    I use it as a scripting language for my game engine, but also for all the tooling around it. Premake for generating the VS solution/makefiles, but also my own tools using IUPLua [1…

    I'm working on a 1920 pixels wide screen with a font of size 10. With the toolboxes on the side of my IDE, I can have around 170 characters on a single line without having to scrol…

    Ahah, yes of course :) But this also applies to smartphones, and it seems like the trend nowadays is only to make them thinner.

    Since nowadays we all have autocompletion and good refactoring tools (to rename a variable), I usually give a pretty explicit name, even if it's sometimes more than 40 characters l…

    Why not use the 2.5 jack connector?

    I think the purpose of this kind of exercise is not to have the developer implement the whole class, but rather see how far he can go, how he can prioritize the subtasks and how he…

    I'm in the office so I wont download the beta now, but I think you should add more info on the website about the project (features, platforms supported etc) What do you mean by "un…

    Is the ratio price/hours of gameplay really relevant here? A long and boring game for cheap is not more interesting than a short but amazing experience for a higher price.

    I'm not using Vim or Emacs but still doing intensive use of ctrl and shift in Visual Studio so I might give it a try :) Thanks for your replies

    Is anyone using a pedal in addition of a keyboard on a daily basis? Do you really think this could be a significant help when typing code?

    I would only put courses that lead to a degree on my resume under the Education section. If you have extra knowledge that you want to mention, a Qualification section would be the …

    I can't find the info on the website, is it possible to code in C++? All I see is the LUA scripting. The engine look really artist oriented, but I think the first people you want t…

    A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn with a job offer. The interview went well and I got the position, so I quit my previous job and moved to the UK.

    One of the thing that annoyed me is that the language forces you to put your opening braces on the same line as your condition/loop. I like to have them on the same vertical line, …

    I think what could be considered an early optimization (but not premature) is the architecture design of your software. I dont know how you did your application, but in this exampl…
