[00:00:54][Recap of previous episode]
[00:01:38][On managing programming time efficiently]
[00:03:19][The mixer interface with the game is not final, but we already know what it needs from the asset system]
[00:05:09][Plan for the day: definition of the asset system]
[00:07:17][Two aspects of the asset system: file management and memory management]
[00:10:01][Focusing on the asset files]
[00:11:12][Types and Tags decouple the game code from the asset table]
[00:15:39][Review of the asset system code]
[00:18:15][Asset types reference a contiguous range of actual assets in a separate table]
[00:20:30][Generalizing the asset system to allow for multiple ranges of the same asset type in different asset files]
[00:28:59][Making a program that writes a dummy asset file]
[00:31:46][One example of when to use libraries]
[00:48:28][Simplifying the asset structures by getting rid of SlotID]
[01:06:16][Q&A][:speech]
[01:06:39][@liqwidice][How many lines of code is the project so far?]
[01:07:44][@constantinopol][You mention LZ compression of assets. Will we write the compression algorithm?]
[01:08:21][@liqwidice][Are we using bitmaps for any other reason than how easily they can be processed?]
[01:09:11][@razoul05][What does "union" do when used in the struct?]
[01:12:49][@cthornhill][Did I see an off-by-one error on assigning bitmap_id? bitmap_id Result = {...->variable++} Is that increment correct?]
[01:13:48][Off-topic Q&A]
[01:13:54][@liqwidice][Opinions on specialized game development universities, like DigiPen?]
[01:14:13][@bernackels][Any thoughts about Unreal Engine 4?]
[01:14:20][@royballoons][How did you start learning C/C++? School or self-taught?]
[01:14:33][@thesizik][Have you considered having a keyboard-cam, so we can see your lightning fingers?]
[01:14:47][@popcorn0x90][Did you program during the weeks missed?]
