Are you using std::ranges in your C++ code? If not, what is stopping you?
Ranges introduced a huge paradigm shift in the way we can write our C++ code. They can make the code way shorter, way better separated, and what's best - way more resilient to both logical and memory-related bugs. 🐞

My survival-horror solitaire card game #mansionmalevolence is shaping up nicely. It still needs some UX refinement so the player has immediate feedback about dodge chances or what happens when doors are opened, but the core gameplay loop is there and is fun!

Each time I am in a city with a historic city centre, I start imagining what kind of Warren Spector's "city block RPG" I could place in that setting.
Then I remind myself I have zero 3D production skills and zero writing skills and get back to my pixel art Pico8-styled projects 😅

#steam should get into the mobile space now. After Google announced they're going to require developer registration in order for the app to be installable, I am really missing an open mobile platform right now 😞

To implement drag n drop in my upcoming card game, I made a virtual joystick over the whole screen and when its value is nonzero, it means that user is dragging.
I could just listen to touch/mouse events, but going through virtual joystick means that I don't get fingers mixed up when user taps […]

When I install VS Code from Flathub, why does the terminal opened inside VS Code have a different content of $PATH than a normally opened term?
And why can't I just type 'code filename' to open a file in VS Code from terminal?

3) me why is this prohibited

I recently discovered a website called RetroAchievements and I must say it is astonishing how well it integrates with emulators!
It is part amazing and part depressing to see how toxic is the mainline gaming discourse versus what the hobby community can achieve.
