[2:01:11][Q&A][:speech]
[2:02:19][@wheeel][Q: What's your first major gameplay programming topic going to be?]
[2:02:52][@centhusiast][Q: Do you use string :library from CRT? I though we wrote our own version?][:"string manipulation"]
[2:03:27][@letambourinroyal][Q: Have you every programmed non-blocking TCP sockets? I wonder what is the cost of directly calling recv() / send() vs select()][:ipc]
[2:05:14][@uplinkcoder][Q: Could you improve the assert macro such that it prints the stringized expression which failed? On Linux the debugger does not always show which assert failed where]
[2:06:20][@centhusiast][Q: What is your thought on the structure of config files in Windows (.ini files) that have sections in the close brackets? Do you think it is a good structure for the game config file?][:"file format"]
[2:06:50][@s0imn][Q: How would you implement immediate mode-esque functionality for :rendering anti-aliased polygons? I am currently rendering n-gons with a geometry shader, but I am unable to implement anti-aliasing]
[2:10:34][@wheeel][Q: When trying to manage entities in my own game engine / game (just me on my own), do you think the Entity-Component structure is worth considering, or am I just giving myself too much work when it's just my own code?][:"data structure" :"entity system"]
[2:14:09][@naysayer88][I am here as the ambassador of DON'T BOTHER WITH COMPONENT SYSTEMS][:"data structure" :"entity system"]
[2:14:45][@toideng][Q: What should I choose: Xlib or XCB?][:api]
[2:15:08][@naysayer88][@handmade_hero Yeah, I haven't thought in a while to explain the "walling yourself in" thing, but that is 100% true. It's like playing Go... when you build a strategic structure, you are also filling the board and ruling out possibilities for yourself][:"data structure" :"entity system"]
[2:17:07][@devsigner][Q: I've been writing my own game / render loop but I've been having trouble getting the loop :timing to be constant. I seem to get a stutter or skip in motion, but it's not because the render procedure takes too long. Any ideas on what could be the issue? Sorry, I know it's not much to go on, but any ideas would be helpful[ref
