2) lua is very simple because everything is a primitive, a table or a function. you lose some syntactical niceties because concepts like inheritance, instantiation, etc do not exist. if they did, lua would be too big and slow to be performant and easy to implement as an embedded language

as someone who spent a long time going "i will never use lua because it's too quirky for me" and is now using lua, it boils down to two things:

1) lua is really fast *because* its grammar is limited by a single-pass compiler. so some features simply cannot exist without slowing lua down

lua is also surprisingly (at least to me) old. it's older than Java, which I really think solidified the popularity of a high-level language with c-like conventions

you've got this backwards. mathematical convention is for indexes to start at 1, and many older high-level languages (fortran, cobol, smalltalk, ada). C used 0-based indexing purely as a simplistic low-level decision, but the popularity of C changed public expectations

already making progress 😎 when the proof-of-concept is ready, I would super appreciate your feedback!

i know you've put a lot of work into making Godot's UI work for you, and I'm curious to hear if/how you feel my approach would limit your creativity or design ideals

i think in practice this gets used sparingly because it's expensive. generally only used for fast-moving objects like bullets that fail to collide properly even at decent framerates

this is the answer, and is what game engines tend to encourage

i think it would have been very very cool if the steam machine had a magnetic charger embedded in the case

**very dyslexically** wow i'm flattered

awesome, thanks! been waiting for this announcement for months ✨

wait is there an official valve announcement somewhere? all i'm finding are 3rd party articles about this stuff

it's hard for me to say for sure without knowing more, but there's probably a way to do this that will save you a ton of time. if you're interested, send me a DM, i'm happy to help figure something out!

i actually like being awake at 7 am a lot because i can check my phone clock, think "oh nice it's only 7 am" and then sleep for another hour

i hope this helps
