StarDust has an interesting group of players. There's 30% of people that seem to just open it play a game & close it, but then there's this group of players that are playing the game for over 2h

In the future, "source code" will just be the AI prompts that generate the app/game

I didn't notice it but a better sprintf, std::format is finally here in C++20! string s = std::format( "the new {} {}", "sprintf", 2 ); best to ask your local chatgpt something like "C++20 std::format format specifiers"

Trying to break open the door into the shed behind the house! We're putting tons of little bespoke animations like these around the game world. It's a lot of work hand-drawing everything -- but I think it's going to be part of what makes Vivarium special. #screenshotsaturday

actually what the hell, ive got a few minutes to burn

@notch make a mashup, I don't think you'll be able to help doing that anyway

Honest and legitimate request for feedback for once: The new game I'm passionately working on is currently set to be a traditional roguelike (i.e. ADOM, nethack, etc) mixed with a tile based first person dungeon crawler (ie Legend of Grimrock (esp 2), Eye of the Beholder) But then I gots to thinking that maybe there are people who like my work but might not share my taste in retro nostalgia and would prefer for me to make a spiritual successor thing to Minecraft, and I mean sure, I'd take that cash. So market research. I'd be happy to oblige either, which one would make you happier?

StarDust has been sent in for review!

your first line of code may not be the first line of main/WinMain. It may be in the constructors of globals you have declared

In testing found memory was ballooning I added a memory tracker to the game by overloading operator new/delete: void* operator new( size_t size ) { void *p = malloc( size ); if( !p ) { throw std::bad_alloc(); } if( memory.trackingOn ) { memory.track( p, size ); } return p; } found the leak!
