@ummerrr oh i'm not making the actual game, that's just UZDoom. BUT we should be able to work on a map together with my editor at some pt!

@steverockan let us know when can start running PvP on custom maps at work!

ok, used my vibe-coded level editor tonight to try and make e1m1. so far so good :)

@andreintg please share deets! i would imagine a manip is fairly doable, but no idea what crazy design you have in mind :) yeah definitely feeling the "roll up my sleeves" urge...i'm gonna try asking it to create unit tests, which i think is very doable in my case. maybe that will help.

@steverockan I'm on day two of using knowledge (and patience) to get gemini to make me a better manipulator. About to roll up my sleeves and get it done myself. Manipulators are the one thing I hate doing the most and I find myself doing them over and over. Karma I guess🤣

i'm definitely using some deep knowledge to try and fix these bugs: "you're still creating a new line between the two. you should never rely on midpoints or centroids to determine if you're inside a sector or not - we are dealing with concave polygons with possible holes"

i'm definitely having to ask it to fix some more subtle geometry bugs, such as properly sharing linedefs when creating adjacent sectors. it is making me a bit nervous...i feel compelled to go in there and fix things myself, or at least understand what it's doing.

major features tonight: 3d editing: change floor/ceiling height with mouse wheel; assign/copy/paste textures. here's me making the iconic e1m1 carpet section.

@ummerrr it is so much fun!! claude opus doing all the heavy lifting

@steverockan This is so awesome!

we've got entity previews!

Creative control + magical chaos. The amount of each is up to you!

man i am having so much fun vibe coding. i'm making the DOOM level editor of my dreams. exactly the UX i want. no one to argue with. no one else to worry about. haha.

sudden thought: vibe coding can allow non-engineer users to modify open source apps to customize them like crazy...

ok, claude code fixed the double-sector-splitting problem...it took like 5 prompts, but it did it!

Can I ban fandom from all my Google search results?

@mrdoob RIP google poly :D

One year since this tweet. I thought they were going to do a public gallery with everyone's creations, but I guess curation is hard.

@lucasmeijer your list is great, but i think you're very wrong about AI written code. look at it as intellisense and refactoring tools, but 100x more powerful. it is *amazing* at refactoring and writing boiler-plate-heavy code. ignore the "vibe" hype, but don't dismiss it entirely.

I think "Have AI write code that becomes part of the product I'm responsible for" is very low on a very long list of ways AI can help me ship better software faster.

Did an agentic coding talk yesterday. Asked the room "who is really shipping better software faster?". Half the room raised their hand (i did not :). I'm skeptical.

@lucasmeijer i think i am. but i still read every line of code, i give it pretty specific guidance, etc. definitely not just vibing it. yet.

@DrBimi @mrdoob implants seems to be the only realistic path forward, yeah. i'm not sure even great AR glasses will do it. if it does, i think it will be "floating post-it notes" type of experiences, not fully immersive "metaverse" stuff. but i'd be happy to be wrong.

@steverockan @mrdoob Or implants, but I think we're talking about a different timescale here. First, we'll simply have good AR with lightweight glasses, that should come the fastest.

I finished Meta's Horizon Worlds so they don't have to.

@mrdoob @DrBimi It basically needs to be the holodeck. Purely visual stimulus with limited physical input just isn’t compelling enough. Saying that as someone who loved and finished many VR games, but hasn’t touched it in years.

@DrBimi I agree.

Now with DLSS 5 ON
