osmosisch Posted November 12, 2014 Great stuff Erkki, thanks. I definitely agree that trying to think functionally is very helpful even if you're not necessarily working in a functional language. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason Bakker Posted November 13, 2014 After a few years of working in C++ I'm now working in C# and am getting really into it. It's crazy how easy you can create anonymous functions to hand around little bits of logic, or even pass around methods as Actions. A few years ago I spent a while trying to set up functors in C++ and just couldn't get the templating stuff to work (we were rolling all our own stuff, so couldn't use Boost or anything). Anyway. C# is pretty sweet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iax Posted November 15, 2014 For anybody interested in game programming, have a look at http://handmadehero.org/ Handmade Hero is a project to develop a real professional-quality game from scratch and stream and comment on the whole programming part of it. It's meant as a teaching material for aspiring game programmers. I'm pretty confident it will be great because of the guy behind the project: Casey Muratori. Not only he's an experienced programmer who worked on some of the best-quality libraries in the game industry, he also likes and knows how to talk about programming in an insightful no-BS way. Just a small dsiclaimer: The course looks like a long-time commitment and it's intended for people really interested in how games work underneath and how to program them including very low-level stuff so I'm not sure it's a good time investment for people interested in scripting in Unity or other tools.

SuperBiasedMan Posted November 17, 2014 An hour a day. Hoo boy I got a lot of watching to do. I hope my pre-existing JS knowledge is enough for me to keep up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njoos Posted November 19, 2014 Kind of a steep learning curve going from JS to c++ game engine development, but I'm sure you can do it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blambo Posted November 23, 2014 Currently: angry that haxe assigns variables by reference instead of getting the value and assigning it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
