[2:01:40][Q&A][:speech]
[2:02:04][@vapenir][Q: Why have a separate "apron" concept instead of just generating "rooms" on the sides?]
[2:03:58][@longboolean][Q: Will aprons be underground and ground level only, or will you also have sky aprons for upper levels like in the case of a tall tower? You could have clouds, or birds or something. Might look neat with multiple layers, thicker clouds as you climb, etc.]
[2:04:51][@xdunex][Q: How to link a third party library like glfw3.lib, any suggestions on where to read about it?[ref

[2:07:03][@roam00010011][Q: Environment is very sterile because all placed static entities seem to be snapped to grid. Maybe vary the offset randomly from the tile center? Also the random height difference between floor tile could be severely reduced (who made that flooring, it's a hazard)][:"procedural generation"]
[2:07:54][@centhusiast][Q: Will you also replace XCount with Dim.x in the GenerateApron() function as you did with Tilecount.x and y?]
[2:08:22][@vapenir][Q: Have you ever used Sony's (SN Systems) debugger for PS3? Someone on Handmade Network called it the best debugger they'd ever used, but didn't really go into detail about what it did right]
[2:09:47][@centhusiast][Q: Have you had any unpleasant experience with the debugging on Linux?]
[2:10:03][@xdunex][Q: Was the old Dune 2 game made using GDI or OpenGL?[ref
