Programmers seem very opposed to in-code documentation. Yet I've never heard a decent argument why. What is the reason you don't like it?

A good free tool that we use to make FX sounds is Bfxr. It allows you to easily create retro sounds for your game! 🔊 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #bfxr #free #games #tools #sound #fx

I want to meet other noobie game developers! Are you here? #gamedev #indiegames

@DruidMechanics For me the most important thing to comment is why the code exists in first place. That is something even the most readable code cannot tell you. I agree that it is not always necessary, but more often than not it is, and is often neglected.

@FlorisGroen I think comments are invaluable, but not always necessary. Sometimes descriptive names are self-explanatory enough, though even then, a comment mentioning an important nuance can be very much appreciated.

IMO, knowing how to document your code is an important skill as a professional programmer. What is your take on code comments?

I like this quote: programming languages are not just technology, they are what programmers think in. They’re half technology and half religion.

Ok 7 hours later and our Stylized Fire Shader is looking preeeeetty sweet. Added sparks and smoke as well. Particularly struggled with lerping between discrete offsets on a single texture, like a smooth flipbook, for the smoke. #gamedev #unity3d #screenshotsaturday

Porting a custom shader to Unity HDRP. This is getting complicated. #madewithunity #shadergraph #shader

As a programmer, I dislike it when a programmer blindly follows a rule, without considering the purpose of the rule. Especially when applying the rule in a particular case runs counter to the purpose.

@mnenoff Thank you!

@FlorisGroen Wow, looks really nice!

Super chuffed that we have been able to achieve this level of quality on #mobile. Kudos to the team. #digitalhuman #diversity #unity3d

"Latency Numbers Every Programmer Should Know" It is hard for humans to get the picture until you translate it to "human numbers":

@GeranBronn You are welcome.

@FlorisGroen thanks for the follow 😁👌

I want to get more into the art side of things, rather than programming. To all (technical) artists out there, what are good resources for learning?

Controversial opinion on OOP that I happen to agree with. m.youtube.com/watch?v=QM1iUe…

@bluegoogames Thx! It was coded in Notepad++ using threeJS. I actually dislike shader generators as I want 100% control.

@FlorisGroen Really nice! Do you code manually or using shader graph or something similar?:)

Little webgl thingy that will eventually be used in a website.

@Soundy777 Thx
