@TheGingerBill LOL, those are essentially banned in our codebase 🤣

@TheGingerBill What has always confused me is that I think of ECS as a style, not a library or a framework, but I appear to be a minority.

@nicbarkeragain @jakubtomsu_ @its_bvisness Well, Clay + Raylib appears straightforward given the example you provide. Right now I'm figuring out how to get interactions to work, such as registering an 'OnClick' and 'OnHover'

@nicbarkeragain I confess I haven't looked into it deeply but I'm curios if Clay and RayGUI would be a good pairing? Clay as the layout engine and RayGUI as the projection of the result? The snag I'm thinking of is text and wrapped text, though. I have a new project, and I am curious if this approach would be viable and coherent.

@jakubtomsu_ @its_bvisness @nicbarkeragain I'm actually reading through more of the Clay docs now, and already provides a clear example of how Odin, Clay, and Raylib play together.

@jakubtomsu_ @its_bvisness @nicbarkeragain I'm still curious how text interacts though. Since Clay isn't actually doing the drawing, how do you deal with the potential mismatch between what Clay computes and what actually gets rendered?

@its_bvisness @nicbarkeragain Well, that's unfortunate. My understanding of Clay is that it just handles the layout compute, not the drawing of elements, so you need something to map from the Clay result to a UI.

As a former “code bodger,” I understand the perception that it’s faster to use someone else’s code. I’m actively thinking of a small course to show .NET devs how easy it is to move to Odin and roll your own collections/containers. At times, I’m actually angry about the years I lost. 😂

This is why I said “dedicated” student. Obviously if someone isn’t paying attention, it’s hopeless. I can also accept prerequisites. In my field, if you don’t know Linear Algebra notation, you have no hope. But I find authors often leave out critical details and I have to get several books on a subject and read them in parallel, hoping that between several references, all the details are covered.

Yes and no. I think at some point most think, “I could design something better!” but don’t take the time to think it through. I took a month diving into what would really be required at one point and cured myself of the desire. Toy languages are easy. Industrial strength ones are crazy difficult.

@nicbarkeragain Along the same lines, we were using a library for some of our engine. I rewrote it while stripping out all of the unnecessary edge case logic and it ended up being 70x faster on average. It’s also easier to debug and we can update it.

I need to create a compilation video of all the times my kids complain about load times in games for when people say “performance doesn’t really matter.” They also told me, “Dad, if you ever make a game it will be fast, right?” Hell yes it will!

Any recommended resources for learning OpenGL?

I still get excited about new CPU designs but I’ve realized that software design is what really needs to be improved. We already have obscene abundance when it comes to compute power. Currently learning OpenGL so I can write my own UI for our tool.
