When I've bought records from the US, they've always come in via Royal Mail, and they send me an email with a link on it to pay customs duty/VAT and a handling fee. You go to their website, pay by card and then they deliver. That's what I was expecting this time, but nothing ever came. I'm...

It's here, just arrived five minutes ago. The customs/VAT was....£0.00! I didn't pay anything, no emails asking for payment, the delivery driver didn't ask me for anything. I really think that's some sort of clerical error, but I'm not complaining. I got my Pandora for £200, now I've got my...

Still no change from Birmingham 7am Friday morning. If it wasn't for this flipping snow I'd drive there and storm the Fedex building :D

Nope, no movement today. The last record is still yesterday morning in Birmingham.

Well mine's in Birmingham as of 7am this morning, so at least I know it wasn't a problem getting into the country. Just an hour drive from me, but no doubt there's more processing to do so who knows how long it'll take. Still no email asking for the VAT payment though.

Yeah, 626EUR sounds about right, I didn't pay much attention to be honest, I just wanted to get it paid for. There's a couple of 'In transit' movements against the tracking now at 'ROISSY CHARLES DE GAULLE CEDEX FR' at 6pm and 7:30pm, not sure why there's two. Those aren't GMT times though...

Yeah, I'm developing a game, more a demo really. I'm trying to do a couple of levels of a Starfox-style game. It's slow going because I'm learning C++ to do it. And I've just scrapped most of my code because my structure was holding me back. I'm now trying the approach recommended by...

My Pyra has shipped. The email says it will be delivered before 12:00 today, and it was scanned in a place in France at 5:00 this morning, so that seems doable, but unlikely. I've not had a customs charge email yet. Are parcels even allowed to come into the UK from Europe mainland at the...

I've just had my email and have ordered my Pyra. But sorry, I don't know what number preorder I had so that won't give much information. But at least you know more emails are going out.

I'm using C++ with SDL2. I'm currently following Handmade Hero on Youtube because my current structure is really crappy and holding me back. So I need tips on better structuring my code, which I'm getting from those Youtube videos. Pygame seems good for your purposes. I'm not a big fan of...

It's an incredible game, so much so that I'm considering buying it again to play at 60fps. The price helps, I'm glad they aren't doing it full price. It doesn't do anything different structurally. It is pretty much a standard open-world game in the Ubisoft mold, towers reveal the area, with a...

All of these :D Source : A cursory glance at the list reveals a few gems I wasn't aware of. I'm definitely going to grab the Settlers 2 remake next weekend when I've got a bit of time, I had just been playing it a bit on GOG/Dosbox recently, but I'm sure it will be better native with a few...

I'm not particularly knowledgeable on such things but I think the panfrost driver might be relevant, it's an open source driver for mali GPUs being developed by Collabora

Just in case it's passed anyone by (it did me until recently), Jonathon Blow of Braid and The Witness fame is making a new programming language for games called Jai. It seems like he's been working on it for about five years, and it's a compiled language aimed at being better than C++ for...

You're worried about the power consumption of RAM on a device that has maybe 10+ battery life?

Sorry, no, that doesn't help, I'd need to know where it segfaulted to have a chance

Hmm, I'll take a look, but it looks almost certainly like a problem with the shader. At a guess, I'd say the file is missing. There should be a bunch of shader*.glsl files in the assets directory, three or four of them I think. Looking at it, I'd say you were missing shaderBasic.glsl. Try...

I've added a new post with better collision detection and building/debugging using VSCode : https://kaprikawn.wordpress.com/2020/04/13/learning-to-learn-opengl-es-2-0-part-30-improved-collision-debugging-vscode/

I've added a rudimentary HUD element to my game now : https://kaprikawn.wordpress.com/2020/03/22/learning-to-learn-opengl-es-2-0-part-29-hud/ It shows a bomb counter in the bottom left, and pressing F on the keyboard decrements it. I've also added a health bar.

No, not the Vulkan renderer. But 4.0 will still support ES2. And my understanding is that there will be general improvements to the 3D that will benefit ES2 as well as Vulkan because reduz is refactoring the renderer extensively.
