[3:39:25][Q&A][:speech]
[3:39:50][@mapem_87][Is this series for total beginners in game programming?]
[3:40:19][@Kknewkles][Is it possible, or how hard is it, to have a debug system built-into your project that completely eliminates the need for a dedicated side debugger?]
[3:40:51][@macielda][Your mic is bouncing on the metal ring on your hood]
[3:41:13][@byteblind][So I just saw an old video where it says "Project will go at least until 2016". How far along towards the end are you?]
[3:42:02][@drive137][Is this going to be uploaded with the normal Handmade Hero code as well?]
[3:42:11][@bestalloys][Bug in the denominator check]
[3:42:30][ray.cpp: Fix Denom check]
[3:43:22][@bestalloys][Shouldn't you initialize your materials so EmitColor and RefColor are initialized?]
[3:43:41][@desuused][Maybe instead of reinventing BRDF (what you call reflectance), use some well-known BRDF, like Disney's? You can look at the implementation of one in e.g. Blender]
[3:44:11][@genos3][Could we use ray casting to determine a scene in real time that would allow infinite visibility, like with sparse voxel octree as opposed to a rasterizer?]
[3:45:39][@Miblo][Whatever happened to owlbot?]
[3:45:44][@siltnamis][why not use std::thread?]
[3:45:51][@pythor][Is it just a coincidence that three of the spheres all have their top / bottom line up almost exactly on the horizon? Or is that an artifact of something we're doing?]
[3:46:16][@sirslani][Could you just insert pragma omp on the raycaster loop?]
[3:46:36][@flyingsolomon][Could you disable windows bells? I hate these sounds]
[3:47:04][@macielda][The anti-alias has "roping" artifacts. Why?]
[3:48:06][View the anti-aliasing of the image in Paint]
[3:49:24][@bouke285][Will the growing popularity of multi-threading make procedural programming harder?]
[3:50:08][@bestalloys][Can you make one of the spheres a mirror?]
[3:50:23][ray.cpp: Create a mirror ball]
[3:52:00][@bluebooger][Is this source code included with $15 for Handmade Hero source?]
[3:52:30][@hoshoyo][Materials\[6\] should be 7 now]
[3:53:18][@sir_pinecone][Can you share the question prompter code too? I missed some of the stream and would like to see it]
[3:53:43][@genos3][I meant before if we could use traditional ray casting like Wolfenstein used to determine mesh visibility in the distance just using diffuse lighting]
[3:54:15][View our mirror ball]
[3:54:33][That's it, with plans for the future of our raycaster][:speech]
