@honeymoon250 Because time is limited and we have to sacrifice something to gain more time. And that sacrifice is sleep. I did it for quite a while, but it is not sustainable and it catches up with you. I don't do that anymore. I used to wake up at 4:00 to 4:30.

Why

@Rainmaker1973 Oh god yes. Military and outside of military.

Have you?

@ImmatureGamer Very good point. But I think this applies to all software, not just video games.

Game devs overthink this way too much. Just publish the game. Worst case, nobody plays it. Best case, it blows up and changes everything. You’ll never know which one it is unless you ship it.

@codewithpri Yeah...pretty much. IMHO, nothing really inventive.

90% of AI startups are just ChatGPT with a different UI 😭

@AlfinCodes VSCode if you keep it technically as an "editor". My first dev tool was qbasic on msdos. Then it was visual basic 4.0 which came with its own dedicated IDE.

Developers be honest. What was your first code editor?

Show me what you're building. 👇 No pitch deck. No elevator speech. Just drop the link. I'll click every single one. 🔥

@FreyaHolmer Interesting! I like it!

been feeling kinda stressed lately so I made a little prototype is this anything

Game dev shouldn't be a black box. 🧊 Built this demo fast using standard #csharp. Why I love Velaptor: ✅ Clean Lifecycle ✅ Hardware Access ✅ Performance Ready to start your 2D game journey? This is your sign! github.com/KinsonDigital/… #velaptor #gamedev #dotnet

@eddiejaoude I will be now. I signed up for API access to Anthropic and Minstral. Lol

Do you watch your AI token usage?

Easy mouse input logic. 🖱️ Did you know #velaptor has a built-in, easy-to-use mouse API? From simple clicks to scroll-wheel directions, handling interactions is just a few lines of code. docs.velaptor.io/docs/guides/gu… #gamedev #dotnet

Want precise control in your 2D game? 🎮 Check out how #velaptor handles keyboard input. Tracking keyboard state is the secret for detecting key releases & creating responsive mechanics. ⌨️ Clean, simple, and powerful. 💪🏻 docs.velaptor.io/docs/guides/gu… #gamedev #dotnet #indiegame

@CordasFilip Great idea! 😉

@KDCoder I mean like code wiki or just asking copilot to auto generate the md files based on the code codewiki.google/?utm_source=bl…

We are so close! 🌟 Only 9 more stars until Velaptor hits the 100-star milestone on GitHub! Visibility helps us grow the #dotnet #gamedev ecosystem. If you love 2D dev, could you spare a second to help us cross the finish line? Star here: github.com/KinsonDigital/…

@TechByTaraa 17 to 18

Be honest, at what age did you started coding?

@BatsouElef Thanks @BatsouElef! I appreciate that. 😊

@KDCoder You should always be sharing your products/projects. And you will always be welcome on my feed.

What are you building right now? An app? A website? A side project? Learning to code? If you’re in tech, reply! I'd love to know more.👋

#velaptor has high-performance audio powered by my open-source audio library CASL! 🔉 Stop worrying about audio complexities. Choose your mode: ✅ Instant playback for SFX. ✅ Audio streaming for music. Efficient. Simple. Powerful. 🎵 #gamedev #dotnet #csharp

@eddiejaoude Grats!
