[0:02][Recap yesterday's post-stream suggestion from @binjimin, that our erroneous ParentAlignType may be caused by an unset parent TextureHandle][:speech]

[1:25:10][Make InitializeEditor() enable ShouldDrawChildren and proofread our new children hiding code][:"entity system" :ui]
[1:28:27][Note that our entity selection does not record which specific asset we clicked][:"entity system" :run :ui]
[1:29:16][Scour our child sprite hiding code][:"entity system" :research :ui]
[1:32:36][Find that the hero's "head" child sprite never gets hidden][:"entity system" :run :ui]
[1:34:24][Step in to ShouldDrawChildren() and compare the ParentID and HitTest->Editor->HighlightID][:"entity system" :run :ui]

[1:40:59][Find that our "Show Children" button remains busted][:"entity system" :run :ui]
[1:42:14][Step in to ShouldDrawChildren() and again compare our values to find that they differ][:"entity system" :run :ui]

[1:53:31][Fix F4 to display the HHA page, and remove SectionPicker()][:"entity system" :ui]
[1:54:08][Try out our slicker asset editor, aligning the hero][:"entity system" :run :ui]
[2:01:06][Reload the game to find the our alignment points persist, and align Molly and Orphan #4][:"entity system" :run :ui]
[2:06:06][Q&A][:speech]
[2:06:28][@0lpbm][Q: Shouldn't body pieces' displacement be a function of :camera distance (and maybe angle)?][:"entity system"]
[2:07:48][@0lpbm][Q: If nobody jumps in with another Q, maybe can you do the gloves?][:"entity system"]
[2:08:31][@pragmascrypt][Q: Suggestion: Maybe turn down :lighting quality in debug mode so debug can run with higher FPS again][:performance]
[2:08:38][@saidwho12][Q: What graphics :API(s) does [~hero Handmade Hero] use?]
[2:09:13][@vapenir][Q: Speaking of :lighting, I assume this isn't what the final lighting will look like, right? What do you have planned for that?]
[2:10:09][@eyedoteye][Q: Dear [@cmuratori Mr Muratori], I followed like 15 of your videos and now I'm in a game dev studio. Are you proud of me, Sensei?]
[2:10:35][@vapenir][Q: Have you tried out Vulkan on any project yet?][:api]
[2:11:03][@wheeel][Q: What causes the flickering in the :lighting?]
[2:11:24][@0lpbm][Q: The skewing when moving on Y is only applied on the body. Should the head also be modified?][:camera :"entity system"]
[2:12:10][@saidwho12][Q: Is light estimated using Monte Carlo integration?][:lighting]
[2:13:14][@centhusiast][Q: Is there any good article on :camera in the computer graphic field or video games? I am ready to learn in detail about the camera. Thanks![ref

[2:19:58][@myop][Q: Regarding Vulkan, I really wonder why you think it's not relevant these days. Or are you talking about your current project? Thanks][:api]
[2:22:45][@ormone88][Q: Are you going to to compose specific particle effects with the editor, or are they all going to be composed at runtime?][:"particle system" :ui]
[2:23:55][@botondar][Nintendo Switch is kinda pushing Vulkan, isn't it? Which I guess is kind of similar to mobile programming][:api]
[2:26:07][@insobot][Structname membername =]
[2:26:43][@vapenir][id announced they're going Vulkan-only for the next engine, for whatever it's worth][:api]
[2:27:59][@vapenir][Does OS support really matter that much? Seems like it's really the GPU / driver vendors who you have to care about][:api]
[2:29:09][@botondar][Q: Hasn't this "have to use the platform specific :API" thing always been the case for multiplatform console games?]
[2:30:06][@saidwho12][Linux people care a lot about Vulkan, though, if that means anything][:api]
[2:31:22][@hexadecimalinteger][Even macOS is not worth it for most][:api]
[2:31:59][Close it up][:speech]
