    Your software?
  • f
    (Unless it's super secret NSA software, I'm just curious 😛 )
  • b
    It's architecture based on ithare.com books. Main part is optimized serializer. All very work in progress and full of TODOs and possible bugs. Also complex as hell.
  • b
    Spent practically 2 years on it already.
  • b
    Plan is to make a bunch of small iogames (starting with agario clone), and work my way up to MMO stuff.
  • b
    In the next 15 years.
  • f
    Wow, what a master plan, that's crazy, and cool! Nice one. I've heard of ithare before 🙂
  • f
    A plan on the scale of 15 years is pretty cool. Reminds me of the quote 'most people overestimate what they can do in the short term and underestimate what they can do in the long term'
  • b
    15 years was sarcastic? Thats a helluva long view 🙂

    re: that gc bug... you could always edit your hxcpp locally to see if makes a diff
  • b
    hxcpp/blob/master/src/hx/gc/Immix.cpp
    , change:
  • b
    Copy code
    #ifdef _MSC_VER
// MSVC optimizes by taking the address of an initernal data member
static int sgCheckInternalOffset = sizeof(void *)*2;
static int sgCheckInternalOffsetRows = 1;
#else
static int sgCheckInternalOffset = 0;
static int sgCheckInternalOffsetRows = 0;
#endif
  • b
    to
  • b
    Copy code
    static int sgCheckInternalOffset = sizeof(void *)*2;
static int sgCheckInternalOffsetRows = 1;
  • b
    (if i follow the fix correctly)
  • b
    It wasn't really. I wanna start getting into some bigger multiplayer stuff within 2-3 years, but the MMO I have in mind is long away. And I am crazy. I'm very very close, but also running out of time. I need to start making min wage by end of year with this. Hoping to have first shitty iogame beta in a month. But my productivity lately is terrible (like 20% of average).
  • b
    But if it works... man if it works...
  • f
    Thanks for suggestion Ian, rebuilding now 🙂
  • b
    fair enough... 15 years seems like ages... maybe its just me... enough time to have a kid and it almost to finish mandatory schooling - haha... ... thats a serious amount of time... not honestly sure any plan (except maybe building a dam or something) can be "15 years"... still, better to say "15 years" than "15 days"... overestimating is usually preferable to underestimating
  • f
    holy crap that fixed it
  • f
    ...except for when I place an entity. That's okay though, at least that sounds like something within my code 😄
  • f
    Yeah looks like a normal null native crash 🙂 Thanks Ian. 👍
  • b
    Well it depends on how strictly you define a plan. I guess the 3 years is a plan. The 15 years is more of a vision/direction.
  • f
    A three year plan sounds more reasonable, and still long term tbh. I imagine that 15 years from now, the things in my life that will change most drastically will be, by far, things outside of my programming (work, life, relationships, location).
  • f
    Let's hope covid isn't still around 😬
  • b
    I don't like change. Things I fear most is Haxe being abandoned or Rob not doing Kha. :D
  • f
    Indeed! Some things should stay the same 😆
  • b
    And they are technically solvable issues. But I did invest a lot in Haxe.
  • b
    The serializer would be difficult to port to other language.
  • f
    Luxe being abandoned and the post about programming languages just being a tool kind of shook me a bit. My current 'plan for the worst hope for the best' should be continue to use Haxe, learn as many languages as is required to be a good general engineer. Of course, fun projects get in the way, but I think that'd be ideal 😛
