paul1.png I put an attachment on showing my debugging session. Looks like it works fine. I imagine you may be somehow examining y after it has finished the loop, in which case yes it will always be 3 when vision is always 2. It loops if it is less than or equal to vision (2), then increments it to ...

Yeh I've been using 2019 for a while - I think since 2020. It's great. It was either 2015 or 2017 that was a turd. I think 2015 and 2017 fixed that up and 2019 is just better again. I imagine 2022 should be good.

Usually at the middle top of Visual Studio (VS) there is a dropdown with debug or release in it. That is where you choose the build configuration. When in release you can still run with debugging (F5) and it will hit breakpoints but it jumps around like crazy and values are all wacky. Basically it i...

Man that's rough, I feel for you. I don't know how people deal with divorce and all that complicated life stuff. I had a girlfriend once when I was 18 to 20 (about 1.5 years really). She and it was amazing but ended badly and I've never been in a position to meet anyone else since. I don't know I co...

Are you debugging in release mode? That does strange things.

Do you mean that the "vision" variable is always 3?

I didn't mean this to be so long but it is good to talk. I talk about the game stuff halfway down lol. Thanks papa I appreciate your concern. It's been a bit of a hard thing losing the job. The work and product was not aligning with me but the people were basically good friends. I burned myself out ...

I've lost my job of 11 years, a bit painful to say the least but I was killing myself working there. Anyway, I've added a ship into my sand simulator thing. I had some ideas on how it could become a game. It has the light attached to it now which I want to use as part of the gameplay mechanics. I ad...

Sorry papa haven't been on in a while. How many particles? Ahh I haven't counted really but heeeeeaps. It will handle tens of thousands of dynamic particles. Millions of static ones. I have further improvements I want to make to physics logic and utilise a shader for part of it too, we'll see, lots ...

I made another video on this thing. Progress has been slow. Mostly I half-rewrote it to be able to multi-thread it. Weeks of work and the threading took about 1.5 hours after that. Made the material colours able to vary. Added another material to test interaction with existing material. At the momen...
