for this sort of entertainment. FailuretoReport this is your first test. DapperDon is basically the tutorial level for learning how to deal with sarcastic assholes. Later on they are smart and start moving around though. Also you lose no points for encountering Derek Smart. He is classified as a Natural Disaster and is something we all have to deal with periodically.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:He's getting a lot of info online, so I was thinking more about programmer mindset or best practices, stuff a self-taught guy might not pick up. He cannot apply these principles in a meaningful way while learning. He needs to experiment to learn, and he might pick up unnecessary restraint from such books. It really isn't a very good use of limited time and mental bandwidth to spend time on clean code, SOLID, test-driven development, documentation practices, etc. When programmers use these without the requisite experience and knowledge, it has a negative impact on productivity and quality. His time is much better spent writing code and learning from his mistakes. Also, someone mentioned web, and well, working with "modern web-development" is quite likely to teach bad habits. I guess it depends on his ultimate goal, to what degree it makes sense to spend time on code quality and design. Either way, learning the fundamentals will do more for his ability to write good code than any book on principles and patterns. It will also help him distinguish the cargo cult bullshit from actual sound advice. If it's just a hobby, it's fine to write dubious code, as noone else has to maintain it. But if he wants to make it his profession, there is a shitload of stuff to learn if he doesn't want to be a mediocre cargo cultist. It's perfectly viable to cash big paychecks and ship software without being particularly competent. Code can be surprisingly idiotic and still be shipped for a profit.
