I finally joined the GitHub Sponsors program. If you want to support my projects, like EnTT or uvw, well... this is the right time to do it! :) github.com/users/skypjack… #gamedev #libuv #entt #uvw #opensource #cpp #moderncpp #github #sponsorship

@MJKlaim @supahvee1234 Sad but true

Does anyone have any trick to use `operator<=>` (C++20 spaceship operator) without including `<compare>`? I just want to `=default` a `operator<` for a simple aggregate type. `<compare>` brings `<concepts>` and `<type_traits>`, compile-time dependencies I want to avoid. #cpp

@supahvee1234 I don't see the EnTT dense map, shame on you :)

Six months later, a new version of #EnTT is here! Lots of changes (as you might expect) among which entity storage stands out with all that goes with it. Check it out! github.com/skypjack/entt #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #entitycomponentsystem #cpp #moderncpp #opensource

@icculus Is there a way to get sdl3 from vcpkg? EnTT for example has an experimental flavor that lets you get the upstream version, whatever it is.

Also new to SDL3 tonight: read-write locks! Mutexes that let read-only threads run in parallel! wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/SDL_Creat…

@Manu343726 @supahvee1234 "lol, glitch". Stable genius.

.@supahvee1234 look at this, from /r/cpp. Best comment I've seen on the topic so far. Nailed it.

Six months later, here we go with a new version of #EnTT! Storage based model, full support to non-movable types and a context aware reflection system. Check it out! github.com/skypjack/entt #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #entitycomponentsystem #cpp #moderncpp #opensource

I finally completed the brush-up of the articles I wrote over the last 10 years! With this 🧵, I am going to present them 1 by 1 as they will be worthy of attention for a while. This exercise has been cathartic for me and I hope it can deserve your RT or share. #gamedev #coding

@sebify Good job!

@hexereisoftware Thank you so much for the support and the kind words! I'm glad it helped.

💖 I'm sponsoring @scaipgec for his EnTT library, because it is an amazing piece of work, that makes a developers life so much easier, leaves no room for optimisation. Such work must be supported to ensure it stays the best ECS available! github.com/sponsors/skypj…

@_duplo_ How to get sick. Lesson number 1.

Dress for the weather you want, not for the weather you have.

Four months and a new version of #EnTT is here! Performance improvements, lot of QoL feature and a few rewrites here and there. Check it out! github.com/skypjack/entt #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #entitycomponentsystem #cpp #moderncpp #opensource

And so it begins.

Thanks to @PlayEmberSword for using #EnTT and also for the pleasant chat today! 🧡 "EnTT has been a dream so far, we haven't found a single bug to date and it's super easy to work with" #entt #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #entitycomponentsystem #cpp #moderncpp #opensource

Return to Monkey Island. This 2022 also has something good to offer then.

A little something we've been working on for the past 2 years in complete secrecy. youtu.be/sahskKAxSCY

@sebify 🤷‍♂️

@scaipgec I work with oop libraries all the times and I still don't need inheritance for the code that uses ecs 🤷‍♂️

"#ECS libs can't easily support polymorphic types. They can't tell you which type derives from which other." Well, #EnTT does. With no built-in support for that. Because you can shape it according to your needs. godbolt.org/z/jhTf5GWjc #cpp #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

@sebify Finally, I've already migrated a bunch of projects from an OOP design to a component based one and, man, this thing would have been very helpful sometimes. Quite a lot actually. Since it's free, again, why not? As with any other feature, it's there, just use it or ignore it.

@sebify Because I've found that the world is bigger than what I thought. That is, I don't need to but this doesn't turn the world into a hierarchy-less place. A thread.

@sebify Also, third party libraries are a thing. You don't write hierarchies nor use inheritance but you can't stop others from doing it. It's your choice then between using that library and dealing with its hierarchies or just giving up because "no, we don't do it".

@sebify Do I need it? Indeed no. Do other people need it? Apparently yes and I won't fight nor try to convince them that I'm right and they should not. I may also be wrong and since it works and I've nothing to do to make it happen, well, why not? :)
