|

[1:55:10][@mikka3][Q: Do you have any tips for how someone would go about moving an existing codebase from OOP, assuming you're in control of it? By the way, thank you very much for the series. I'm learning so much, that $15 doesn't even begin to compare with the value you're providing. The fact the series is free is even more awesome][:language]
|
||
[1:58:59][@s0llygaming][Q: I'm only on episode 81 so excuse the noobiness: I've created different "modules" in my code that store different data for my entities (physics, render, AI, etc). Would it be silly to create an "anonymous" module type that union's these different modules into one generic struct? Meaning I can put them all into one array to pass around etc.][:"data structure"]
|
||
[2:02:21][@zrizi][Q: It seems that tracing rays to collect light is a heavy operation. If ray tracing supported GPU :hardware was common these days, would it be fair to say that you would prefer to move the :lighting computation to the GPU entirely?]
|
||
[2:03:12][@zrizi][Q: (Off-topic) Talking to graphics folks, it seems that shader permutation management is a real pain point. On the other hand, you have titles like Doom that use a significant small number of permutations and pipeline states. In a more complex 3D title, what’s your take on GPU complexity management? How will you design a solution that scales?][:hardware]
|
||
[2:06:37][@zrizi][Q: (Off-topic) Real production related question. In [~hero Handmade Hero], we have a general idea of how the game should look and feel like (mechanics, art direction, etc.). We’re tackling engine problems because they are interesting, and I’m very grateful for you doing it. How will the process of tackling things and “exploring” the engine design look like in a real production environment based on your experience? Say, maybe, based on your experience working on The Witness with [@naysayer88 Jon Blow]?]

[2:08:20][@bulmanator][Q: Tips on reading academic papers about graphics and stuff? I always seem to get lost in their technical jargon and don’t really get anything out of them. A good example is your video about GJK[ref
