Do you want people to maintain Unity-specific forks of C# libraries och documentation so that Unity can make some non-backwards compatible changes to the language?

orenronen posted:I actually like Unity quite a bit and think there's more good library design in there than bad. It is a huge library with different parts made by different groups, though, so consistency among components isn't a thing and the bad parts tend to be pretty bad. I'm guessing the reason that Start() and friends aren't part of interfaces is ergonomics. Different scripts require differents sets of callbacks, and it's pretty verbose to add a single method that you might forget to annotate with override and mispell either way. They could be abstract methods with default implementations where Unity would check if every method is actually overridden by a MonoBehaviour subclass. One issue is that Unity also allows Start() to be a coroutine using IEnumerable. C# doesn't allow classes to have methods with the same signature except for the return type. I guess a better solution would've been to not call the IEnumerable method Start(). https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Coroutines.html Since UnityScript was succeeded by C#, the C# scripting layer was also retrofitted to work with the previously UnityScript conventions, which were quite dynamic.

That's why I think it's a good thing that they now try to keep pace with .Net Core and standardisation. Maintaining UnityScript, their own Javascript-like language on the CLR always felt like such a bad idea that was doomed from the start.

My coding horror yesterday is abusing pythons ability to convert strings to methods using getattr and making a generic gRPC wrapper for a Django web interface that will be used for provisioning new devices.

champagne posting posted:How does the other game engine, Unreal, handle all of this? Is it also insane in a load of ways? Their visual scripting language compiles to native. Not sure if it uses C++ as an intermediary or just dumps an AST for llvm. A subset of users believe this makes the visual scripting fast, because it's C++. That's more a failure of imagination on unreal users than a horror of the engine though. The same set usually in the same sentence talk about how that makes it faster than unity which transpiles the generated IL to C++ to compile with llvm. Last I looked at unreal it was insane in a lot of ways, but different from the ways unity is insane.

Lol, blueprint doesn't compile to native, it compiles to UnrealScript bytecode. UnrealScript was the scripting language they used through UE3, and it's not even close to native. Blueprint is useful for simple stuff (designers rigging up level triggers, etc) but in a full production game you don't want any tight loops in Blueprint, because it's very slow. Deffon posted:Haven't used UE that much, but it seems like they still have their homegrown marker macros and generator to implement reflection in C++ (similar to QT?) Yeah, it's this. UObject-derived classes have reflection macros. This also makes it easy to have Actor properties be replicated in network games. It's lightweight enough at runtime, and since UE4 is so popular, tools like Visual Assist understand unreal macros.

I should really stop trusting random people and focus on primary sources. In other news: people keep trying to solve problems with redis. Even problems that aren't caching or key-value things. Especially problems that are trivially resolved with an RDBMS. But also things that would be better resolved with a kd-tree or similar. It's very frustrating.

I feel like the curriculum for the Java class I'm taking might be a little out of date:quote:Create an applet named Vote.java that extends JApplet. This application will have three buttons: "Vote for Candidate 1," "Vote for Candidate 2," and "See Results." The user will select one of the candidates, and the applet will display the user's selection as well as randomly display the results between the two candidates. Embed this apple in an HTML page named vote.html.

Hi badidea, you can just type -75000 or if you REALLY want to specify a range for some reason you can also type -65000.00057. As it's currently working and usable, it's not a high priority fix for now. We did put it on our to-do list though!

ChickenWing posted:Why That's a horror in and of itself. But it's probably just a matter of the developer hating all other status codes and just loving 200. But, what if, instead of just returning 200 with a json that contains the error message, you get a json with some members that contain javascript code which when executed in the browser will display the error message. Oh, you're not a browser you say? Tough luck I guess. Want that error message? Learn javascript.

I think that happens because, from the developer's perspective, the client made a request for some json and successfully got some json, and the HTTP transport layer isn't really something they think about.
