Discussion!

Post by wizard4 »

I. Love. The. Discussion.

I. Am. A. Rubbish. Programmer.

I. Do. Not. Possess. The. Gift.

For 10 years I returned to my spot, hoping to learn the intricacies of code. Struct, Int, Push Back.

C++ made me ill. I can hardly even use Godot or SDL. I'm a primitive man in front of a complex machine. Help.

The only thing I can do is praise Niko and the team, and the leader for the last 20 years(?) for giving us Irrlicht. What a top job. What a feat.

Stay proud gentleman. You gave us a gift. Unfortunately I was too disabled to use it.

A while back I was so disgusted at the fact that C was being used to create games. It wasn't built for that. Which man or woman invented the game loop? It's abusing C. That's half the story. Doom was just wicked.

What compiler do you intend to use to compile irrlicht god?

My favorite compiler is dev c++ 4.9.9.2, I am compiling irrlicht 1.8.5 there, if you want I can give you the .dll and so on to run it with dev 4.9.9.2

I've used MSVC, GCC and Clang (M$, Linus and Goggle). I've tried tool chains too with little success. I'm comfortable with whichever as they all work. It takes time to understand an IDE and the compiler/linker options, so it depends what I'm doing. So far I've always built a program for my own machine. I'm simply learning C++ and what it can do.

wizard4 = a luser

I wondered why I felt there was no need for IRC/Discord/Forums.

AI would say I use the light coming off my mobile phone screen to type in the right keys to send you a block of text to the sourceforge servers. That data would be downloaded to your computer from the servers, that are most likely stuck in a dark room with a cooling fan running, and then delivered to the display on your monitor. Only made visible by the rays of light hitting your eyes. You may get a dopamine hit, or you may react in a negative way :)
