[1:34:59][Q&A][:speech]
[1:35:47][@ryanfleury][@handmade_hero I have alerted [@mr4thdimention the 4th dimension] of the bug]
[1:36:11][@exp_ix][Q: Are asset tags used for something like lister panels?][:"asset system"]
[1:36:33][@darthwutface][Q: The :API you mentioned not existing earlier for bulk sending packets: why doesn't it exist? Is there some hardware limitation?][:networking]
[1:40:22][@vironacorus][Q: Thoughts on Unity / Unreal / Godot (their quality)? How would an engine made by you look like?][:"game engine"]
[1:42:49][@kniffel5][Ori and the Will of the Wisps is done in Unity. Doesn't that count for AAA-quality? Though they had to modify it a bit][:"game engine"]
[1:46:51][@hmartarg][Q: Have you ever explained bit-fields and, if not, can you and is it still useful to use today? I just saw that in an old code base to do flags]
[1:50:35][@miles_gloriosus][@HmartArg @handmade_hero If it matters, bit-fields are nice to use in :networking, because you can pack the booleans in 1 or 2 bytes instead of taking up a byte for each one]
[1:51:04][@yrk_][Q: I didn't see you using any version control. Aren't you using any and are you not afraid of losing something valuable due to the mistake of deleting a bunch of code lines too quickly?[ref

[1:52:30][Using :compression, not bit-fields, to minimise transmission bandwidth for :networking][:speech]
[1:53:23][@centhusiast][Q: Could you explain the downside of the JSON data format?]
[1:55:40][@maquinahumana][Q: Why do you use 32-bit bools bool32 rather than something smaller?]
[1:56:49][@centhusiast][Q: Have you heard about zstandard data :compression developed by facebook?]
[1:57:31][Wrap it up]
