Agree. The tests are great! Playtesting reveals that gameplay breaks my assumptions on how the system should work. Where to go from here? Telling AI to "do TDD" is a shortcut that …

I've been having a bunch of fun working on a couple games on a new platform - everything (platform and games) developed with AI. quackwave.com Hasn't really been stress tested yet …

I work in the slot game industry. Plenty of ex-video game devs in this space. Much better work-life balance, but it's very clearly not the same as making video games.

Very cool. I’m also working on a browser game - multiplayer, deterministic, with simulator for PvP tuning. Email in profile - would love to connect.

Probably true in general. But there are always exceptions. Hard to imagine a tool better than Excel for slot game math calculations. Maybe it can be done? Calculations for slot mac…

The app refreshing every time it comes into focus is annoying. Not sure when this started but it’s frustrating when what I click on isn’t there after the app refreshes

It is useful to use the words hard and easy. As you mention, changing perspective around these concepts is the crux. Hard problems or domains are unknowns. Working towards solving …

On 3: ',' and '.' go backwards/forwards by a single frame when paused.

I work on slot machine games for a smaller company. Good work life balance, no crunch time, and decent pay especially when compared to the video game industry. I’d probably be able…

This is really neat. As someone using Excel to do slot game mathematics calculations, sometimes the excel formulas used are very long, convoluted, and hard to grok when coming back…

GLI and BMM are the two main ones. https://bmm.com/

Recently... 1. On StackOverflow learning more about how C# works under the hood to understand memory/CPU usage (newer to C#, used C++ in a past life) 2. Building/debugging a spread…

It works for math at the scale I use it. Excel is great in my industry (slot machine game/math design). It is fantastic for doing game calculations and there are reasonable ways to…

I work as a mathematician/tools engineer in casino gaming (class 2/bingo based slot machines), so I think I fit this description (math first, software second). People that have thi…
