Question: hey- do you think the apple m2 chips might really change the game? making many other chips and peripherals obsolete?
Asked by 2022 (91.110.225.x) on January 30 2022, 4:49pm
Reply on January 31 2022, 9:58pm:
    I don't think anything really changes any sort of game at this point, it's all small incremental stuff. The M1s are nice from a power standpoint, but only a bit nicer than the alternatives... I think that'll continue.

Question: Hello Mr. Frankel, I didn't seen that : user.cockos.com/~deadbeef/?article=138 I totally agree. I just wanted to know how do you prevent someone to patent and from frobiding you to freely continue a tool you made. I mean, is copyright a sufficient proof of anteriority ? At this stage I know absolutely nothing about software protection during its development phase and after its publication... I just want to avoid taking the wrong path :) Have de good day ! All the Best.

Question: Do you/did you ever play Age of Empires 2? What are your thoughts? Would you know why a 20+ year old game still runs slow on modern top computers when playing multiplayer on large maps?

Reply on January 19 2022, 9:55pm:
    I didn't, but my guess would be it's waiting for something that is slow like network latency?

Question: Mixed-Mode DPI Scaling only available in Win 10. Win8.1 doesn't allow you to have dpi aware window and unaware window together for a single process. So, reaper running on win8.1, how do you make the DAW dpi aware and plugin window dpi unaware(let the os scale plugin ui)?

Question: Hello Mr. Frankel ! Hope you're fine. Do you think learning C++ right now is a good thing, I mean :eas a half-time dev. if implementing license cloud or other system is complicated / unwelcome ? Best
Asked by Arlequin (212.224.226.x) on January 15 2022, 9:28pm
Reply on January 17 2022, 4:58pm:
    I don't have any experience with Rust, but I'd say C or C++ are both fine choices, though my use of C++ is also not terribly modern. C sure compiles a _lot_ faster though :). As far as monetizing, doing simple registration keys is preferable to users, and also reduces your support burden (if it requires infrastructure to function, then you're setting yourself up for headaches)
