[2:36:44][Q&A][:speech]
[2:38:17][@drzool][Q: Would nomenclature like: Low / High / Width be helpful?]
[2:38:36][@nxsy][Q: Would using a range of low values and a range of high values for dimensions be easier than having two volumes?][:geometry]
[2:38:54][@floorislava][Q: Why are you appending 'x' to some of the types?]
[2:40:15][@vkar2][Q: Didn't you want to avoid recursion?]
[2:41:46][@qwindoo][Q: Could the hero walk outside the rooms in this setup (in the gray / void zone)?][:movement]
[2:42:50][@nxsy][Q: Low can be between -30 and 5, and high can be between -4 and 20. As opposed to a min volume of -4 and 5 and a max volume of -30 and 20. (In one dimension). Makes it easier to fit in my brain, at least][:geometry]
[2:43:48][@foocat][Q: Do you think that languages that interact with the GPU directly (like Nvidia's CUDA or AMD HIP) would be useful for game programming?][:hardware :language]
[2:45:04][@thejimjames40][Q: (Off-topic) Do you miss some features that exist in C but are absent in C++?][:language]
[2:46:31][@internal_static_void_][Q: Thoughts on DXR?]
[2:46:38][@0lpbm][Q: will you ever get back to the nicely aligned grass / rocks bitmaps, map them over the current tiles maybe?][:art]
[2:47:31][@tmtow][Q: Sorry, I could not exactly follow, but can you guess at what makes the interval computations tiresome?][:geometry]
[2:51:29][@uebel_andre][Q: Do you feel it'd be worth it to abstract away subsystems (input, audio, lifecycle) with an Event system?]
[2:51:58][@vaualbus][Q: Can we try all the rooms now?]
[2:52:08][Let CreateOrphanage() try and create the whole building][:"procedural generation"]
[2:52:42][:Run the game to show that it's always connecting rooms at the further side, and will inevitably fail when it would need to connect along another side][:"procedural generation"]
[2:54:37][@jim0_o][Q: Have you ever made a visualization tool for working stuff like this out? (I'm thinking of something like live-code-editing combined with showing values on screen and lerping between previous and new values showing how the changes affect the scene when the code reloads.)][:"debug visualisation"]
[2:55:02][@vaualbus][Q: Also, after all of this code on :rendering and this, is code reloading still working?]
[2:55:42][Demonstrate the hot code reloading by making LightingTest() return immediately][:lighting :rendering :run]
[2:56:59][@devblacky][Q: Are you doing custom :memory management?]
