Build time: 19ms Unity builds have completely changed the way I build C/C++ code. I can rebuild my entire game faster than I could have rebuilt a single translation unit and link with CMake previously. Thanks to @cmuratori for showing how to do this in Handmade Hero series!

Neither look like “magic” Maybe try adding some more noise and breaking up the uniform pattern?

Moments like this are why I enjoy programming and game development so much. You put in hours of focused work and these little wins where stuff works make it all worth it!

Another inspiration for me making games in C is @jdah__ Here's his current game, where he is writing a doom/quake inspired FPS game, with level editor, in C: youtube.com/watch?v=Kyhrqb…

No scene manager. No memory allocations. No unloading and loading from disk. The time it takes to load a new level in my game is just the time it takes to copy a struct from the level registry to the current level. #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #noengine #raylib

Unions can be used any time you want to store multiple data types in a variable They can be extra useful with metadata about the type of information they store This is called a "Tagged Union" Here's an example from my game's animation system that lets me target different

I also haven't applied Unions . I don't get their use case

Python has better interop with C, so any parts that need to be performance critical can trivially be written in C Probably the main reason it's stuck around to be honest

Funny how the more you over architect something, the more it actually looks like spaghetti

Unity build is a single translation unit build. Mostly relevant to C/C++. Just compile a single file that includes all your files. Compile times are fast because header files don't get compiled over and over. No game engine. Just raylib.com as a starting point.
