Jewel posted:It's returning the closest thing to that value that a double can store. It doesn't do that though. It returns a double (this is the type) who's value is that of the nearest integer. Which is exactly what you would expect and what it says.

Subjunctive posted:You also end up spending a ton more time on API futzing, because the different components can no longer talk directly to each other and make assumptions about how the other implementations behave. From my experience this ends up being beneficial to the platform as a whole anyways

coffeetable posted:There're a bunch of languages used in game development. The one you should learn is C#, because that's what Unity3D uses. Unity3D is by far and away the best way to make your own game, and making your own game is by far and away a) the best way to impress interviewers b) the best way to find out if you actually like making games. Just for the record, there are a plethora of tools and options outside of Unity, and while it is the flavor of the month on these forums, there are plenty of other reasonable options that won't have you working in a hulking ide pouring through broken documentation trying to figure out which third party plugins you need to create ground breaking game components like a GUI. If you're not doing some sort of three dimensional projection I really don't see any reason to use Unity over any other number of tools, such as Construct, GameMaker, etc.

It seems like an investment vs reward thing. Weekly maintenance is the norm and honestly, it's an online video game, three hours of downtime every Tuesday morning isn't a deal breaker for anyone's customers in that industry.

The OS spam stuff should be in your personal .gitignore - https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/Global/OSX.gitignore is their OSX ignore to add Goddamn you mac users if I have to take out another .DS_Store

Obsurveyor posted:Nah, this just makes it even more complicated and requires everyone have this before committing. Better to just explicitly block this junk in the project so it doesn't have any chance of sneaking through. Well, that may be the case, but you're going to have to build a much more robust .gitignore There's no reason for you to ever commit a .DS_Store, you should avoid that in general, which makes using the personal .gitignore make sense If your teammates are too dumb to set up a .gitignore you're going to be looking at a real mess https://github.com/github/gitignore/tree/master/Global These are the gitignore files they reccomend for OS/IDE files and such, quite simply http://kleber-swf.com/the-definitive-gitignore-for-unity-projects/ isn't as robust as solution nor is it the best one. But hell it's not the git thread so I guess it doesn't matter that much. edit. I guess what I'm saying is go ahead and add .DS_Store to your project's .gitignore, not going to hurt anything, but a lot of people dont even know about the global .gitconfig and .gitignore files, which is the ideal place to deal with those sorts of things down with slavery fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Jun 14, 2014 |

xzzy posted:It's older, and a bit simpler to grasp the concept. The natural progression of SCM over the years went something like rcs -> cvs -> svn -> git. Is it really simpler? SVN is kind of an rear end in a top hat if you ask me. CVS isn't any simpler or easier than SVN for that matter. I'm admittedly a pretty big git fanboy, but there's really no reason to install SVN in this day and age.

Stick100 posted:In many ways you're asking whats the benefit of a Version Control System vs a Distributed Source Control System. There are many benefits to having a single source control server, these include exclusive locks and also maintenance/maintainability at scale. Well, no. I'm actually familiar of the differences but I just don't see how SVN in particular is going to help with anything you listed. quote:The GIT DVCS means each and every single computer maintains the entire history of the project. This is great for small teams and disconnected workflow (you can work without network) however this becomes unworkable as simple things like changing a file format all of a sudden take your git project from a 20GB project to a 35GB project. Oh then maybe someone changes it back (but without a revert) now you have a 50GB project. This is not true. For one, you can split your project into multiple repositories if you don't want others to be impacted or use shallow clones to check out only some parts of the history. Yes, git doesn't deal well with non-text content in the context of diffing but honestly assets much bigger than the occasional small image don't really belong, imo, in the same place as your code, or at least the two should not be that interlinked. Simply seperating the assets into it's own "project" might solve a lot of your problems with git. quote:This tax can kill your history. There are ways of purging history, but most everyone I know who has hit this wall ended up deleting the .git folder and making a new repo. This has the essence of deleting the entirety of the history (in that repo). It was a drastic action but required because they didn't have big enough SSDs to hold the project or didn't want to download 120GB of files/history just to work on a 20GB project. This is a failure of system administration/project management. Not a mark against git quote:Git is not the end all, but it's often the best solution for small teams/projects. Nowadays code is so small and the source control is so important that Git is usually the best solution for code but has weakness with large binary assets compared to the other solutions (being as source control does nothing for them and is usually optimized as managing source, not assets). Oh, I know that there are tools that are great for dealing with diffing large binaries. Last I checked SVN isn't one of them. Why use it over something like Mercurial if you're insistent on having a centralized repo (which you can really do with git too, I don't know why so many people get a hardon of the distributed versus centralized issues, you can replicate the same asinine workflows in dvcs systems just as well as centralized ones. down with slavery fucked around with this message at 05:24 on Sep 2, 2014 |

Jo posted:I'm looking around for jobs and wonder if this is hurting my candidacy. I have a public repo (Bitbucket for fun stuff, Github for academic stuff), but it's mostly filled with the software I've abandoned for various reasons. Anything I'm pushing out as "commercial" is in there, but private until I've abandoned it for a while. Better to have no repo or a repo filled with the ghosts of old projects? I'd rather see the repo with "ghosts" which I assume everyone's github profile is going to have. Unless your only projects are years old I don't think there would be a real issue. Also, if you develop on Linux, you can always make a dotfiles repo which is always a good conversation starter in interviews from my experience.

It's a shame there isn't more incentive to do post-mortems on huge projects like WoW, I'm sure a book covering the history of the game from a developer's perspective would be fascinating.
